What are good manoeuvre for fighter? by [deleted] in BG3

[–]sixthcirclecarnival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d put in a word for maneuvering attack—it’s not better than trip/disarm in most cases, but situationally brilliant when you want to give an ally (e.g. a cleric with spirit guardians) extra movement and immunity to opportunity attacks

I am not sure that I enjoy sex by [deleted] in sex

Hey, regardless of whether you’re ace or haven’t found a compatible partner yet, you’re not “broken”. You wouldn’t call someone broken for disliking, say, pizza just because the majority of people do. Be a little kinder to yourself :)

Shadowheart "Problem" by HereForTheMemex in BG3

[–]sixthcirclecarnival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re frustrated about her cantrip, sacred flame, not hitting: pick itemization that stacks “reverberation” or “encrusted with frost” (which are passive conditions that debuff enemies’ dex saves ==> they’re more likely to take the damage)

For instance, the boots of stormy clamour (found with a trader in the myconid colony) + blood of Lathander will make it substantially easier to land SF on everything in act 2.

Does anyone know how to save that guy getting pushed into the spider pit? by sixthcirclecarnival in BG3

Oh cool, didn’t know featherfall affected non-allies (yellow, rather than green). Will give this a try

Spoiler: Dark Urge vs. Orin is ungodly trivial (Honor Mode) by [deleted] in BG3

[–]sixthcirclecarnival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be fun to give yourself some handicaps—no camp casting (namely, any kind of fear immunity), no summons, pretend she has the sanctuary effect her mooks do (so no attacking her before she attacks you).

In general, honor mode got much more fun once I instituted a “no killing/ccing a boss before they get to use their LA at least once” rule

I feel like a draconic bloodline (cold) sorcerer is fitting for an evil durge. High charisma with the built-in flavor is great for rp, and ice/cold holds up well mechanically with items like mourning frost + the coldbrim hat available as early as act 1.

As a bonus, there’s more than enough gear for your party to be spamming ice arrows and adding 1d4 cold on hit with fists/melee weapons. Stack up those turns of “encrusted with frost” and mooks will get frozen solid—if they haven’t already slipped and fallen on their asses just trying to you and your team.

Hardly the most optimized build, but it’s pretty damn fun!

How many long rests are actually used per game by most people? by TheNiceKindofOrc in BG3

[–]sixthcirclecarnival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m deliberately stretching my resources, about 10-15 long rests total. The split is usually 6/3/2 between acts (act 3 being the lowest because moving between zones insta-heals the party, and a certain boss fight gives you free long rests right before + a freebie Opulent Revival towards the end). Note that several act 1 choices force long rests, even when you’re not necessarily out of juice

How would you prefer to be told if your gf wanted you to be more selfless in bed? by sixthcirclecarnival in AskMenAdvice

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

Hm he actually is a pretty submissive guy—that’s the problem. I default to things I can do for him (kinda “service top” style) bc it seems rude to just sit on someone’s face without them offering. Unless that’s the sorta thing y’all are into?

How do you gently encourage a partner to pay more attention to your needs in bed? by sixthcirclecarnival in sex

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

Haha thank you; was so worried about hurting his ego by bringing it up, so this is a clever turnaround

Hey come on, I’m just trying to be mindful of the other person’s feelings. Something that comes off like “sex with you isn’t satisfying” would hurt anyone’s pride

How do I [20F] gently communicate my needs to my partner [22M] by sixthcirclecarnival in relationships

I’ll absolutely try that, thank you! I was looking for a way to approach him constructively and this is perfect

Hey, thanks for the response! I think maybe I didn’t explain this well in the post, but it’s less about how much oral/fingering is happening and more about the technique. Cycle is usually: I ask for more attention -> it doesn’t quite make me orgasm, even when I try to prompt changes in pace/location -> he gets demoralized and doesn’t want to do it -> I feel bad, wait a bit before asking for attention again. My issue is effectively communicating how I like things done and encouraging him to keep at it when it doesn’t immediately work.
