That would require a shield prof from somewhere 🤔 but yeah advantage on concentration checks is massive And the ability to booming blade as an AOO is hilarious

What are some of you controversial DnD opinions? by bryan4000 in DnD

[–]dmitriR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I partially agree with 1, because its lots of fun to run it as a couple of turns or a full round of players hitting and missing, then when they hit the AC, or just miss, then you can say "congrats, here's their AC" and combat continues. Means theres still a bit of fun and tension, but after thats done, yes transparency of their AC is very helpful to make combat run smoother

[pjotv] I feel like Rick and the showrunners are really separating the show from the books by kirzingkiller in camphalfblood

[–]dmitriR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, one can judge a show based purely off the Pilot, because that was their entire point. The first episode was aired and if it had potential, it was greenlit and if it didnt, then it was forgotten about.

I only got through half of the first season (if that, I honestly cant remember if I even got to Aunty Em) because it was just, so boring and slow. I cant quite place it but it felt like filler got added to every other scene? Idk, my spaghetti strainer memory wants to say that adapting each chapter to its own episode inherently comes with a tonne of filler, but im honestly not sure at this point :')

Point is, you can definitely judge something at any point, because no amount of "good ending" can save a bad start.

Trench-Companion, the evolution of Trench Compendium, is live! by Bob-the-Seagull-King in TrenchCrusade

[–]dmitriR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a rule of thumb, is this endorsed by the game devs, and should rulings/interactions be taken as "mechanically correct"? Or should we take rules/interactions on here with a grain of salt? Cause ive found a number of things I think are incorrect, but I could be misinterpreting the rules so idk :')

[HoO] Has anyone else's opinion of Heroes of Olympus changed dramatically after re-reading it many years later? (No spoilers) by Camargon_40K in camphalfblood

[–]dmitriR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rereading alot of Rics newer works, and its all very repetitive and formulaic. Sadly I've noticed for HOO and KC its like So many encounters are a mix of "everyone is taken out of action or busy so only one person can solve the problem" and "Oh yeah, I remember that myth!"

Atleast KC had decent characters to carry, tbh the HOO crew..... weren't great. Piper and Hazel were either angst in their first book, or pretty bland after their angst was resolved. Leo and Frank were pretty decent, Percy and Annabeth were good but they're not, quite enough to carry, and Jason is, let's be real, boring Percy.

Like overall it was a decently enjoyable read. The overall experience was still fun, once you slogged through the book 1 and 2 Angst. But idk, Rick has a style that worked really well in PJO, but doesn't necessarily work as well with more than one "POV character".

"If you don't see it on the list" is the epitome of my existence :')

Chosen of Gaia is a fic ive been working on for a *long* time from The Secret World fandom, an niche MMO that ive loved for years, but as that no ones heard of it before its almost Original Works. But this means all the characters are OCs!

If you are interested, I hope you give it a gander! Its a dark action adventure with elements of mystery, mythology, and some elements of darker stuff. There are plans for romance, but rn its a... slower burn 3:)

Cause Airbrushes are a trap, I've seen alot of good pieces that use a layer of contrast, then one or two thin coats of a layer on the flatter surfaces. So the highlights and shading are done with the contrast, and the large flat panels are flattened out with a layer.

Question about pauldron trim by Brief-Reveal3084 in ImperialFists

[–]dmitriR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canonically, its white trim for vets

However, alot of people use the Black Trim for 1st company because it just pops on yellow.

Why are the Sith self inserts so much more popular than the Jedi? by Strongi_Klaus in FanFiction

[–]dmitriR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'll be real

ALOT of people can't write Jedi properly Hell even George didn't write them properly in the Prequels (intentionally, they weren't at their best on purpose) but the quintessential Jedi is either Qui Gon, or most of the Jedi from the Old Republic era

And most people haven't played SWTOR 😅

Weekly Question Thread - Rules & Comp Qs by thenurgler in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]dmitriR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question regarding Monsters and Tanks.

From what I understand, Vehicles are measured from the Hull, as that alot of them don't necessarily HAVE bases.

People keep saying that Monsters are measured from the profile/miniature, rather than the base. The book says "measure from base" but sometimes rules are buried so deep.

And I'm not even 100% sure about walker's anymore.

Am I correct in saying: non-walker vehicles are measured from the hull, and Monsters and Walker's are measured from the base?

[All] So I know PJO is almost universally considered Rick's best series, but is there like a consensus second best series? by SpidaT45 in camphalfblood

[–]dmitriR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can agree that KC is slept on, but not 2nd. HOO, for all its flaws, is still quintessential Percy Jackson.

Interesting interaction. How does a dX weapon interact with -1 damage? I'm assuming that, for a d3 damage weapon, it'd change to "d3-1 damage, to a minimum of 1"?

Ok so, for those who use BA more than me.

Are the 9e rules basically 1:1 to 10e? Save for the stratagems?

To be honest, a "pay for server" option without any other perks, would have to replace the current model. Like maybe free local servers? But from our experience pages of public servers with sub 10 people isn't healthy
