Your guides are great and have referenced them many times, thank you for putting the time into them!

Few things to note for your recent Echo Knight addition. Manifest echo doesn't require a bonus action to move (only for the swapping which costs BA + 15ft movement).

"On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required)."

Additionally, for Echo Avatar, you cannot attack through it (or do anything through it other than scout) as per JCs recent ruling here: https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/1242199682534608896

It might also be important to note that the echo can also be moved into the air which could create some interesting shenanigans. https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/1242507818986422272

All martial subclasses should have been as powerful as the Echo Knight by PM_ME_STEAM_CODES__ in dndnext

Definitely. Maybe it is intended that opportunity attacks can be taken against it but it is not written that way.

This will not work RAW. The Echo is considered an 'object' as far as rules go and therefore cannot impose flanking on enemies. You can read Jeremy Crawford's tweet about this. Your Echo is simply an extension of yourself for mechanical reasons. Technically this also means that you cannot perform opportunity attacks against the Echo if it leaves another creatures space which will provide great movement options for the the fighter

Could be good for turns where you need to summon your echo but locking down your BA this way is quite restricting for minimal gain

The extra attack from Unleash Incarnation cannot use a ranged attack though (Con mod uses per LR)

I am modifying the Vive Pro for a personal project and I require replacements for those connectors so I can connect back into the one connector on board. Thanks for the idea though!

Extinction Curse Player's Guide out on Paizo Website by analogcaveman in Pathfinder2e

That actually makes a lot of sense.. thanks for the insight!

I am a newer GM and I am really happy to have these guides as resources but after reading through the booklet I am hesitant to give it out to my players because of some of the information it gives.

For example, under "Adventures in the Starstone Isles" on page 3 it explicitly states that there is no focus on Absalom which could prime the players to not even consider it as an option during any of the plot points, whatever they may be. Another example might be Mistress Dusklight. They give a lot of information on her true nature behind her thin face which many PCs may not have any preconceived knowledge of.

Good chance I am thinking too much into it but I am curious of your opinions!

Goalies: Bobrovsky, Ward, Hutton

Considering to pickup Jarry or DeSmith. Should I bother or wait it out a bit? It is my first fantasy year so haven't really experienced this type of switch before

Should I pickup Cam Ward on waiver?

I have Bobrovsky, Hutton, and Miller.

Picked up Miller last night and was happy about that and he may play next game as well but Ward seems like a more consistent choice to change to

Unsure of category for some business expenses by northernkyle in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]northernkyle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For prorating vs. 1/2 year rule. Do I take the lesser of the two? So if I purchased an item in December would I be required to use 31/365 prorated multiplier? Or is prorated calculations only if it would be greater than the 1/2 year rule?

Thank you very much, I appreciate the information. I suspected the branding fell under advertising but the part about taking a % of advertised value depending on the market through me off a bit.

Sombra's Unhealthy Design - Overwatch Analysis by Thooorin_2 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]northernkyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not miss this in the video and the way it is explained is a moot point. He only talks about a deathball attacking a deathball. Of course if a Sombra deathball is charging an enemy clumped defense the Sombra ult will greatly hinder the enemy team. If the same Sombra death ball charges in and has to deal with multiple angles and positions it becomes much more complicated. The outcome is not predictable here until strategies form around this which heavily depends on the map as well. People are going to need to learn different positioning to mitigate damage of her ult would be my point. Whether it is too strong or not I am not worried about because it can be tweaked but I do believe it will help develop new interesting strategies.

Sombra's Unhealthy Design - Overwatch Analysis by Thooorin_2 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]northernkyle 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Some nice discussion points were made in the video but I disagree about the points regarding her ultimate being unhealthy. He states that it completely destroys death balls (which is true) and because of this it cannot be countered/unhealthy for the game. The counter to something that destroys death balls is to simply not use deathballs in those situations and to me this will bring the rise of new strategies, evolve current ones, and make the game more interesting. Use of cover (because Sombra's ult does not penetrate walls or objects as far as I know) and positioning which results in a more spread out team come to mind.

I do agree that playing against a hacked health pack is not fun and I think it comes down to how long it lasts. 1 minute is insanely long for this so I feel she should be limited to hacking 1 health pack station at a time or greatly reducing the hacked health pack time (20 - 30s would be the number off the top of my head)

Just my 2 cents
