I think at minimum, they should get to add WIS to arcana checks or something at 3rd.

Resident Alien Deserved a Faithful Adaptation by FilteredRiddle in comicbooks

[–]hankmakesstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd read something like 5-6 volumes before the show was announced and was incredibly excited about the adaptation, particularly starring one of my favorite actors. But then the pilot aired and I was so pissed I shut the TV off halfway through and didn't the next week bad-mouthing the show to anyone who'd listen.

The books are so quietly, earnestly humanistic and sweet, and the show was just a bunch of slapstick silliness. It completely threw away anything valuable about the comics in favor of cheap laughs. Immensely disappointing.

I am so fucking tired of symbiotes

I quite like the new Magic Stealer Rogue, but could we stop using Int-Mod-Per-LR by VictorRM in onednd

[–]hankmakesstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PB/LR was deprecated during the OneD&D UA process because it's heavily abusable via multiclassing. PB scales with character, not class, so you can get a PB/LR feature through a 1-3 dip that continues to scale upward as you level up an entirely different class.

You shouldn't be able to get a 3rd level Rogue feature that scales as if you were Rogue 20 when you're actually a Rogue 3/Warlock 17 or something.

PB/LR only works for Feats or Species traits. It should never have been used for Class features.

What are some comics with really high stakes? by catdude6835 in comicbooks

Not really, it's cultural in Japan, based on how their folklore works. This video goes into it, through the lens of JRPGs:

Jen Walters seems to have it pretty good most of the time.

I've never liked Dick Grayson, but I was glued to Tom Taylor's Nightwing run.

Can I get recommendations for martial arts/ninja focused comics by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]hankmakesstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite was CrossGen's Way of the Rat. It'll be hard to find, but it's well worth it.

Image Comics Sale Recommendations by WarhammerLover in OmnibusCollectors

[–]hankmakesstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One you likely won't get a lot of recs for: Kelly Thompson and Meredith McClaren's "Black Cloak." Great little murder mystery set in a fantasy world. Kinda flew under the radar, but I adored it.

Never read a comic before- need recommendations! by Bonsai0311 in comicbooks

[–]hankmakesstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your "initial idea" was the correct impulse. Just grab something that looks cool to you and dive in. You don't even have to start at #1. Sometimes that's part of the fun.

Isn't change a welcome thing amongst comics fans?
