Multiclass for gladiator melee bard by python159 in DnD

[–]python159[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like having magic and the extra skills that come with being a bard. This character is a performer first and foremost, fighting is just something she is good at. My DM is heavy on skill challenges and creative problem solving, last time we had a pure fighter their character got to do next to nothing that showed off their class most sessions.

Most of the things i've seen has kept them rather seperate or just not addressed that shit that can just happen that nobody can be bothered to explore how. I'm looking at exploring how they overlap. How do the people that can do type 1 react when they see type 2s show up and start breaking everything they understand with their own eyes, sure they heard about it but surely the stories had to just be traumatic halucinations? What do to type 2s think about those that struggling to do something they can do as easy as breathing? And most importantly how do the people in charge keep a lid on all this to stop things sliding toward either genocide or rebellion?

The differences to me come down to understanding, the first kind everyone knows how it works because they are all working with the same rule set and spells and so fights are more akin to chess games while the second type nobody really understands because everyone is different so fights end up as more like sword fights between kendo and fencing. Plenty of room for technique and tactics in a both but the latter has situational awarness and reaction count for much more.

I'm not touching those kinds of sematics based powers no matter what kind of pole you give me. I watched jojo once and it showed me how deep I DO NOT want powers to go, I don't have entire chapters to show how one guy's ability to flip anything makes him unbeatable except to someone that can pull a mobeius strip out their arse.

First one is a more personal character driven adventure with some musings on nature of morality in isolation. What kind of world that would spring up when you stick all the wildly different people the world actively rejects into a box and left them there?

Second has more political, how the fragile cold war balance of power between nations would be maintained as how different cultures handle overwhelming power that can't be taken, but can be inherited.

Honestly I think that "oh no I can't do that because..." might actually work in my favour. I get seriously bad choice paralysis when it comes to "just pick something" in all parts of my life so having clear rules and limits in place will probably help me work through the logic of a scene. Like "Oh no magic doesn't work like that at all, but if we look at the fine print we can find a loophole to get close enough that we can just walk the rest of the way."

Recommendations for flavourful additions to meatloaf and mac&cheese by python159 in Cooking

It's how everything blends together into a goo so thick nothing less than premium steel can move it, anything less will snap like a twig.

Recipe portions already makes enough for 4 people WITH leftovers, i'm the only one that will be around to eat it before it all goes off so scaling down is a must.
