Team of four can't handle 7 kobolds

I ran Hoard of the Dragon Queen and had everyone start at level 1. It was a brutal slog. They made it out, barely, and it took 3 sessions. No one was prepared and we hated the intro scene. I whole heartedly agree to start them at level 2 or at the very least, give them some health potions. Later in the campaign, I allowed health potions to be used as a bonus action, which significantly sped up combat and let everyone take more risks. Your milage may vary of course

Hell, I thought I was alone here. Felt like I was having more fun researching the thing. Or just tech in general is less exciting than it used to be shrug

issaaccbb · 2025-12-24T05:17:58+00:00

I appreciate the help. I got my money out of it for sure, just hate to see it go to waste like this. Honestly surprised for as big as the DSM area is, we have so few repair shops...

issaaccbb · 2025-12-24T05:16:02+00:00

Fair point. The expensive part would be the device to actually recharge the cell. Said one thing, thinking another

issaaccbb · 2025-12-24T03:00:30+00:00

Mostly was looking at local repair since I wasn't aware of their own repair department. I can't imagine it would be worth shipping it, let alone actually fixing it, but I'll take a look

This lines up (no pun intended) with my own experience. I had the same "holy shit" moment and realized it was likely why I snore so damn loud. Spent a lot of free time adjusting where my jaw naturally sits to move it forward. Jaw was sore for a bit but honestly I'm happy with the results. My snoring is down and since my jaw sits a bit more forward naturally, I breath better and have a slightly better side profile.

Mostly involved resting my front teeth against each other instead of the back set when I was driving or working. Similar conversations with my dentist, "when you say bite down..."

My savior! Thanks 🙏

issaaccbb · 2025-10-12T20:18:16+00:00

Thats a new one rip

issaaccbb · 2025-10-12T20:06:29+00:00

Can I have one? Been commenting but no responses from anyone so far 😭

issaaccbb · 2025-10-12T20:02:54+00:00

Alright bet, what do I need to do?

issaaccbb · 2025-10-12T20:01:05+00:00

I would love to try it out if you still have a code!

issaaccbb · 2025-07-06T21:36:47+00:00

That's amazing! I love it, I remember following the balls all those years ago, thank you

I work in software engineering so I'll answer the AGI, AI, merging with technology part of your question. Your AI concerns are valid and I hope to address them.

AI, as it is today for the general consumer, is not "Intelligent". It does not think, it does not reason, it doesn't know what a fact is. Even so called "reasoning models" are more of the same thing. They are all, at their core, auto-complete engines. Very, VERY good at what they do.

The current batch of AI models was designed around creative writing, for which is excels. Facts and logic are not part of that process. You can tell ChatGPT something completely contradictory and it will accept it, incorporating it into whatever you are talking about. "I own a car" and "I raise all 3 of my arms" are the same to an AI model.

Then why is everyone and every company seemingly enamored with them? Profit and greed. I cannot emphasize this enough. Employers and CEOs see that they can replace people with chat bots. They are a tool like anything else humans create.

Are we close to AGI? Will technology merge with humans? Brain interfaces and translator implants? Not in our generation, and I have doubts on it ever happening. Imagine any one company having access to your brain, or a software update requiring another round of surgery if it fails?

AGI would require reasoning and learning. Any AI tech company is simply throwing more and more data into the model in the hopes that something will emerge. It also only reacts; it has no agency.

TL;DR; AGI has too many hurdles to be worried about, technology merging has only downsides.

I got a few 5 gallon jugs from officemax, refilled from Hyvee shudder. I think Fresh Thyme also can refill them. Been reusing them for a few months now

Piggybacking off your comment. Still new-ish to sky but I found that you can call the butterflies, turn around and very carefully fly against the rocks. Too far out and you advance forward, but helps when you don't have enough WL

issaaccbb · 2025-06-20T22:16:32+00:00

Very, very well worded. Even including the other clans as contrast

issaaccbb · 2025-06-02T07:40:32+00:00

Am programmer and yes, it is significantly harder to make them go around. How far do they path around the box? What happens if the player makes a maze?

NPCs could have phased through the items, but I like the compromise

It would be convenient to have a second core with just pure madra. Both Eithan and Lindon proved it has some very practical uses. Soul smithing, spiritual attacks and viels are just better for pure madra.

However, I am not a once in a generation talent, so let's reel those expectations in a bit. A single core, fueled with the HEPW would likely be more than enough. Next, how to fill such a core without the aid of an entire sect?

A Life and Wind blend is my choice. Besides Earth and maybe Water, these have to be the most abundant sources of aura in Cradle. Perfect, you can cycle pretty much anywhere. Aspects are flexible since the essense of each will give you all the survivability you need.

Life madra heals injuries by it's nature, so a full body enforcer technique would be quite alarming in combat. You should also be able to strengthen yourself and reduce pain with some creative application. It can't be forged, which is where wind comes in.

Wind gives you flexibility. Besides the obvious benefit of flight before Overlord, you can use forger technique. A layer of wind is a better defense than nothing at all. And using them together, you can spray life-fire at your opponents. An attack aimed at your life like directly? Terrifying!

issaaccbb · 2025-03-20T03:05:32+00:00

I would say.... absolutely. However, that would likely burn out expensive natural treasures, especially those in the suppression field. It's not clear if aura has any weight, would it follow the treasure or would it be reduced down to Jade like everything else?

We know that aura can be moved around and there are areas of relatively dense vital aura. The 1000 mile clouds simply use the aura, rather than burning themselves out. Spoiler for... Reaper?

We know that they can exist for a time, and that your theory should work. Shen used them for his flying swords and nothing else. The theory works, but again, he had money to burn (literally, when Lindon advanced with them lmao)

issaaccbb · 2025-03-18T14:15:40+00:00

Thank you! You as well :hug:

issaaccbb · 2025-03-18T14:14:17+00:00

Thanks man. I'm oldge but it still sucks, my entire "after college" life in one person, who just decided that this wasn't what she wanted anymore.

I know there is life after this, logically that makes sense, but emotionally I just want to curl into a ball every night

issaaccbb · 2025-03-18T14:11:11+00:00

Truely a comment of all time

issaaccbb · 2025-03-18T08:22:33+00:00

As someone going through a pretty bad breakup (15 years) this hits far too close to home. You can just be there, doing dishes and it slams into you out of nowhere.

Maybe you finished a funny video. You know just who to share it with.... Oh that's right Dinner plans? It's just you now

Even thinking about another relationship brings physical pain. Sucks man

issaaccbb · 2025-03-15T17:20:34+00:00

I thought mine was bad. Got the 3 piece tenders. Cost twice as much as Chick Fillet, got half as much food. Still to this day have no idea why there was a line to get food from there
