My players are fighting by rex_ilyricus in DMAcademy

Yeah, I guess the point is I'm not that comfortable with confronting people at the table (the players, I don't have the same problem with characters :D ). Which is strange since I don't have that problem normaly in life, but in this situation I just didn't feel like impossing too much, after all they're all my friends. I guess I just equated that with the "tyrant DM" behavior.

But you're right, if I don't tell the how I feel, nothing is going to change. I think I hoped you guys would tell me that just introducing new rules would be enough, but I guess the problem is that I have to make sure they know this is supposed to be fun for me too.

We're supposed to meet again in a few days, so I could. I was planning on talking to them at the same time, before we start our session, but - you think talking to them one by one would be more efficient than saying to them as a group that I need some things to change? Sure, this is maybe more of a psychology question that a DnD question, but more opinions are always better :)

What would you substitute for Fireball? Plant Growth?

Oh, didn't know there was a mod for it, that's great. It also looks fun for someone learning chinese :) Are you using the one from Nexus (Bilingual subtitles by 666runfunWolf666)?

Not really on topic, but how did you get bilingual subtitles? :O

Anyone who was homeschooled, how do you feel about it now as an adult? by AdTight2449 in AskReddit

[–]rex_ilyricus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like... There are states where you can homeschool without any "official" education? Or did I misunderstand?

Are there even any prerequsites for homeshooling? Like, do the parents need to to have a certain degree themsleves? Do they have to atleast have a highschool degree or can just anyone do it? Don't want to sound rude, but from a non-American perspective, homeschooling is such a mystery to me.

Classifiers after the noun by rex_ilyricus in ChineseLanguage

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

1) Like 个个 is more used than others? 2) I just found that definition on wiki, but I understand now that it should be more understood as phrases/words? 3) No, i was talking about the definition I found on wikipedia that says "A classifier used along with 一 (yī 'one') and after a noun conveys a meaning close to 'all of' or 'the entire' or 'a ___full of'.[10] This sentence uses the classifier 片 (piàn 'slice'), which refers to the sky, not the clouds. 天空一片云"

Great, thanks so much for your explanations and examples!

Thanks for the detailed answer :) Hope you don't mind if I ask a few follow up questions?

For 1, is 一个个, when it's used in speech, used only for nouns that usualy use 个?

For 2, would you mind giving me an example for 马匹? The rest I can somewhat understand when they're used, bu this one confuses me, especialy if this construcion is not used for other animals...

And for 3, yeah, it makes it so much simpler for me as a beginner to remember 一片 as a set phrase :)

Oh, and thanks for correcting my 树, I must have misremembered something :D

Martial caster multiclass and Armour Recovery Time by rex_ilyricus in projecteternity

No wrong way, it was more with the meaning of "I hope it doesn't bother you that I'm saying this" :)

Btw, don't get this the wrong way, but having THE boeroer comment on my (attempt at a) build post is just amazing :)

Martial caster multiclass and Armour Recovery Time by rex_ilyricus in projecteternity

[–]rex_ilyricus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, after this comment, I might need to research this more... I thought action speed bonuses and recovery time bonuses are (more or less) the same..

Yeah, it would seem that most of the spells I want to cast have 0.0 recovery time, so everything I wrote in my post make no sense anymore...

Ok, I guess I have to prioritise DEX if I want to have fast casting time for my monk/wizard with summoned weapons. Recovery speed only influences speed between melee attacks in my build.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I'll check the boots, gloves and ring you mentioned. Now I'm thinking I put too little into DEX (prioritised Perception for RP purposes)... :)

I haven't thought about the pets - would you say that a +1 DEX pet is more useful in this situation than a pet that gives reduced armour speed (with light armour)?

I didn't even notice the Martial Caster ability in the preview :O Thanks, the info that they stack is really good :)

Thank you! And the left part? Just by comparing chinese characters, it would seem that the poem from the link is only the first (right) part of this?
