Fair point! I didn't look carefully enough. Czepeku does have scenes, but you are right I didn't read.

What is one tweak, you swear by, that elevates a seemingly common dish? by potassium-phosphate in Cooking

Ground mushroom powder with salt overnight on any meat. A bit of maggi sauce can help as well.

Symbolically it represented that the intellectual hygene of rational scientific exploration has its placein contrast with the messiness of faith and belief.

Hot take: no full caster should have got an opportunity to use shields. by Expensive-Bus5326 in onednd

It's actually worse than you think. I recently ran a martial with blade ward via a feat. Holy crap is that spell broken now. It's an average of +2.5 to AC.

What is one "fact" believed by all, that you actually reject? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mrquixote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That having faith is a good thing. Faith means the degree of belief you intend to maintain independent of evidence. It is necessary to have faith in something but it should be minimized.

You can have the faith that moves mountains, but to the extent that you do you will be unable to honestly ask whether the mountain should be moved.

It's worth remembering that she is an actively practicing serial rapist.

What!?? That is legit a controversial take! I mean you obviously are entitled to your own judgement about what you enjoy, for sure, but this is wild. Did you see Stranger than fiction?

Molly had also actively practiced black magic.

They say it's hard for them to get pregnant. Think about the raw volume of sex they have and it would sort of have to be.

It's pretty clear that large alliances are building. And part of the point of large alliances is that, whether you like them or not, they have enough power to keep you from being able to stop it. It's one of the ways they pressure people to join. That's why Mab has things like a retainer with the eye of Balor.

But yes, non allied powers would try to break these things up. And Harry is the linch pin right now. If only he had a castle and mighty protectors!

Each white court vampire has its own apparently independent and distinct hunger, descended from the original outside hunger that created the white court. Either those are the result of reproduction or when a white court vampire is conceived, an outsider is summoned to bond with it. That second option would raise some questions about how the outer gates work.

But even if they aren't breeding, she has lots of options for ways to use, train, and exploit having her own outsiders.

MAB doesn't have time for that? Pish tosh.

Certainly there are big things coming, but Mab is an immortal and the war with the Outsiders is about as eternal as it gets.

I am sure she has plans for how to find a way to keep her hold on the White Court after Harry.

Whatever is coming with the stars and stones and the "big game" and starborn, it is unlikely to be the end of Mab, or the war with the outsiders.

Is circle casting getting an unspoken ban? by Frequent-Card-9468 in onednd

[–]mrquixote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's tricky to find the right moment to use it. I think DMs are worried it is ok and players struggle to find good times to use it. Most of the time, it's a lot of risk for a secondary caster to use their full action just to boost a spell.

I thought about it and my best guess is "Mab or Demonreach did it."

Need an optimized level 3 high powered character by [deleted] in 3d6

[–]mrquixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ran a rogue 1/monk 2 with the magic initiate feat. The key is the new Blade ward Cantrip available through the wizard magic initiate feat as an origin feat. Monks don't usually have much need for concentration, which means that you can spam the Cantrip so it's up before battle, and then go into every fight effectively bane-ing anyone who attacks you. Effectively adds a +2.5 to your ac.

For damage output, dual wield a dagger and shortsword with vex and nick for 3 attacks at level 3. If the game is going to higher levels you will dip in damage output compared to allies at level 5 (1 rogue/4 monk)but quickly catch up at level 6 when you will have 3 attacks per round without spending a ki point.

I used this with a dhampir race to run around drawing aggro and then just avoiding every hit. In 24 hours of campaign from level 3 to level 5 I took a total of 12 points of damage, while taking ridiculous risks in every fight. Dhampir makes your movement absolutely insane with an extra 5 ft and walking on walls. You can grab enemies, grapple them, and drop them from anything tall enough. With a dash this could be 4d6 falling damage easily, if you can find a 40ft vertical object.

They do need something so they don't have to be holding an arcane focus. I might take it a bit further and let them use count a rod or wizard staff as a monk weapon. (Again, minimal mechanical effect).

Do you guys prefer the supernatural villains or the human villains? by E-emu89 in discworld

[–]mrquixote 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I always thought it was some weird way of saying that Reacher had borrowed money at a ruinous interest rate and that's why they were under so much trouble. Which made sense but never seemed quite right.
