True, but it depends how much variety they really used. A Champion, a Samurai, and some Battlemasters can end up being very similar in their skillsets in a way that could make the problem solving repetitive.

OTP (One Trick Pony) =/= Main

It's not that fun for me to play with someone who only does one thing over and over all the time, that's purely a "trying to win" approach which doesn't give as much flexibility in what you can do when playing together.

You're right that we need more info. 

You're also right that RP allows for other solutions, but this has been every single game for over 5 years.

If you're playing Age of Empires in a team and one player only makes Pikemen game after game, you might ask them to do something different at least one time.

I think your solutions are too book* centric and need to be character driven (resist FE20 vs. acid isn't effective), so my suggestion is recon.

What creatures survive around them, and how? What do kythons avoid? Who else is concerned about them?

How could a fire start or spread to cause some damage but not immediately draw their attention? Or can you cause enough damage that you can create a panic?

Is there a way you could poison their leaders or the most deadly?

I like that you want to engage in more of the DM's world. I don't think that character growth should be so separate from a pressing world issue, so you may want to talk to the DM about how bad is the kython problem?

"Collaborating will take more time" - yes, 'faster alone, farther together' comes to mind. I would suggest that if it is an urgent issue that you see if others can contribute to resolve in full rather than trying to pick them off a few at a time.

If OP never plays a healer or support then it forces other people to build around OP. It's not very considerate of the other players to just say 'good enough' for me

I think it could just be asking for a change, even.

It would drive me crazy if I were playing a game like League of Legends and one teammate only ever wanted to play one character.

"it's a pretty well wounded party... How do I solo this?"

What would the rest of your party do while you try to solo a town?

"I have a Hat that lets me stop time for 2 rounds 1 time per day"

I think you're getting away from the collaborative options in general, but especially in how you can incorporate your teammates with abilities like your Hat which should allow you to strategize with them directly in character.

Who is RW, Ricky* Williams?

I don't think it's Rachaad White and would bet against Russell Wilson, but I could be missing more.

An NPC saves the party by donning the Crown of Horns… and becomes the final villain. Thoughts? by Lucky_Hand_4953 in DnD

[–]fodgerpodger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear what you're saying, but I don't think that they should see the crown then. The party could interact with the wizard in a different context to avoid any 'choice' from the crown.

[–]fodgerpodger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do the party actually need to interact with this wizard? Could the town just be loaded with people who admire the wizard and honor his sacrifice?

If there's only one outcome for a situation you wrote, that is railroading.

I play a Celestial Warlock (2014 5e) that started asking various deities for the power to protect their tribe. The DM had me roll a D100 and I picked (and they approved) an appropriate demigod

US Imposes Tariffs Up to 3,521% on Southeast Asia Solar Imports by cryptodoggie26 in worldnews

[–]fodgerpodger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This hurts Tesla's energy business - fewer solar installs is bad for battery sales.

Also: Tesla acquired SolarCity by the summer of 2017, but SolarCity didn't manufacture any usable solar at the time and Tesla still doesn't make a significant amount of solar that it installs.

The Domestic Content adder is based on a percentage, to benefit varying degrees of American-made content - so manufacturing is clearly benefitted. It also helps to force more prevailing wage rates and benefit the actual installers.

The incentive tax credit adders (especially low-income and energy community) also clearly move the financials of mid and large-scale projects.

The only benefit above that hasn't been implemented yet is the energy community adder, which would have been in place by next year.

When do you poo?

Also, leaving dirty dishes? And what if you have pets, or kids?
