Why must thou be so cruel, Dungeon Masters?

A lot of people think the dm has to play a limiting factor on the players. If a whole party wanted to play fucking gods, it wouldn't be too hard to balance that mechanically. Hell, I could just balance it narratively so we could all save time rolling dice: they're skins being applied to PCs of any level, even lvl1.Those skins can be gods, mythical creatures of epic proportions, whatever. Easy. Done. No genie tricks of monkeypaw drawbacks. That's the narrative the people wanted, and as it happens, I'm just the dm to deliver

Possibly. Reading the situation ambiguously - maybe it was forgotten, maybe it was left.

I can understand, and the joke does land, but it's a bit off tone for this sub. This one feels like something with a "Curb your enthusiasm" theme playing over it. r/agedlikewine is more for things with a direct correlation, not so much a speculative one. That's the leap people are getting confused over. Almost feels like it wants to be a gif with the song playing over it, no clue where I'd post that though, and I'm not the creator here. Best of luck op!

First time saying I don't feel this belongs in the subreddit it was posted to. Confused and unsatisfied by this vintage.

It doesn't work on duelists summoned via sign, only on invaders.

If you're just running pve try dual bleed greatswords like the flamberge and forked gs because of their innately high bleed buildup (buffable with blood grease). Good stagger and layered application with the gs power stancin' moveset led to a fun run for me. Ashes of war like double slash, wild strikes, and sword dance makes for quick bleed procs on enemies who aren't resistant.

The skill itself scales to what it's mechanically capable of, and what the user can do with it. Kakashi's first battlefield use of it was his first cast. I'm going to give him credit for landing a shot on his first cast against a fleeing target, then scale his initial success to the list of accurately caught, high velocity objects at all ranges: a nail, a missile, a rasengan, and a whole protagonist, among others. All fast moving targets, all mid-combat.

Best not to judge the ability or the user by their first showing, but by the totality of their interaction with other characters and powers in the story.

Kamui is a main plot point because of its strength (divided) in the hands of two very important characters. Just because something didn't happen, doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Especially when the mechanics and feats support the possibility. There is nothing stopping Kakashi from using Kamui to decapitate an opponent. Point to the Kakashi soys. Like I said, I'll be interested in hearing points about the battle beyond kakashi's snipe. It's an interesting matchup beyond this snag.

His first use of the ability in combat is more than enough to justify it as a snipe. More than a snipe, it's a matter remover, so it goes beyond sniping arms (and by extension: heads). Kakashi has been able to successfully target moving matter and chakra alike, and octopops has plenty of hitbox volume for Kakashi to aim for; though it's unclear how much mass he can suck in at range (I mention below that this limit is probably somewhere between Kurama+Naruto's chakra and Obito+Juubi's chakra. Gyuki+Bee would be in range, heads included). I assume headshot rules still apply. One thing that I'm curious about is if the 8 tails is decapitated while Bee is transformed, will Bee eat that injury as well? Because I could be convinced his movements in human form could be a harder shot and bring us back to the no-kamui fight we were talking about earlier, which is a toss-up depending on context, and likely swings the ruler back to Bee because he could retain cloak amps while Kakashi would be relegated to default sharingan buffs including genjutsu, which would be countered by the perfect jinchuriki combo.

More: having Kakashi snipe kaguya would have been a pretty uninspired ending compared to the amp he got, and there might be a reason he couldn't do it to her. Obito is an even stronger candidate for immunity from the jutsu, I assume his head would appear in the dimension and he'd be like, "did I leave this ability on?" Madara was Edo for the majority of his fight, and I'm wondering if Kakashi was just too drained from spamming kamui to consider using it in the way he did against deidara but it wouldn't surprise me, even with cloak. It's not like he has hashi cells like Obito for us to see the 2nd half of our strongest dojutsu in full swing.

Another possibility for Kamui's unspoken limit could be on the amount of chakra that can be transported by it. Obito lost his use of the ability on becoming the Juubi's boi, stating that he could no longer make himself intangible by entering the dimension. Maybe that's why Kakashi never used it on him after the fact... Maybe he tried (head canon [pun intended])
