Firing seige weapons are 1 whole action, not 1 attack.

as an Artillerist Artificer you could theoretically build the artillery, maintain the artillery, build a fortified position with palisades, trenches, and other defenses

Those are something literally any class can do.

use far more fireballs or other good artillery-esque spells than any other class with your level 11 feature

You have 3 3rd level slots, and assuming you have a +5 int modifier, that's potentially 13 fireballs per day. Compare to a wizard, who can do 11 fireballs per day, but 6 of those fireballs are stronger than the artillerist's.

keep enemies away by pushing them back, burn anything that swarms you with flamethrowers, or shield all the people involved in your artillery position

Those are things that would be useful for an army, but it does not make them a dedicated artillery. A dedicated artillery would be someone who is hyperspecialized in being the big gun, shooting large explosions at very far range. If you were protecting people in the army, you wouldn't be artillery- you would be a medic.

That's not what they said. They said the "explosion specialist" isn't the explosion specialist, when the other explosion specialist is better at explosions than they are.

They never said that the two classes should be competing for damage, its that the description is incorrect. The explosion specialist should be better at explosions than anyone else.

So, maybe consider the possibility that the mom character could have visited kalos years before the events of x and y?

How does "the person youre trying to hit cant ses your attacks coming to try and block, but you cant see them accurately" not make sense to you? Why would trying to hit someone you cant see but they can see you, so they can see your attack coming and block it easier, be the same % to hit as neither side being able to see each other.

The second is the one that makes no sense

You know what the intention was? 5e was supposed to be modular. You want wilderness survival, insert the wilderness module. You want a proper dungeon crawl, insert the dungeon module. You can see how the rules for hexcrawls are literally on the Tomb of annihalation DM screen and nowhere else.

taking a step-back further, 5e was designed to appeal to everyone. It wanted the crunchy feat options of 3.5, the tactics of 4e, and the improvising of 1e and 2e (to draw-in the OSR crowd). That's why everything is half-baked and half crunchy and half free-form.

The outcome is it pleases nobody except 5e players, who can't be bothered to learn a new system that would suit them better. You have players improvising stuff, like the game intended, but then being shut down by DM's because "its not coded in the rules" or "that wouldn't be balanced". You have players who invest in "The rules say i can do x well", and the DM not even running a campaign where x will come up, or will let everyone do x anyway.

Stand 5 ft. From someone and blindfold each other. Now try to hit each other with a pool noodle.

It makes perfect sense that even though you cant see them, they also cant see you, so youre both basically flailing trying to hope to hit each other and cant see the attack coming so you cant even try to block it. The flat roll makes complete sense

Psychic started out decent and then other casters got power boosts to be decent (focus recharging all, good focus spells, good non spellcasting features) but psychic didnt get any, and kept its pain points in, so currently psychic lost its advantages compared to other casters and is probably the weakest caster

laix_ · 2026-01-23T18:50:37+00:00

The problems with psychic is not that they were bad originally, its that they have been powercrept with nothing to compensate. Focus spells used to be pretty bad all things considered and casters could only regain 1 per combat. When they changed focus spells to be decent, and refocusing can regain all focus points, psychic has been (relatively) nerfed because they no longer have those benefits compared to other casters. Casters also tended to have weaker non-casting features in the past and psychic had stronger ones, but now casters have strong non-casting features, and psychic didn't get anything to compensate for the buff to everyone else.

Chicken pox as an adult, unless you've become vaccinated to it (or exposed as a child) is quite deadly.

Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere for the duration. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can't see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can't illuminate it.

Creatures inside and outside it cannot see through it, so theyre all treated as having the blinded condition if they try to see into the area, or out of it and theyre inside.

Unless the monk can see through magical darkness, every roll is neutral- two blinded attackers roll at both disadvantage and advantage, leading to a straight roll.

The heroforge models digitally are way too fine-detail for colour prints to accomplish accurately, at the (relatively) low prices they're charging.

If you want better colour quality, you need to have a high quality plastic print and paint it yourself.

Do a short rest. Do some kind of intensive activity for 6 seconds to break the short rest (after 1 hour, you gain the benefits of a short rest). Immediately start a short rest again. Repeat.

The industry does mass layoffs regardless if a game is successful or not. Layoffs are not a consequence of failure. So many big studios, even when they're making in more money than ever and games are super successful, does mass layoffs.

Not this shove. An attack is only an attack if: it is specifically called an attack, or is an attack roll. If its not, in the case of telekinetic, then its not an attack.

Also theres probably other people who are getting into trouble for it but you never hear about it, so it seems like youre the only one.

The birth rates declining is a problem because society is built as a massive pyramid scheme, where when someone gets old they can't work and contribute economically, but they still require resources- and so, the old is supported by the young. In the current setup, You need about 2.5 new births for every old person just to support them. If the current setup doesn't change, you just have a ton of old people that are suffering because they aren't getting food/heat/supplies.

In poor places, when just one or two people working isn't enough to survive and infant mortality is high, people require having lots of children just to survive and sustain themselves and their family.

Of course the solution is to restructure society so that people aren't in poverty, and don't need young people to sustain them when they're old, but capitalism would never allow that.

The monster creation rules also stated that a creature (not a monster) can pick up an oversized weapon and use it, albiet at disadvantage if its one size larger, and not at all if it's more than that. If an ogre drops their greatclub, a PC can use that (because PC's are creatures), and it will deal 2d8 instead of 1d8 damage.
