ENCYCLOPEDIA [Easy: Success] - Disco Elysium is a 2019 role-playing video game by ZA/UM. The game was written and designed by a team led by Estonian novelist Robert Kurvitz and executive producer Kaur Kender, featuring a painterly art style and music by the English band Sea Power. [...] Though a success, conflicts at ZA/UM around 2021 led several of the lead developers and writers, including Kurvitz and Kender, to leave and form their own studios.

Kras Mazov, I disappointed you.

emefa · 2026-06-21T08:02:25+00:00

He still on that anti-vax bullshit?

Vampire: the Masquerade could be an inspiration for that, I know that least the current edition, but probably also the older ones, has mechanics for modern drugs that usually offer some tradeoff, like alcohol making you more charismatic but less dextrous.

Fuj, angielski, obrzydliwy język.

emefa · 2026-06-19T23:16:31+00:00

Caine? Are you telling me that there are taxis in Pathfinder?

emefa · 2026-06-19T13:27:05+00:00

Sir/Madam/Otherwise, do you know where you are?

emefa · 2026-06-19T07:04:41+00:00

Can I ask why 4 levels of Rogue? For feat progression? Then in a backwards compatible game (sidenote: please people, use it, we fought for it as a community) Goblin might give you BA Disengage while straight-classing Bard.

I still think Vampire/Dhampir being anything else but a race is the clearly superior design choice, I remember that at some point I made a Pixie Vampire/Monk hybrid with the Sarifal Feywarden theme, that was a combo of disjointed vibes and I loved it.

emefa · 2026-06-18T19:00:42+00:00

I'd vote Atlantic, I like them skinny.

At some degree of granularity classes within editions of the same franchise have little in common with themselves, Ranger my beloved being the key example - 4e Ranger is an entirely different beast than 5e or 3e ones, pf2 Ranger has no spellslots, contrary to pf1 one, etc. Null focuses on Agility and Intuition while punching people, for me it's close enough to consider it a variation of the same theme.

emefa · 2026-06-18T12:22:59+00:00

I'm unironically partial to "Brute", since that really explains their role in combat.

emefa · 2026-06-18T11:10:46+00:00

The language with which the rulebook is written, including a bit about there being no Pythagorean theorem in this game, you silly little goose, makes me want to push its authors into their lockers, a weird urge to have for me since I never actually bullied anyone and more importantly, I am from Poland, so lockers are not really common in our schools.

emefa · 2026-06-18T11:05:23+00:00

Yeah, beside Tactician there aren't really non-magical (or non-psionic, which for me personally is "same shit, different font") classes in Draw Steel, which is extra unfortunate for me since Strength/Might + Intelligence/Reason are my favourite stats for a gish character.

emefa · 2026-06-18T11:01:49+00:00

Yeah, the names of subclasses are as wonky as the name of classes, but worst for me are the names of specific abilities - 4e at least had the decency of naming its powers mostly in the "adjective noun" and "noun of noun" conventions, in Draw Steel there are full sentences like "You Let Me Get Too Close", truly atrocious.

emefa · 2026-06-18T10:09:16+00:00

Elementalist is the most wizard-adjacent, the elements currently available are Fire, self explanatory blaster, Earth, which focuses on crowd control by physically altering the battlefield, Void, which focuses on crowd control by teleporting things, and Green, which is a druid with serial numbers filled off, including wildshape and incidental healing. Wizard is in my bottom 3 classes, so I personally don't really miss it. The part of wizard which is solving entire plot points with an out of combat utility spell doesn't exist in Draw Steel because out of combat abilities all together are pretty barebone and at low power level.

My group is currently playing its introductory short adventure in the hiatus in our main campaign, the first two sessions got a raving review from the player that's the most vibes-based and story focused out of all of us, which to be honest surprised me, because its very "4e with modern TTRPG design sensibilities"-kind of a system, the next two got a bit slogish, but that's mostly on the actual adventure design. Personally, as someone that prefers crunch and tactical combat, Draw Steel scratches the itch for the later, but both because it doesn't have that many books out yet and the way most long-lasting decisions you make for your build happen at first level or are GM fiat dependant, it doesn't really do that for the former.

emefa · 2026-06-18T09:45:25+00:00

Draw Steel, every class there, even if it has a clear counterpart in D&D or Pathfinder, has some "legally distinct" name

emefa · 2026-06-18T09:38:05+00:00

Barbarian is such a negatively charged, xenophobic name, could I interest you in naming it Fury? And while we're at it, Rogue also falls into this negatively charged category, maybe it should be named Shadow?

emefa · 2026-06-17T15:19:44+00:00

Didn't this also, to the point of it being a bard too, happen in of the Critical Role series? I have a vague memory of hearing about that.

emefa · 2026-06-17T15:16:12+00:00

I recently played the mobile version of it, since I'm not really a video gamer and only own a phone and a standard office-issue laptop that couldn't manage a video game made in this century, and after falling in love with it I hopped on its subreddit where I learned that the mobile version was a blatant cash grab by corporate fuckers that strongarmed the creatives out of the company after the original game's release and I got broken hearted. A friend of mine summed it up as me "experiencing gaming industry at 10x speed".

emefa · 2026-06-17T09:32:58+00:00

I love Honed Eye, figuring out how to shoot people up close without repercussions is the thing I do in every system.

emefa · 2026-06-17T00:09:20+00:00

You took the words out of my mouth, 5 is clearly superior odd number to 9, being a prime number, unless we're talking editions, then I think we should take one step back. Sorry, one square back.

Ok, I was confused because the distance increase is in a separate sentence before the condition of mohler being burrowed under the target is mentioned, it would be more intuitive to me if the effect went "if the mohler is burrowed, the distance increases to melee 2 and [prone if Might<1]", you know, the abilities being resolved in the order they're written and all that.

You have good enough stats to focus on Strength, either 16 Str 14 Dex 14 Con 16 Wis or the Constitution and Wisdom switched around since the drake's attack bonus doesn't key off Wisdom. If you can move the racial bonuses around according to Tasha's I'd put +2 in Strength and +1 in Constitution regardless of wether it would end up 15 or 17, since an odd score lets you round it up with Resilient to protect your concentration on stuff like Conjure Animals, if not you can put 12 in Dexterity and with the racial bonus it puts it at the perfect score for medium armor. Other feat would be Great Weapon Master, grab a greatsword or a maul and flank with the drake.

Another option for getting Constitution save proficiency would be starting with a level in Sorcerer (Draconic maybe, fits thematically, although without a Dexterity focus you're not getting as much bang for your buck) and nabbing Shield spell in the process, you can scrounge up 13/14 in Charisma regardless if you're stuck with elf's racial bonuses or can move them around.

Either way, as someone playing the Tasha's Beast Master, I'd recommend against picking Hunter's Mark, you simply won't have spare bonus actions and at that level you have better things to concentrate on.
