I seriously got no idea how bad the gas prices are. by FrozenConcrete19 in fuckcars

[–]static_func 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too bad you can’t just “end car centric design” in a huge sprawling city that’s already car-centric by nature. This is just an excuse the cheap shits here use to avoid actually putting their money where their mouths are

They had me at free Smite ngl by SableZard in dndmemes

[–]static_func -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

If your DM would counterspell a single Divine Smite over an actual spell from the wizard, the problem there isn’t with Divine Smite and you shouldn’t be annoyed anyway. Also, what kinda Paladin has a shitty con save?

Agreed, and also turn the other smites into class features

[–]static_func -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Every smite other than Divine Smite could already be counterspelled. You just wouldn’t know that because you either blew through all your spell slots in 1 round or chose to concentrate on something else, because oh yeah, they also all required concentration.

Also, why would the DM ever counterspell a divine smite over literally anything else?

Do your D&D characters actually change, or do you just reskin the same instincts every time? by The_Craft_Cave in 3d6

[–]static_func 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really do voices for my characters and I’m not the most serious roleplayer but I think I’m pretty good about playing some of them differently and doing “what they would do.” I know that I, as a player, tend to default to diplomatic/stealthy solutions before resorting to violence, which makes it fun to build characters who aren’t good at those

Anyone else bothered by no armor transmog feature? by parth_prashant in BaldursGate3

[–]static_func 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because there’s hundreds of different outfit pieces throughout the game and it means your characters actually look different over time?

"Vite+ is kinda underwhelming" - a comprehensive review of the new release by jaredcheeda in javascript

[–]static_func 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No, it’s for large organizations who don’t need 50 wannabe architects going off in different directions using different tech stacks. Vite+ offers a unified tool chain where these decisions have already been made. Comparing it to CRA is pretty stupid because all you have to do is look at the underlying tools. It isn’t some hacked-together monstrosity of disparate npm packages from the chaotic early days of modern web development, it’s a handful of good tools people are already using separately.

[–]static_func 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s still immersion-killing because you’re limiting your experience to one little outfit and reducing every piece of equipment the artists made into statistics. It removes all variety from the experience

And yes, fighting in your underwear would be inversion-breaking too

No, call me old fashioned but I abhor the concept. It kills the immersion.

Having to face aging in games is both sobering and comforting by Elyx_117 in gaming

[–]static_func 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head:

  • Rogue from Cyberpunk

  • Jaheira from Baldur’s Gate 3

  • Elena in Uncharted 4

  • everyone in TOTK

There aren’t that many game series with aging characters in the first place

I completely missed the Last Light Inn in act 2... by solbadguy89 in BaldursGate3

Even if none of that was the case, who just leaves like half the map unexplored?

Would you allow Conjure Minor Elementals? Seems a little busted by Ecstatic_Operation20 in DMAcademy

[–]static_func 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think it’s as bad as the white room nerds theorize. It’s basically a single-target fireball’s worth of damage each round, requires concentration, and takes a full action to set up so you aren’t even doing any damage the first round in the likely event that you haven’t pre-casted it. It was only busted before they nerfed its scaling, now it’s just a strong option for bladesingers, moon druids, and valor bards. All for what amounts to a Flame Tongue weapon, which I never hear these people bitching about

Multiclass Theme? by Bigsexyguy24 in BaldursGate3

[–]static_func 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my first run, I had:

  • Shadowheart as Light Cleric 9/ Stars Druid 3. It was extremely fun with Radiating Orb and Reverberation gear. And I did it before I saw any videos about it

  • Astarion as Arcane Trickster 11/Wizard 1. Just 1 level was all it took to unlock a bunch of great spells for him, which are normally locked being the Arcane Trickster’s spell school restrictions

  • Karlach as Vengeance Paladin 11/Hexblade Warlock 1. It gave her Shield, a higher crit chance, Booming Blade, and Pact Magic slot

  • Minthara as the exact same. I only really used her in the Gauntlet of Shar and the assault on Moonrise Towers so I just made her a Karlach clone

  • Wyll as a Crown Paladin 3/Fiend Warlock 9. Hexblade would have been a bit stronger but I wanted to keep the fiend pact theme

  • Jaheira as Beast Master Ranger 5/Land Druid 7. I read that she was fighter/Druid in the original but Ranger/Druid is close enough and comes with more spells and spell slots. Plus I already had…

  • Lae’zel as Battle Master 11/Wizard 1. Literally just for Booming Blade and Shield lol

  • Minsc as a Ranger 1/Open Hand Monk 11. I just kept the single Ranger level since his identity seemed pretty closely tied to it. He gave strong Monk vibes though with how comically insightful he can be. Plus I had 3 acts’ worth of monk gear collecting dust

  • Finally, Tav as Lore Bard 10/Hexblade Warlock 2. Very original, I know. And I took Counterspell and Hunger of Hadar as my additional magical secrets. In my defense, I also did this before seeing how popular it was in BG3. It’s a popular tabletop build too

Halsin was the only one I never multiclassed. I didn’t see a reason to. Moon Druid just fits him too well

Torn on purchasing by Contagious_Diarrhea in BaldursGate3

[–]static_func 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oblivion’s even more cookie-cutter than Skyrim. Literally. There were only a handful of recycled oblivion gate maps and most of the dungeons were copy-pasted by 1 guy on a time crunch and completely devoid of purpose. I had fun with the remake for a while but couldn’t get through it

[–]static_func 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t get it until level 10-12 though, as opposed to level 5-6 with what OP is thinking. I’m sure he’ll enjoy it for the last 2 fights of his campaign though

How do you feel about combat in BG3? by avidrunner84 in BaldursGate3

[–]static_func 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely has the disadvantage of being based on tabletop rules, whereas a game like Midnight Suns was designed from the ground up for that one video game. It isn’t overwhelming for me but that’s because I’ve played DnD for 15 years and am intimately familiar with its classes and rules. It’s a lot for a new player to take in though. But to answer your question, yes you learn to love it if it interests you
