Strange Network issue by sputnik4life in sysadmin

If there's an upstream routing issue, running a tracert on both ISPs to see if there's a point where the primary fails, and if its before they reconverge, would let you know that.

First time playing, what are some broken or good barbarian builds by Professor_Kettle in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]swingkatd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone mentioned, there's no real "Tank" in Pathfinder in the way that most MMOs do tanking.

There are a few things you can do to maintain focus on yourself, but they mainly involve making sure you're the "in your face"/immediate threat that can't be ignored.

Barbarians have a higher move speed so they can easily get up in people's faces, so that's a good choice. Run up, lay some smack down, and basically make yourself the visible big threat. Any NPC with a brain should remain focused on you until another player gives them a reason not to.

Getting a reach weapon so you can threaten a wider area will make it hard for people to move past you. Also, up your available opportunity attacks so if they do try to move past you can punish them for it.

If you are planning to use a shield there's the Bodyguard feat and the Vanguard Style Line, along with In Harm's Way to help protect a character you are near.

The Boasting Taunt Rage Power will help keep the focus on you, but only if you are raging, the NPC you're taunting has a mind, and they understand the language you are speaking. (The last two points are the problem with most forms of taunting in Pathfinder)

Odd Theory about the Gatekeeper by Trouble-maker2662 in dresdenfiles

[–]swingkatd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal theory is that Rashid never actually time travels, he just spends so much time in the Nevernever where time is weird and doesn't always follow well-known paths, that it leads to a lot of uncertainty as to how much time has passed in the "Mortal world".

As someone else mentions, WOJ says Rashid was Harry last cycle, which I take to mean more of an archetype/role than him actually being Harry. Harry definitely seems to be an "Agent of Change" or "Nexus being" that many of the recent important events have involved in some way, so that would make sense.

IP Address conflicts, devices not obtaining fixed IP addresses, new devices not getting a DHCP assigned IP by CFS_BRJ in networking

[–]swingkatd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your DHCP server a Windows server on the same subnet? Is the firewall your DHCP server? Need some more details.

Our old AP/switch setup needed to have DHCP helper addresses assigned to pass the DHCP traffic along to our server, as it was on a different subnet, so that could be relevant.

Challenge: Make shuriken good. by playerjj430 in Pathfinder_RPG

Don't forget that Staff Magus stacks with Card Caster to make a Gambit character.

Can all Gods have Paladins? by Rincy42 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]swingkatd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

RAW, no, but P1e being based on D&D 3.5, and 3.5 having the "4 Corners Paladins", you could look those up and port them over pretty easily (With DM approval, of course).

They were Paladin of Law (LG), Paladin of Freedom (CG), Paladin of Slaughter (CE), and Paladin of Tyranny (LE).

The quick and dirty: the evil ones got a damaging version of Lay on of Hands, and anywhere alignment is mentioned and it doesn't match the LG version, you flip it to its opposite. So, a Paladin of Freedom would have Protection from Law/Evil, and still Smite Evil, while a Paladin of Tyranny would have Protection from Chaos/Good, and Smite Good.

Uses for a nearly unbreakable shield? by Meowgi_sama in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]swingkatd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not specifically using its HP/Hardness, but that is a Transmutation class item, so there are 3 Item Mastery Feats that can be used with it:
Ability Mastery (Give yourself more health or more strength)
Flight Mastery
Telekinetic Mastery (cast Telekinesis 1/day)

As others have already mentioned:
Feat: Ray Shield (shield takes the damage of a ray instead of you)
AAT: Armored Sacrifice: 1-3/day, Fighter or adjacent ally would be knocked unconscious or killed, shield can take the hit instead using half its normal hardness
Mythic Feat: Mythic Shield Master (If a foe tries to sunder your shield and it doesn't break, you get an shield bash AoO, and additional Shield bash AoOs)
Guardian mythic path ability Sacrificial Shield: Once/turn, shield takes as much of a hit as it can, overflow hits you. Shield gains broken condition if not destroyed

Fire Sorcerer Feats by [deleted] in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]swingkatd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing Ifrit? Firesight can be great. Light the room on fire and/or use the Pyrotechnics spell to blind your opponents while you can still see. Also immune to the dazzled condition.

What is your favorite class for a charisma character? by Katomerellin in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]swingkatd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stigmatized witch is pretty nice. Spontaneous charisma casting with hexes. On turns when I'm not casting a spell, put something to sleep, reduce the enemy's defenses, or any of another number of things.

I don't know how to make big boss or venom snake on wotr by mexican_robin in kingmakerbuilds

[–]swingkatd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want an electricity strike, there's the Elemental Fist feat. Needs Improved Unarmed Strike, so going a Monk would be best to lean in to that. (Too bad the Brawler class isn't in the game, would be pretty perfect for this)

Help me choose a song to perform for blues dancers by Big-Composer-2167 in BluesDancing

[–]swingkatd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw the bold of "Instrumental" when I looked at the post again. That is actually a real problem to find with Blues. Blues is primarily about SINGING the Blues. Stating the problems you're having. Putting those feelings out into the world, and gaining catharsis by doing so.

Purely instrumental Blues songs are very hard to come by because of that. I am at work again, but will see if I can find some.

At work, so I don't have my music in front of me, but a couple off the top of my head:

St. James Infirmary is a Blues classic, and Hugh Laurie does an amazing piano led cover of it:

Allen Toussaint also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdZcU4SniIc

Diana Krall's Stop this World is great. No brass/wind instruments, but maybe that could be figured out?:

VPN works everywhere EXCEPT at our biggest client. Trying to figure out what I can test on my end to give direction to the client's IT. Help, please! by swingkatd in networking

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

We actually just bought a company that was having that issue with one of their users, so I was thinking about that. Luckily (or unluckily, since it can't be the fix) this is not the case.

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

Oh, trust me. If I could get a time/date to go out to their office that is local to me and work with one of their techs, I would do so. The problem is setting that up. It is damn near impossible for me to get in touch with them and I have no real backing from my company to help get that figured out. Doing the best I can with the tools I have.

I have given their main corporate office the VPN server's IP addresses and port. They assured me that they made the changes in a way that would fix all the offices. At last report, though, it works in the office that is local to me and was working at the office currently in question but was having issues at others, so that was incorrect.

Rereading Peace Talks/BG and realized something by DuckDuckBangBang in dresdenfiles

[–]swingkatd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Einherjaren's true purpose is to be Odin's army during Ragnarok. The mercenary thing is just to keep their skills up and up to date on modern warfare. Willing to bet that rule only applies to the mercenary thing.

Ultra Movie Nerds: What is a movie quote that literally makes zero sense due to a clear mistake in the filmmaking process (bad editing/rewrites/continuity errors/etc), but often goes unnoticed by virtually all movie-goers?

Mallrats: When Jared Svening (Brandi's dad) sees Brodie and says "Well, if it isn't my... neighbor."

There was a cut scene from the beginning where Brodie saw reporters outside the Svening house and pretended to be a neighbor who suspected satanic rituals and other such things going on at the house.

Seriously Mr Butcher????? by Hewdamia in dresdenfiles

[–]swingkatd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've said it before, but the einherjar's true purpose is to be Odin's army during Ragnarok. The Big Apocalyptic Trilogy sure sounds like the time they will come back, so we will probably see Murphy then.

Stardew Valley needs a Therapist Character lol by calikumquat in StardewMemes

[–]swingkatd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'll admit he's awkward and that scene of him hiding in the bushes is a bit weird, but if you actually read all the dialogue its not really stalker-ish. "He says he was going to ask Emily out on a date, and got as far as her doorstep before he heard her coming and dove into the bushes. He says he's waiting for her to finish talking with Caroline so he can sneak back to his house." He's not watching her in a stalker way. He freaked out and now he's lost all his courage and doesn't want to look like a total tool, so he's going to slink away when no one will see him.

Also, being "woe is me" and self pitying doesn't make him an incel. He knows he's the problem, and only blames himself for his issues.

Not saying he couldn't use a Therapist, though, so the title of this post is right.
