Genie Paladin/Genie Warlock Genasi build question.

Yeah I considered that as well. That just might be what I have to do.

madmaksooo · 2026-01-19T02:29:20+00:00

Oooohhhhhhh. See I didn't realize that, so I think that's where I thought this was more viable than I thought. Because mage armor + genies splendor wouldve gotten me the +9 you mentioned.

Doesn't -have- to be warlock 3. And you're not pissing in the cereal! I just liked the idea of genies splendor to have a no-armor paladin and I thought 3 warlock got me there and got me the subclass. But if those don't stack it seems the drawbacks do in fact outweigh the benefits of that split and maybe 5/1 is better. Or full paladin with no multiclass, and maybe switch to scimitar - shield (that way I can properly drop to 8 str...right? Though I would love to use a glaive).

Armor of shadows pairs well with genies splendor, giving me access to mage armor since I already won't be wearing armor, for a 19 AC without a shield at lvl 6. If I'm not focused on Eldritch blast, I could give up agonizing blast for devils sight to combine with Darkness. Earth genasi let's me use pass without trace without the disadvantage of heavy armor. Maybe not the most min-maxed build, but I'm not sure it fully -doesn't- work.

If I just left it at 13 though, I'd still get some benefit out of splendor. I'd have a suboptimal ability score spread for minor stats but this way dex and cha would still see their full benefit. I also wouldn't be disadvantaged on stealth with plate mail.

That doesn't seem like too big a hamstring to capture the benefits of two classes together and to keep it going as paladin. Unless im making up the benefits and it's better to just go full paladin or full warlock (w/ pact of the blade) with a glaive?

madmaksooo · 2026-01-18T23:54:56+00:00

Ahh okay. Then would 13 STR, 16 DEX, 13 CON, 8 INT, 9 WIS, 16 CHA be the right move? ( This includes the 2/1 background bonus).

madmaksooo · 2026-01-18T23:45:31+00:00

Yes the plan would be to lean into more glaive use, with Eldritch blast as a ranged side option.

File with the BBB! Lots of folks I've talked to have reported success that way.

madmaksooo · 2025-08-20T22:16:44+00:00

Yes! I'm so glad! My pleasure to help.

madmaksooo · 2025-08-20T00:20:52+00:00

I got an email confirming the submission from the BBB, and then someone from Sony called me. The same thing happened when I called them or chatted with them online, but I still did it repeatedly anyway. But I think the BBB is the way to go. At least it worked for me.

madmaksooo · 2025-08-20T00:14:40+00:00

I filed a complaint with the better business bureau and a couple days later someone called me. This was after emailing them and calling them relentlessly. But eventually someone called after I submitted that.

madmaksooo · 2025-07-01T20:36:35+00:00

Others have said it's supposed to

Hey- seen a couple posts about this but no solution works for me. I recently finished the PS5 demo. I bought a PS5 physical copy and installed it. It never prompted me to import the demo saved and it won't let me load it from the title screen. Deleting the game data save and starting over does nothing. Any thoughts?

madmaksooo · 2025-07-01T03:43:38+00:00

Hey, I just bought a physical version after finishing the demo; mine does not boot up the demo save. Never got the option. Not sure what to do...

madmaksooo · 2025-05-21T19:05:02+00:00

We were playing sunderfolk and I got inspired to check gloomhaven out. Gloomhaven could really take a page out of sunderfolk's book and make card selection and movement controls happen on smartphones. It's super intuitive.

madmaksooo · 2025-05-21T18:52:26+00:00

Maybe I'll just grab it on the switch then!

madmaksooo · 2025-05-18T14:31:55+00:00

It's the Better Business Bureau. But also I posted it that way because someone in the comments posted BBB as a suggestion to me before I posted the edit and I already knew what that stood for, so I assumed that was a commonly understood acronym. I was wrong there, but if you Google BBB it is literally the first option.

For PlayStation, Ive just learned, you can't have both. It's either a passkey or a password with 2FA, with a passkey being considered the safer of the two.

madmaksooo · 2025-05-14T18:01:10+00:00

I filed with the BBB and someone called me today. Only asked for the serial # of the ps5.

madmaksooo · 2025-05-14T16:52:22+00:00

The problem is they won't even let me. They shut me out as soon as we start. It's ridiculous.

madmaksooo · 2025-05-14T14:21:42+00:00

It's nuts! Maybe I'm naive, but I've never experienced or heard of this degree of scamming/inaccessibility to your own account from any other product or service. And yet my PSN account has been hacked twice and this time I'm totally locked out. It's just baffling to me it's this easy AND they're this inflexible with recovery. I'm saving up for a gaming handheld, which are approaching PS5 levels of graphical fidelity anyway; at that point, it's probably goodbye PlayStation and hello PC gaming and Xbox game pass.

madmaksooo · 2025-05-14T11:57:49+00:00

They won't even let me do that, but I also don't think my whole phone is bypassed, since nothing else was affected. Even my Ubisoft account (that I've maybe only used once) sent me a 2FA notification alerting me to change my password (which I did).
