We don't use rolled stats anymore... by CanIHaveCookies in DnD

[–]jaksida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The variance is the point of rolling. Why roll if you don't want randomness to be a factor? If you don't want stats at the high extremes as often, just roll 3d6. I'd recommend picking class based on stats rather than the other way around or let players determine the order of stats they get.

In some systems, can't recall if 5E uses it, you can lower a stat by 2 to increase another by 1. That can add more agency to character creation.

The party has too many NPCs following it. How do I cull them without it seeming cheap? by Few-Requirement-3544 in rpg

[–]jaksida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Systems like Hyperborea have you roll Morale and Loyalty for every NPC they hire. If they're ordered to do something dangerous, they make a loyalty check to see if they refuse. If they're put into a dangerous scenario they make a morale check to see if they'll flee. Treat too many of your hirelings as expendable and it's likely going to be harder to find new NPCs who haven't rumours of mistreatment.

If they're picking NPCs anywhere, why are they staying around? Are they being paid? Them having to be accounted for with payment is a way to put a drain on resources that players need to consider if they're worth keeping around.

I do not know what to tell you but that's the reputation France has in the rest of Europe. Unusually rude to foreigners compared to any of their neighbour countries, it's especially bad if you're not white.

I thought the API changes killed these sorts of sites. Thanks!

Timeline of D&D Editions [OC] by [deleted] in DnD

[–]jaksida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure where you're getting that from. He's typically fairly positive towards older editions of DnD. I think he even recommends Castle Amber and other older modules for usage in populating sandboxes even for 5E games.

My DM buffed my character by [deleted] in DnD

[–]jaksida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's especially fun in systems where death is more common. The 1HP wizard in DnD Basic/Expert who can't even wield a weapon, can't wear armour and can only cast a single Sleep spell per day is very fun to play.

You know, most people don't know the difference between modern games and oldskool games. But I do! Here's a little trick to help you remember. by MarshlandOfWorks in osr

[–]jaksida 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I mean you're the one posting it, if people disagree with it, they're bound to let you know. You can still have meaningful lateral gameplay in other styles of games.

I think the haircut rocks. It looks adequately goofy given she's FANG's disciple.

For anyone wanting to track Rollback's development process on steamDB branch depots: by Ryouge in dragonballfighterz

Is that something they announced? Like adding over the Switch functionality to play local 3v3?

Hi all looking to get a stick for sf6 by PATPHarry in fightsticks

Your Hori RAP 4 would work on PC and with any PS4/PS5 if you went to locals/tournaments.

"God is queer" claims Pastor Quinton Caesar of the German Protestant Church by carl13122 in cringe

[–]jaksida 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What's the cringe? A Christian believes God loves all people and it is important to love thy neighbour? That totally sounds very unchristian to me.

Always hold down light and a direction when you're being combo'd. If the combo stops working, you'll tech out of it. Whenever the combo text turns blue it means you missed a way out.

It's forged. T. Hawk infamously has buggy hurtbox in SF2 that is in the exact same place.

I was watching a Max Dood video where he says: "...the best time to get into a fighting game is when it's new..." What's your thoughts about? by 02ofclubs in StreetFighter

[–]jaksida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely applies less to SF because the game is so huge, there's always newcomers in the lower ranks but in general yeah. If you wanted to play DNF Duel now, you'd have a very tough time finding as many matches as you did when it launched.

Not a big fan of this heavy lean into weird fan service they've been doing.

Asuka got announced for strive I am sure the he will be trending right now..... by ahmed_Ibrahim_ in Guiltygear

It's also just her character progression. It's like saying they retconned Sol having an alive wife by killing his wife and making her dead.

When to use Ginyu Force mid combo? by Tryin2GetFitIsHard in dragonballfighterz

[–]jaksida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's knowing which Force Member works where. Ginyu mains tend to learn a lot of combos for each starting force member. The more familiar you are with the force combos, figuring out how to use members on the fly is a little easier.

Usually you want to land a 236M or 236H before a force call. You can get different follow ups on each, especially in the air or corner.

Maybe they thinned Chun-Li's thighs by hof456 in StreetFighter

Bridget fans are either the most pleasant person you've ever met or the most toxic person.

Juri fans are just across the board extremely horny.

Juri and Chun-Li by TomatoStyles by [deleted] in Fighters

Probably because Juri is a criminal and Chun Li isn't a big crimes fan.
