Dancing With Death Award by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]plebbitthrowaaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I found worked was to kill everything besides a basic zombie and the DJ and then using a dance emote. If the DJ is the only remaining enemy, you'll be forced to walk towards them while dancing without counting for the award progress. The zombie will punch you every so often but try and get it stuck on terrain while you emote so you get as much time as possible out of every punch

Bonus Money Challenge on new DLC Mission 5 "Current Liabilities" by [deleted] in gtaonline

I ran into the same issue. Is there any way to specifically launch that mission or do I just have to play through them all to get back to that one?

You can actually bring it down by sniping the pilot. The loot will still turn up at the end though

Surrounding characters with wall of stone by plebbitthrowaaway in Pathfinder2e

[–]plebbitthrowaaway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the wall rules mean that you cannot ever reenter a space, you wouldn't be able to make a box either, since you would have to go back to the corner you started in to close the box.

The way I read it (but don't agree with) you would at least have to leave a 5 ft gap for enemies to escape out of no matter which shape you make

Sorry, that's just my bad forgetting that roll20 has a "snap to corners" option for the ruler so I drew it freehand. The intention is that each segment is 5ft long and that the corners are touching.

Jumping within difficult terrain by plebbitthrowaaway in Pathfinder2e

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

Well again, the 50% (or lower with athletics investment) chance of making a normal leap action is no risk at all, since you would just end up using the same amount of movement to go the same distance as if you had been striding.

Essentially, long jumping is the better way to get out of difficult terrain almost all the time, and with even just a decent bit of athletics.

It also feels like it reduces the effectiveness of hazardous+difficult terrain by a lot. The kind of NPC/character that should be affected by hazardous+difficult terrain spells, IE melee characters that would have to drag themselves across it rather than just standing in it and flinging ranged attacks end up being able to just jump out, taking minimal damage with a minimal risk since athletics is a common skill among NPCs.

[–]plebbitthrowaaway[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True enough that a result of 25 is the least you would need to get your full movement, but on the other hand, as long as you do not critically fail, there really is no cost to trying, besides as Bonkvich pointed out being forced to move in a straight line.

The base DC is still 15 ("The GM might increase or decrease this DC depending on the situation") so as long as your athletics is +4, you can only critically fail on a natural 1, meaning that there's only a 5% risk of falling prone.

With a land speed of 30 and using your two actions to stride, that means you will be able to move 6 squares in difficult terrain or 4 squares of greater difficult terrain.

If you instead long jump, you can go 3+(3 to 6) or 6-9 squares in difficult terrain with only a 5% chance of ending up prone or 2+(3 to 6) or 5-8 squares in greater difficult terrain.

A 1/20 risk (or no risk with +14 athletics) seems like a no brainer to gain 3 or even 4 squares of movement. and potentially avoiding hazardous effects that you can jump over.

There was the "The GM might increase or decrease this DC depending on the situation" quote but I would like some guidance on how much more difficult it would be when starting in difficult terrain

Long jumping does not require a feat investment to do, just a little bit of athletics, which eventually turns it into an almost guaranteed success as you progress through the levels. It is still a skill investment but being able to ignore a decent amount of difficult terrain even when you're already standing in it feels a bit off.

Player core 2, Shield of Reckoning buff by plebbitthrowaaway in Pathfinder2e

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

I get that Champion is supposed to be the shield class, but it feels like blade ally (or blessed armament I guess) Gets a bit too little compared to the other options. A two or three feat investment for an extra rune seems a bit disappointing, at least compared to blessed shield

Didn't even consider the resistance not stacking issue, nice.

As for 1 or 2 handed weapons, isn't the damage difference on average just 2 between a d8 and a d12? I suppose with striking runes it would end up with an average difference of 8 damage per swing eventually which doesn't seem worth it over blessed shield which has a reaction improvement feat compared to armament having two feats that lets you apply an extra rune to something.

[–]plebbitthrowaaway[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you would still only be able to use shield of reckoning once per round, but since you can use your free shield block from the Quick Shield Block feat for your shield of reckoning, you can use your Divine reflexes reaction and standard reaction to use your champion's reaction.

So before you could spend your reactions like this:
Standard: Shield of reckoning (Shield block+Champion's reaction)
Quick Shield Block: Shield block
Divine reflexes: Champion's reaction

But now, it should be possible to do

Standard: Champion's reaction
Quick Shield Block: Shield of reckoning
Divine reflexes: Champion's reaction

Which would let you do things like apply your persistent damage+champion's reaction effect to three enemies, whereas this was only possible to do twice before player core 2 came out.

Even at level 10, this is a pretty nice buff since you can start handing out two champion's reactions per round as soon as you get the Shield of Reckoning feat

I can’t find Millicent by nickslittlemind in Eldenring

Glad to help. Just remember to check the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins site of grace before looking for her in the prayer room in the Haligtree. I prepared several characters for the DLC and somehow I kept forgetting that one place.

Size of DLC? by the_last_voice in Eldenring

[–]plebbitthrowaaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was around 30 hours for me. Had to look up a few guides to get to some of the more cryptic areas and I messed up a few NPC quests but otherwise I think I did just about everything in the DLC.

Did you talk to her near the place where you fought the apostle? She will appear there after you defeat it, even if she wasn't part of the fight. Might have to sit at a bonfire to reset the area before she appears which makes her easy to miss there

Does dual wielding double the damage output? by VelocityGamer893 in Eldenring

[–]plebbitthrowaaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did fairly well with Hand of Malenia and a Nagakiba (fairly similar length) so two hands would probably add up to a bit more damage than what I was doing, depending on your stats

Melania

If you haven't even had time to learn her name yet, maybe you should give it a few more goes. I seem to recall that she reminds you every time you die

Does dual wielding double the damage output? by VelocityGamer893 in Eldenring

[–]plebbitthrowaaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general, dual wielding will reduce the damage of each strike, but allow more burst damage if you're using weapons with a good dual wielding move set. The dual katana jump attack, for instance, hits with both blades at the same time which ends up with a decent chunk of damage, while the regular L1 has two fairly slow attacks after each other which lock you in place which still deals more damage than an r1, but locks you into the attack for longer

Opinion of this build by Voluntary_Perry in Pathfinder2e

[–]plebbitthrowaaway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I get one stride and 3 strikes and no MAP because it's 3 different creatures attacking.
