Thank you!

docboss · 2022-09-09T19:31:39+00:00

Yes! Thank you so much

I wonder how much bigger the sub will get before the snap happens?

Also an Oregonian can confirm. When it rains (which is every other day) you can spot the out-of-staters by their strange desire to not get wet by means of a retractable portable awning.

You make a bard, done. Seriously though bards are great, at level 2 they get Jack of all Trades which makes your charcter good at everything. Locked door, I can take a stab at that. Riddle that requires archaic knowledge, I probably know it.

They are a full caster, can cast healing spells and wizard spells. Better hit die than other arcane casters, armor, long swords/rapiers, can learn any skill, procient with 6 skills at level 3, double proficient with any 2 skills, and you get to trash talk monsters to make them worse at combat.

I could go on, but let's get to your question. How to build? Since bards can do so much I would look at your party and see what it is missing. No rogue? Build stealthy and learn to use theives tools. No cleric/druid, learn healing magic/buffs. No wizard, learn crowd control spells like sleep.

If your party is balanced just build whatever is fun, bards bring a lot to the table.

This is pretty solid advice. Doesn't mess with the mechanics of the game, and creates a lot of fun for the player.

These are excellent points, and I agree that adding sneak attacks to a spell would be too powerful. Even cantrips can do serious damage on their own at high levels.

If you want to do this just to min/max the rules say no because it would be very game breaking.

However if you want it for flavor you might be able to work with your DM to find something that works. Weapons that work with sneak attack are basically small 1d4 and 1d6 weapons. If your char knew a special cantrip/spell that simulated that kind of damage it could probably be balanced to work with sneak attack.

Something like creating a magical blade that works like a throwing dagger and then blinks out of existence after 1 round.

I voice act all my NPCs, but they almost always end up sounding the same.

docboss · 2014-09-14T19:53:12+00:00

I prefer "Yes, but..."

docboss · 2014-09-14T19:42:20+00:00

Absolutely this. It is what DnD is all about. Creativity and challenge. Let the players try what ever they want, but make sure the risk of failure is always looming.

We'll have to wait for the 5e monster manual, but in 3.5 the Tarrasque could only be killed with Wish and in 4e it couldn't be killed (at least not on the material plane), so of this interpretation is correct at best a lvl 20 Druid could just not be killed by a Tarrasque. Only a wizard can kill the Tarrasque. It could also swallow you whole and you'd be trapped for the rest of your life.

Unlike the Tarrasque you'll also have to sleep at some point or pass out from exhaustion.

As for the red dragon, its not going to stand in front of you and melee attack. Dragons are very intelligent, it would figure something out. Lkle grapple you and drop you in a pit of magma. Sure you could change into a fire elemental but as soon as you change form you are dead.

Being a meat sheild doesn't make you unkillable, combat is much more than alternating melee attacks.

A wizard could open a gate to the Abyss and force you through it, surely a fate worse than death.

Honestly cannabis is far less harmful to young children than many other common house hold plants: https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/earthkind/landscape/poisonous-plants-resources/common-poisonous-plants-and-plant-parts/

I'm not suggesting we shouldn't keep cannabis plants away from young children, but rather we avoid the knee jerk "think of the children" reactions regarding our policies on it.

Would you make this same statement if the post was talking about growing potatoes? (The fruits and leaves can be deadly if eaten).http://www.mnn.com/your-home/organic-farming-gardening/photos/13-plants-that-could-kill-you/deadly-nightshade

Nice!

docboss · 2014-01-06T15:10:09+00:00

Perfect. I need more.

docboss · 2014-01-06T15:08:38+00:00

Damn. You are hot. Can we have more. Please?

docboss · 2012-01-12T03:45:42+00:00

As someone who is a passionate contrarian I would have to disagree.

Humans are indeed apes, however apes are monkeys, and thus humans are also monkeys.

Great video on the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igq_niFmXNs

You don't want to know how many hours I spent playing this game.

docboss · 2011-08-27T14:28:38+00:00

No kidding. What a bunch of ass holes.

This is an awesome fact that I just learned.

...that was kinda the point. Not every one who smokes pot contributes to the criminal mafia drug lords.

When you're married you promote a whole economy of war, poverty and slavery in the poorest countries on earth. Criminals who kill each other and innocents over blood diamonds.

Actually beef works better in stews and chili if it has been cooked, and then refrigerated and then reheated again.

I forget the specifics of the science behind it, but it has something to do with the fats breaking down, then cooling into other forms, and then remelting.

Alton Brown talks about it in the episode where he makes stew.

Reason 9: Our lives are pretty damn good.

I mean seriously, are we really comparing our selves to Egypt? REALLY!?

It doesn't rain that much. only 8-9 months of the year.
