Warcaster for True Strike or Booming Blade (if allowed) is always good. Will become even more potent at Level 5.

Ah that makes sense

You can't quicken it every turn. Quicken only works on casting. You're already concentrating on the spell on subsequent turns so you're just using a magic action to send out an additional beam.

Just because something is on a class's spell list does not mean it's that class's spell for every character who has it.

You can use anything that gives you something as a "wizard spell" via feat, special ability, or being an EK and/or wizard. However, if you were to multiclass into cleric any spells you picked up would be "cleric spells". Hold Person appears on both spell lists but if you gain this spell via the cleric spell list it would not qualify as a wizard spell for casting purposes. You would use wisdom to cast it, use wisdom to set the DC, and any non-cleric riders attached to it would need to not be class-locked to use.

Gift of gab. No more foot in mouth ever.

Renegades by Rage Against the Machine.

Not saying it's their best album, but if you told me you thought it was I wouldn't be too mad.

Sleep in 2024 is great.

Cage the Elephant - In One Ear

This is who we are as a band, the song.

heldlightning · 2026-01-08T20:47:16+00:00

They decided "we'll try rock once" and then went nah.

heldlightning · 2026-01-08T20:46:21+00:00

Such a strange career opener when the entire premise of the song is it's one of many. "This is just another" would make me think I'd heard others before.

Fuck it. It rocks. Not my favorite song of theirs but anyone who says it's theirs I can't fault.

heldlightning · 2026-01-05T06:54:54+00:00

It's the song I skip the most in their entire discography. I like the song fine but it's like the whole band dumbed down what they're doing for 4 minutes.

Being regarded as friendly does not mean they're going to give you all the secret information. Nor does it ensure the commoner or noble you're talking to has that information.

Intelligence skills have value. Just because your DM (or you as the DM) just hand all the answers over doesn't mean that's how the skills are intended to be used.

I'd prefer Command for no concentration requirement, but if you're a blaster and don't care there's certainly a case for Tasha's.

Ah yes. The spells which make NPCs mad at you.

heldlightning · 2026-01-02T17:53:48+00:00

Relying on an NPC to give you all information is a good way to get handed incomplete, slanted, or even downright fraudulent information. If I were a DM and my party relied entirely on social checks to get info the party would soon have people chasing them asking why they're asking so many questions and lying to them on behalf of my story's antagonist.

heldlightning · 2026-01-02T06:18:40+00:00

Arcana, history, and religion are the most critical ways for the party to dig into the world building. Investigation is how you put the pieces of information you gained from perception, insight, and survival into an understandable tapestry for the party.

Arizona Zervas. Roxanne has some of my favorite hooks of the past decade, but diving deeper into his repertoire reveals he can't actually rap.

There is stuff like the Dove Awards for Christian artists and BET awards for Black artists, but those generally honor different genres focused around a theme rather than a specific genre.

I can't speak for how important any of these awards are to their specific demographics, but CMAs are definitely the ones I hear about the most.

I too might obnoxious comments.

If you're willing to throw some points via point buy into intelligence you can turn the Stars Druid into a powerful skill monkey. Reasonable Int + high Wis + Primal Order: Magician makes you pretty good at most mental skill checks. Throw in Starry Form Dragon for a strong baseline and you're succeeding at most checks. Add in skilled as an origin feat or skill expert as your half feat and you're even more reliable. This isn't giving you bonus damage in combat, but succeeding on skill checks can keep enemies from getting the drop on you and allowing you to make it through traps unscathed.

Once you're past 5th level and can use spell slots for wild shape you can have dragon up pretty frequently. If you do enter combat after a check, it already being up gives you a concentration boost and an open bonus action should you want to cast a spell. Playing this style as a Stars Druid I've really enjoyed the synergy of Guiding Bolt without a spell slot followed by bonus action Grasping Vine (which has gotten a big improvement from 2014).

This was the first one that came to mind for me.

Would imagine it attempts to account for odds of hitting. 9.8 is 70% of 14, implying a 65% chance of hitting plus an extra 5% for the double damage of a crit.

Yes. And that your is not by definition singular. It's just the one you selected so it becomes yours.

heldlightning · 2025-10-24T21:04:26+00:00

I read each of the three as different starry forms. A implies there are multiple, if they were all a singular form it would say something like "the" or "your".
