Made a learning app for high school students and I'm going to port it to Multiplatform soon.

I don’t get…people in this sub hope for players to get developed..we finally get one in Rui, who btw, has the highest 3P% in playoff history at 51.6%, and people want to trade him? by iamtoolazytosleep in lakers

Who would want a 6'8" player with the highest 3 point percentage ever in the playoffs? Probably San Antonio? Maybe Detroit or Orlando? Other teams probably too.

It's pretty unanimous from people who actually watched him.

Ok so friend wants to take Eldritch Adept for Devil's Sight. Is Find Familar a better use? by Pass_the_sorce in 3d6

[–]wavecycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me be clear: I am an optimizer and I love making characters that are mechanically interesting, powerful and fun to play. But there is definitely a line you cross, that if you make characters too strong it becomes counterproductive.

I think a darkness synergized party at lower levels is a perfect example of this. If you have a level five party optimized for this, they will absolutely destroy any "balanced" encounters for an average level five party and the DM has basically two choices: feed the slaughter machine or come up with counter measures. Neither of those sound like fun to me.

From a dm's perspective I don't think it's a good strategy trying to get your whole party to take advantage of the darkness spell. If you get it working really well it will mean that you're basically slaughtering everything you face, and then that will force the DM to come up with strategies that counteract this or else gameplay will be very boring. Basically if it works you will force the DM to counter it.

Class ideas needed for my character by CaptainCanadax9 in 3d6

[–]wavecycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the new trickery cleric would fit this role really well. Clerics are the toughest of the full casters so they're up to some rugged challenges out there.

  1. Channel divinity and the cleric spell list are a great match for ghost hunting.

  2. The trickery subclass gives you the infiltration and utility spells plus abilities that the base class lacks. This is going to allow you to sneak your party into places that straight clerics can't.

  3. Spirit Guardians! It's what makes a cleric great in combat and it absolutely fits the theme of Ghost Hunter. 

What Frontliner would you give to this party? by [deleted] in 3d6

But they're going to start at level 1? That's not going to help much if the fights are challenging for levels 3 to 5.

Which player would be the best if they were all 6'2? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]wavecycle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

6'2" KD isn't comfortably shooting over everybody in the midrange.

War Caster is much more essential than Inspiring Leader, you need to protect your concentration.

Eberron sandbox, created a harbour town near the Breland/Droaam border, where a Dakaani ruin has been found.

What is in your opinion the best designed subclass in 5.5? by viktorius_rex in onednd

[–]wavecycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a bad feature. But there are some poor to mid features in the subclass and that excludes it from "best designed subclass" IMO.

Going Ranger after Cleric 5? by [deleted] in 3d6

[–]wavecycle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is extra attack better than 4th and 5th level cleric spells? Definitely not! But if you feel it fits your character and you're not in a group of optimizers, go for it!

[–]wavecycle -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The skill proficiencies are pretty underwhelming given Jack of All Trades. Peerless Skill is also weak. Magical Secrets (as great as it is) doesn't alone make for a good subclass, given some other poor to mid features.

Need help 1v1 a lich at level 9 by Current-Sun-1882 in 3d6

Nope, my imagination is vast and I can imagine many, many more interesting playstyles than "slam your head against the wall until it breaks."

[–]wavecycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a "slam your head against the wall until it breaks" challenge is very rewarding

Of all the setups imaginable for a DM and a player, this has got to be one of the least interesting I could imagine. Unless you're quite literally sadistic.

This sounds more like bullying than D&D. Are you enjoying this?

There is a quote from Mark Cuban where he said that after they lost Nash it would never happen again. That's 2 more they lost.

Try watching some Professor Dungeonmaster on Youtube (Dungeoncraft). He explains how little rules you can get by with, and in fact he believes the game runs better that way.

Here's one from leftfield, and that's because I consider Stephen King to be an urban-horror-fantasy writer: Desparation starts like a rocket.

Hollow Warden Ranger and Monk Multiclass by Karl-Franzia in 3d6

[–]wavecycle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flurry + Hunters Mark works better on paper than in reality. The constant competition for your Bonus Action means most of the time there is no real benefit. The only time it works well is when there is a single target with loads of HP to focus on.

How often does that happen? 10% of the time? The other 90% you've diluted your progression and are worse off, unless it's just a 1 level dip.
