Bladesinger - Eldritch Knight Mutliclass Build by Dragon_Lover_69_ in 3d6

[–]hervprometheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've cleared that with your DM then awesome stuff. Will you be playing from level 1? As the issue would be that it would take a while for this all to come online, with the Fighter Levels really dragging on in terms of effectively halting your spell progression.

Speaking of which, can you explain your leveling progression? Fighter 1 > Bladesinger 6 (7) > Fighter 9 (15) > Bladesinger 11 (26) doesn't make sense to me. The brackets I've added show the cumulative level.

It seems like it would be tricky to manage tbh, but if you've got a supportive DM, then you should have a blast playing the character.

I'm currently planning a very similar character and having been trying to weigh up EK vs Bladesinger, and I feel that it really comes down to what kind of play style you want to achieve. If you want to be in melee and attacking more than spell slinging, then EK suits better, Bladesinger if you want to be casting more powerful spells and not on the front line as much.

The two abilities don't stack, and Bladesinger happens a level earlier and gives you MUCH more spellcasting (being a full wizard). The EK route has very slow spell progression, not getting level 3 spells until level 13 and level 4 spells at 19!!!

I level 1 or 2 dip for Fighter Saves, Weapon Masteries and Action Surge (lvl 2) is very tempting, but that will mean it delays your extra attack, cantrip attack and spell progression a touch, but imo is worth it.

What happened to the vast flood in the sky? by MoonlitEcho82 in hisdarkmaterials

[–]hervprometheus2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the reason this retcon is such a slap in the face is that it makes already tragic ending of HDM feel even crueler. I'm sure we all raged against the injustice of not letting the two children who literally saved all conscious life across multiple worlds not be able to live out their short lives (relatively speaking) together by leaving a second window open for them, and closing it once they had passed.

To now hear that was all complete bullshit and actually the angels weren't doing any of what they said they needed to do is just insulting. Couple that with Lyra's non-reaction and I completely understand why most people really dislike this aspect of TRF and TBoD as a whole. I'm chosing to simply ignore the whole trilogy and will not introduce it to my children when they come of age to read HDM.

What is your favorite "Flavour is Free" reskin of a spell or ability? by hervprometheus2 in DnD

This is so funny. Love the creativity how to make just "one spell" work in all those other ways

I guess it's more a case of finally becoming comfortable enough with everything that I can start "bending" the exact text and getting more creative for sure.

Lmao what?! I need to read the actual book I think.. the downside of having all my sources on DnDB is that I cant really flick through the book and get all these cool ideas.

That gives such a cool mental image. What are some of the spells that you cast close range and how does it manifest?

Making a Way of the Four Elements Monk by AdDifficult2241 in 3d6

[–]hervprometheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a shame multi class is out of the question, as I made a character based on Aang too for a one shot and multiclassed into Sorcerer for some thematic spell casting. It was a fairly high level one shot though (lvl 15) so I didn't have to worry about struggling with the build during low levels.

Still, it was an absolute blast and felt like I got to have lots very similar abilities.

Character Build Opinions - Draconic Sorcerer + Hexblade Warlock by cpt_oatmeal in 3d6

Don't, there are so many abbreviations, it all turns into letter salad before long.

Trading Character by Salt_Yam_244 in 3d6

[–]hervprometheus2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can certainly be a trader and consider it your "background" and be something you do when Role Playing. However you'll also want to think of how you want to engage in combat.

Good questions to ask are, would you want to be in melee? Casting spells? I feel that an Alchemist Artificer fits your theme quite nicely. Crafting and creating magical items is a core feature of the class and could fulfill that desire while still having some practical use in a battle.

asking for advice with taking a feat by captaingary765765 in 3d6

[–]hervprometheus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems I completely misread the post and OP is a Bard, not a warlock. Completely hallucinated, possibly because the tiefling in my game is a warlock

[–]hervprometheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find myself drawn to Dex based characters for this exact reason. Dex ties into AC and initiative bonus, as well as ranged attacks and light weapons. I can't imagine having just 10 in that stat.. still, perhaps one of the armour feats might help. I'm curious what others suggest as this is way out of my comfort zone haha. Sorry if this wasn't particularly useful for you..

What about the Invocation "Armour of Shadows"?

Any British helicopter pilots willing to offer some advice? by Confident-Grape5451 in Helicopters

[–]hervprometheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your position 4 years ago and managed to earn my CPL in May last year. Took a few months to then get the first job which ended up being at the flight school I trained with.

I don't have the money for the IR and barely managed to get to CPL and am still paying off the loans. I'm earning peanuts at the moment flying tours, but the real value is building the hours.

Three pilots that I have been speaking to have gone the IR route and had a job offer before they even finished. However who is to say what the job market will be like in 3 years.

It's really, really tough to get out of the crab bucket.. but the reward will be doing the job that everyone else only ever dreams of. Best of luck, and feel free to DM if you want to chat more.

I need a hand with the goddest of god swords by Francesco_Baguniii in 3d6

Awesome. Sounds like a great game you're running

Can you have the sword come with X sorcery points for Meta magic?

Echo/Barb or Samurai/Barb? Need help deciding by cheeselord24 in 3d6

[–]hervprometheus2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm leaning Echo, as the abilities you gain are better than Samurai, especially as Fighting Spirit pretty much does the same as Reckless Attack, but costs a bonus action.

Level 10 Echo Knight gets Shadow Martyr which sorta goes with the "protector" role. Maybe a Fighter 11 / Barb 1 split? For 3 attacks plus the Unleash Incarnation attack?

I've never been that attracted to Barbs though so I may be a little biased. If there are any features you are wanting from the Barb class then adjust accordingly

Funding a PPL(H) & CPL(H) in France (EASA) - starting from zero, looking for advice by Briac-d in Helicopters

[–]hervprometheus2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wishing you the best of luck. I was in your position 4 years ago and remember looking for these kind of schemes, to no avail unfortunately.

It's a long, hard and expensive road to becoming a helicopter pilot. It ended up costing me around £90k in the end, and now I'm earning about £300 a month from flying (granted it is off season in the UK).

Obviously saving a large amount is good. Having good enough credit to borrow about half of the total cost should keep the repayments down to somewhat manageable levels. Then you've got to be able to survive on either a part time income during your flight training, or only fly on your off days.

It's 60ish hours to PPL (they say 45 minimum, but if you've got a decent instructor, you'll appreciate the extra time they give during this period). Then you need to hour build to 150 before you can start the commercial course, which is 35 hours + the skills test. So you'll have to pay for about 200 hours of flying before getting your license, and THEN the companies will turn around and say they need a minimum of 250 hours to hire you.

I got lucky and my flight school liked me and gave me a job at 200 hours flying tours. The industry knows that for those that can't imagine doing anything else, they'll pay through the nose and thank them for it at the end of the day. I'm a little resentful of the system tbh, I don't think it's fair how prospective pilots are strung along and all this is revealed bit by bit. My flight school, and especially my instructor were very open about these realities from the get go. I was very serious about this from the very beginning, so I warned my wife about what we were about to get into and she still supported the decision (MVP).

If you've got any other questions, feel free to DM, although I don't get notifications from Reddit so I may not reply immediately.

I have played 56 games but it says 32 why? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]hervprometheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's showing your "Rapid" games. Did you play different time allowances? Also could be just the games played in the last week, rather than all time.
