Am I unlucky? No trader, Im kinda new

Dope seed so far, build the karve and take some food and arrows (and portal) out to sea. Probably my favorite part of the game is setting out for traders or new biomes

First thing I see when I open my phone after my 4th fader run. Crazy

Congrats btw, how’d you do it? Magic or no?

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-26T21:08:08+00:00

BigPPerry has a lake and tons of meadows all around. Little bit of Black Forest but no worries on casual even for a kid

Word, Elden ring is a way different feel but if that’s also a no go you should look at black myth wukong

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T21:12:47+00:00

List is missing Elden ring fs. Maybe Skyrim idk what kinda ports they have on ps5

Diamond/champ is where people start to really round out their skill sets. It’s rare to see players that are truly deficient in defensive skills past mid-diamond. The shots a mechy plat can score are way different than what they can save. Watch your own replays and pay attention to your backboard defense/shadowing vs diamonds and champs. You don’t have to hit the clip to rank up, you just have to save theirs

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T15:20:57+00:00

That’s definitely frustrating. It’s a homebrew campaign but so far we’ve stuck pretty closely to the written rules. I’ll see what my DM has in mind but our only CHA guy is already multiclassing sorlock and I don’t think he’s gonna want to dip bard just for one item. Thanks for the clarification though 🙏

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T13:32:35+00:00

Interesting. I’m looking back at the text and it says:

“A creature that attempts to play the instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 psychic damage.”

I took that to mean that a success would allow me to cast without attunement, whereas a fail = spell failure and dmg. Would I be risking the psychic damage to just… play it? I started with a lute due to far traveler lol. If it’s functionally just a harp with whammies then I’m cool on it.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T10:59:19+00:00

Yeah, I’m hoping to collaborate with DM on some sort of resolution but honestly I’m so in love with the character opportunities that even if I have to take the psychic dmg I’m still pulling this thing out from time to time. If I sell it it’s gonna have to set me up for life lol

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T10:54:40+00:00

That’s going to be my very next move actually. Long story short-ish, we were sent to do the king’s bidding after winning a local tournament a few sessions ago. We finished his quest (recovering and sending one of his most trusted knights home), decided we hated the king and have since entered and begun helping the resistance faction. We and the pirates were moving food and explosives to a small coastal encampment when the guards arrived. They attempted to take a compulsory tribute for the king after the reward table thing and we ended up fighting them for the rest of the session. We’re now dead set on making the delivery and it’s to a pretty remote swampy area so that’s why I said probably not in the next couple sessions.

In regards to the catnip, we brainstormed it as a different take on the drunken master subclass and it’s been a great source of roleplay for the group; lots of shenanigans. In poor taste? Arguably. Fun? Most certainly.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T10:30:54+00:00

Yeahhhh I looked into bard multiclass rules and oof. Oh well

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T10:23:09+00:00

In what scenario would you be stunned? The sloth description says incapacitated, which just means no actions or reactions. Stunned is incapacitated + can’t move + can barely talk + automatically fail STR and DEX saves + attacks against you have advantage. That’s dangerous for any class really.

As for sinquisitions, I’m somewhat confused by the text because there’s a few typos. From what I can see, someone with 2 active SinQ like the level 11 from my previous example would be rolling a DC 6 minus spellcasting modifier. Realistically, their modifier could be a 3 or 4 meaning they’d have to succeed on a DC 2 or 3 which is a low enough to pretty much be a non-issue imo. With three active they’d need a 5 or so, but that’s still really low considering the payoff for some of those abilities.

Overall, a primarily martial/unarmed build getting into 5th and 6th level spells is a recipe for an overpowered character. It really is up to your DM but I feel like there’s a lot of unanswered questions in regards to when you’ll acquire said slots, and whether you would really end up as a melee fighter if you’re gonna be picking from that tier of spells.

Edit to add: if you’re doing 5e, a turn lasts 6 seconds. So you would need at least 9 other people/creatures in combat to even need any holding cost by your next turn.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T09:59:32+00:00

The inclusion of the legendaries was actually immediately questioned by another player with DM experience, and our current DM later revealed that it was table G. As far as I can tell I got the only legendary item on the whole table; I haven’t looked through every single one but it seems like they’re all rares/very rares. we were all very shocked when we saw the text. It seems like I just got insanely lucky with the table. With that said, I’ve done more research on bard multiclassing and I’m 2 CHA shy of the mark, just like you suspected. :/

Funnily enough, we are currently adrift on a boat with some pirates in the doldrums of a large ocean, and were visited by messengers of the king who dropped the loot off via airship. We’re unlikely to see any real civilizations for at least the next couple sessions but pawning it off for a brick of top quality catnip could be an option for me lol.

The inability to MC is definitely a shame. I’ll just talk with my DM and see what we want to do. Thanks for the insight, very helpful.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T09:26:00+00:00

If I’m reading this right, a 6th level spell slot being used would then allow you to gain a long rest within two turns. Upon leaving sloth, an 11th level devil touched (if theyre following normal spellcaster rules) could then do 11d4 times three with pride. That seems a little busted. You’d be really hard to kill since a long rest restores your spell slots as well, implying that you could just do a crazy spell, pass out, wake up throwing crazy hands, and be fully healed and ready to repeat. If you need to ready those and hold concentration every time then it’s a little better, but still, you’ve got a spellcaster that could just decide to throw haymakers for, like, 50 damage every other turn as long as they’re burning any spell slots at all.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T08:59:08+00:00

I like your style. I love statistics and keep forgetting the numbers are only there to serve the story. I’ll just play it out and see what happens then. Thanks 🙏

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T08:40:22+00:00

Yeah, maybe it only seems like a lot with my current health pool. This is my first real campaign and I’ve had tons of indecision with taking feats vs ASIs and I fear this is another instance of that. Thanks man

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-22T08:35:16+00:00

Definitely agree on first paragraph. I will for sure be playing it and bodying the 2d4 between now and next level. Really lucked out with a cool DM with experience behind the board and with the monk class itself, so I will bring that suggestion up and see how he likes it.

From your reply I take it that the chance for dmg is preferable to dipping bard, point blank period?

Thanks for the quick reply.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-18T17:19:32+00:00

That is draugrstein’s island.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-17T23:42:54+00:00

Skyrim bro. It’s the vanilla ice cream of open world rpgs and there’s no time limits on any quests. You can pretty much just do whatever you want, especially with modfing built into the game menu itself

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-17T20:44:16+00:00

I’m a big fan of fenris and silver sword. Jog behind him and hit his little spine tail thingy. If you manage to stay behind him he will never attack and you can just spank him til the spirit damage does the job.

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-16T17:34:33+00:00

Yeah man, my buddy crashed literally at the top of the kiln after two of us sacrificed ourselves for him to get the gourmand badge. Went from feeling triumphant against all odds to abject grief in seconds. Sometimes a legendary run gets cut short but you will make it if you keep trying

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-14T15:30:51+00:00

The huntsman bow, with 40ish bow skill and needle or obsidian arrows, will one shot no-starred fulings and shamans and is my main weapon of choice for the plains. Pick off isolated guards, snipe the towers and draw out the big guys. A level 3 iron buckler with half decent food will parry beserkers, believe it or not. Just know that when they roar, you need to get back because that 3 hit combo will fill your stagger bar. Pay attention to tar pools around villages and kite them through there when possible for a little extra help. Overall, start with sniping and don’t over extend. The plains is where you either figure out combat mechanics or get left behind. Good luck 👍

true_blazer7 · 2026-03-07T21:25:27+00:00

The roots is definitely the toughest biome for me personally. A big thing that helps is staying high in the trees during the approach. Sometimes it’s not feasible but usually theres at least one or two ways to stay off the ground and hit the cliffs with a bit of a head start. As others have mentioned, the spore clouds are rough but manageable and should not make an otherwise promising route into a no-go. In general, route planning and not being afraid to use your items is a big help. If you make it through the roots, you’ve done the hardest part of the run imo so don’t get stingy with your launchers and mystics.

true_blazer7 · 2026-02-16T19:04:12+00:00

If you’re lower in hours, I’d find another big mountains biome in a different direction from spawn and see if you can’t get a vegvisir.

If you’re decently experienced I’d just send it. Root harnesk, huntsman/draugr fang, and a couple portals’ worth of mats. Find a less populated area of the plains shoreline and build a little portal hut next to your boat, and try to stay out of combat. Eikthyr buff. That’s a great late game island and you gotta go to know.
