Do you get that?

#

I barely get 6

idle meteor
#

I usually sleep 7ish hours when not fucked these days

#

I'm usually fucked, so it's more 4 or 12, but

crystal thistle
idle meteor
#

my sleep cycle used to be ~3 hourly, so I used to do 6 or 9.
Now I think it's closer to 3.5 hours,

torpid bronze
#

damn i sleep for like

#

a lot of hours

#

like 12 usually

mystic sequoia
#

Voluntarily?

crystal thistle
#

i get 6

mystic sequoia
#

or is your brain also quirky like that?

torpid bronze
#

im drugged out of my mind on psych medication

#

all the time

idle meteor
#

I'm suffering from long covid : D

torpid bronze
#

🅱️ovid

mystic sequoia
#

I did read you have to use a cane when checking some of your old stuff

#

Is that related?

idle meteor
#

yeah

torpid bronze
#

god im so pissed i dodged covid entirely until the schools reopened

#

and my mom has gotten covid twice

#

from the kids she teaches

mystic sequoia
#

I thank my ocd ass for being so careful

torpid bronze
#

ive been supposed to buy a cane for liek 3 years but instead i just simply struggle to stand up using like shelves and walls and stuff

idle meteor
#

I almost got hit by a car which did my hip, then got hit with covid just after - I was paranoid about it, but didn't have a mask cos I was working in a kitchen that day, and the company ignored the limits and overstaffed hard

#

and my hip has mostly recovered as of the start of the month

#

but I still have dizzy spells, and I tire out very quickly, so still have the cane for stability

torpid bronze
#

oof

idle meteor
mystic sequoia
#

That fucking sucks

torpid bronze
#

i just am so vain

#

i cant figure out a way to make a cane look dripped out for my aesthtic

#

so like

#

do i like way stupider

#

strugglign to stand off the floor?

#

yes

idle meteor
#

I grabbed a few of these

torpid bronze
#

100 times yes

mystic sequoia
#

You can comission me a design

#

And print it

#

sellout

torpid bronze
#

i do like the folding ones

#

or the telescoping orw/e its called

#

im also just broke

idle meteor
#

these are folding

#

telescoping are the ones that collapse into themselves

torpid bronze
#

ah yeah thats what i thought

idle meteor
#

Im still on the lookout for a solid wooden hafted metal topped cane, but

#

atm, I'm coping so

crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

Arco, are you also fucked up like that?

crystal thistle
idle meteor
# crystal thistle how sturdy is that badboi?

the one pictured... medium?
But that was a cheapo one I got so I always had one in the backpack, but it's like... 1mm steel shaft.
The main one I've been using is the same style, but a 2mm steel shaft, so a lot sturdier

crystal thistle
#

nice, thats smart putting one in your backpack

mystic sequoia
#

How much weight do you put into it?

#

like, how bad do you have to use it?

#

when you do

idle meteor
#

sometimes not a lot, sometimes most of it...
the main one and wooden ones hold up well tho

mystic sequoia
#

Taking notes, cuz I was told my back might be a problem by my early 20s

#

and I'm currently on those so

#

gulp

idle meteor
#

absolutley terrible picture, but I'm not redoing it so

mystic sequoia
#

My grandpa has the middle right one

#

Seems pretty good

idle meteor
#

considering something like this though

mystic sequoia
#

hope don't have to use them

mystic sequoia
crystal thistle
#

thank you love

idle meteor
#

jesuschrist

crystal thistle
#

also

#

Go to bed

mystic sequoia
idle meteor
#

I don't want it in my house

mystic sequoia
#

Might need to add a tw for every possible topic when I ask people to check my stuff

#

"Hey, check my weapon rework! TW, EXISTENTIAL DREAD, WAR, SUIDICE"

torpid bronze
#

💀

#

my bad

mystic sequoia
#

Nonono

#

it was my fault

#

I called ovion a scrimblo

torpid bronze
#

i feel like

#

i should add tw to my discord

#

bcuz i just ramble about insane shit

mystic sequoia
#

I do like to ramble

mystic sequoia
torpid bronze
#

yeah lmao

#

i was thinking of throwing it right in there

#

right above my pronouns

idle meteor
# idle meteor considering something like this though

see, for how they fit my hand, I prefer the dome grip ones.
But they're too long, and I've not got round to shortening them.
But, using the short-cross grips, I've realised they're basically a warhammer, so carrying one is not only good for my health, it's bad for anyone who tries anything too. xD

mystic sequoia
#

In your honour

#

And Bunni's

#

and I guess future's me

#

cane weapon poggers

mystic sequoia
#

Cane weapons are so cool

#

like

#

go off queen

#

but the queen is an old man

#

with severe back problems

#

In england you can carry a sheathed blade on a cane iirc

crystal thistle
#

@mystic sequoia

#

which one of this is a shield

#

like

#

a Shield

#

Shield

mystic sequoia
#

Steel shield

#

which ovion would probablly say its actually historically wooden

crystal thistle
#

do clerics not get armor and shield trainings?

mystic sequoia
#

no

#

They get armor

#

But they don't know how to use it

#

they just wear it

crystal thistle
#

kk

mystic sequoia
#

they rawdog the armor

mystic sequoia
crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

Do you wanna play one?

#

They get good defensive spells already

#

but, why the intrest in bh?

#

How's this for indomitable?

#

forgot to add level

idle meteor
#

15-25 years in jail illegal iirc

mystic sequoia
#

What?

#

That was the only reason I had for going there

idle meteor
#

Carrying a blade without a reason (I.e. On the way to work, where you will use it) will usually result in confiscation, and either a fine or short sentence?
Carrying a sword, is a no.
Carrying a concealed sword breaks 3-4 statutes and you'll get screwed

#

It's part of why I like the cane hammer thing

#

Cos it's a legitimate and legal carry

mystic sequoia
#

I mean, it makes sense

idle meteor
#

Something I kinda want to do, is get a ~3mm wall steel tube, then an allu rod to go inside, a spring steel head and cap, for a proper hefty fancy stick, but sounds like money

mystic sequoia
#

Might as well embrace the vibe if you have to use it anyway

idle meteor
#

Indeed

mystic sequoia
#

What's the string for? resistance?

glacial cove
#

It's when you scramble an amiibo

#

Ah, you see, one is for casual Barbarian players, the other is for competitive

glacial cove
#

Oh yeah? I've got your low tier meme right here!

#

I thought tumblr was dead

torpid bronze
#

Tumblr did split with nsfw content creators heading to only fans/reddit/Twitter

mystic sequoia
#

What?

torpid bronze
#

But the sfw side of Tumblr is doing pretty good

mystic sequoia
#

Wait

#

was that true?

torpid bronze
#

Porn ban on Tumblr a couple years ago

#

From apple to stay on the app store

glacial cove
#

If it ain't controversial it ain't popular

torpid bronze
#

Tumbles biggest issue is that it's hard to montonize so it's kinda a toxic assesst for anyone who owns it

glacial cove
#

Yeah, it drives away its users

mystic sequoia
#

That's why Elon is so desperate

torpid bronze
#

Well Twitter is hard to montonize bcuz Elon musk fucked it all up

mystic sequoia
#

twitter makes way less money than he expected

torpid bronze
#

Tumbles layout make it's hard to shove ads into it and the user base hates data mining and will leave over data harvesting

glacial cove
#

The cycle of life, but I haven't seen anything new posted from there, everything seems like an old repost

mystic sequoia
#

I watch PM seymour, that's all the tumblr I absorb tbf

#

They have rotten my mind in unfixable ways

torpid bronze
#

A lot of Tumblr spread is more of breaching containment and ppl referencing stuff rather than Tumblr post being posted everywhere

torpid bronze
#

That too 💀

mystic sequoia
#

There are so many tumblr voiceovers

#

Like

glacial cove
#

If you cut down the middle you get Loss

mystic sequoia
#

It seems like the new gen of voice actors all will have done tumblr voiceovers

torpid bronze
#

The recent colombo revival had a big presence on Tumblr

mystic sequoia
#

I LOVE COLUMBO

#

I love the tumblr version of it

torpid bronze
#

Lmao yeah

mystic sequoia
#

and the gianny voiceovers

torpid bronze
#

I also think Tumblr culture is less referencing specific post or w/e and more of an actual culture of the way people talk and think and feel about things

glacial cove
#

It's still the side character arc, he's in the age where he can't allineate with any side

mystic sequoia
#

Are you going to read through everything?

#

If so, tw

#

a lot of stuff happens in that convo

glacial cove
#

Not as good as "Kenergy"

#

Read the book, read the book, lick the book, lick the book, bookbookbook

#

But what aspect of tiktok specifically? The short video format or the fact that it's full of crap content?

torpid bronze
#

Bro are you just digging through this whole Convo

glacial cove
#

I laughed at this, because the image of chinese people having closed eyes came immediatly to me

mystic sequoia
strong orchid
#

I'm guilty of doing that from time to time

glacial cove
#

It does seem far easier to just abandon the planet rather than save it. I hate humanity

Yo whaddup @glacial cove in the future, when you get to the bottom of this thread Thumbo

#

You right

mystic sequoia
#

Anyway, lod, whatcha think about this?

#

pb scalling fighting styles

strong orchid
#

Lemme take a gander 👀

mystic sequoia
#

for more dynamism

strong orchid
#

Been a while since I took a look at fighting styles, lemme crack it open quickly

glacial cove
#

No expression

strong orchid
# mystic sequoia Anyway, lod, whatcha think about this?

I wanna preface, I've got no stake in the whole martials VS casters debate and whether one is stronger than the other - I like classes having options during customization, but knowing whether a wizard is objectively better than a ranger is not something in my forte

glacial cove
#

I hear that a lot

strong orchid
#

With that said lemme take a read through

I have encountered more decent to good doctors than assholes, so I can count myself lucky. The ones that were assholes tho, gosh such a pain, even prescribing wrong shit

#

The what?

#

Oh

crystal thistle
#

catsad Seba why are you reviving the conversation

torpid bronze
#

Seba plz you dont need to ping me every time lmao

mystic sequoia
#

I don't think he's reading

#

us

#

hes on the past

#

hes coming back to the future

strong orchid
mystic sequoia
#

Nope, for now

strong orchid
#

And I don't think it solves the attack rolls have advantage/disadvantage problem with blindsight

#

At least RAW

mystic sequoia
#

It does, it ignores invis within the blindsight range

#

while they don't hide

glacial cove
#

In a way, yes. People killing themselves is always tragic, but if they have made up their choice, I don't think it's bad to give them such a method.

mystic sequoia
#

they upgrade

#

at lvl 12 for now, as a placeholder

crystal thistle
#

@glacial cove get out of the past!

strong orchid
#

"You can see an invislbe creature within that range" they still benefit from invisible, which RAW means they still have adv and dis (I could be wrong, but pretty sure that's how it works RAW - fact check?)

#

It's RAI vs RAW

mystic sequoia
#

oh shit

strong orchid
#

Also, gtg - playing dominion with the fam

mystic sequoia
#

you are right

strong orchid
#

I'll let you know if I win

mystic sequoia
#

Gotta fix that

strong orchid
#

Yeah it's a weird quirk with invisible

crystal thistle
#

bc 5e sure makes sense

mystic sequoia
#

We argued that the advantage is not for being invisible itself

#

and a power up you get for being invisible

#

the only way it makes sense

#

fuck invisible creatures

#

all my homies hate invisibility

glacial cove
#

It's not hard to imagine that

mystic sequoia

HE HAS SO LONG TO GO THROUGH STILL

glacial cove
#

And I'm still laughing because of how delayed I was

glacial cove
# mystic sequoia

Anyways, if you are going to make all FG pb based, why not give 5xpb times in feet of blindsight?

mystic sequoia
#

I was considering just that

glacial cove
#

For Dual and Great I have no idea

mystic sequoia
#

@torpid bronze made the thing, its at the end of the class description

#

I still haven't added the fighter features to the table tho

torpid bronze
#

oh i like the total of 6/8 or doubles

mystic sequoia
#

Ye, a subclass built around max values would be very inconsistent

#

And barely a class

#

like champions and brutes

torpid bronze
#

lmao yeah

strong orchid
# mystic sequoia

I like great weapon fighting - Seems a lot of fun. Just make sure you specify it only applies to two-handed weapons.

#

Same goes for a lot of these

strong orchid
# mystic sequoia

Dual wielding does feel quite strong to me - What was wrong with RAW?

torpid bronze
#

raw it just feels bad bcuz you're only "gaining" one attack and most martial builds already go for a BA attack

#

so you're just making 3 way more shitty attacks than your comrade with a hand cross bow or a pole arm

strong orchid
#

Oh wait - This is an upgraded section

torpid bronze
#

but yea :3

strong orchid
torpid bronze
#

well yeah but like its mostly a problem with GWM and SS

#

which is what makes the 1d4 pam bonus attack so much better than the DW one

#

not to mention DWing has a bigger feat tax

#

or the feat and fighting style

#

rather

#

i think duel wielding gets a lot better when you just add the two damage die together for each attack you make

mystic sequoia
#

Well ideally, you forget about martial feats on this weaponry

torpid bronze
#

yeah

#

i just think like 1d12 should be a great sword and 2d6 should be duel wielded short swords or w/e

mystic sequoia
#

Wait so, you suggest additive die?

#

That's crazy

#

Never done before

#

I'll be rich

torpid bronze
#

lmao

#

most people dont like just letting you make one attack per weapon

#

😭

mystic sequoia
#

You can do that with quick iirc

#

You can make a free attack with a quick weapon

#

At stage 2

#

Lvl 5

torpid bronze
#

yeah but i mean like if youre a fighter with 4 attacks if you're duel wielding you make 8 attacks

#

but just doubling your attacks breaks things

#

like hex

strong orchid
# mystic sequoia Anyway, lod, whatcha think about this?

From the top (since I was looking at the wrong area)

  • Blind is cool but seems the same 👍
  • Am I reading Dual wrong? Or is that... just RAW?
  • Great Weapon seems great, and is a nice buff to the non 2d6 great weapons while not being that much of a boost mathematically
  • Interception is just Protection from the PHB?
  • Ranged feels the strongest out of all the options, and it scales much more potently than the others, while also being the most boring
  • Steet is neat Thumbo
mystic sequoia
#

Dw now adds your ability modifier by default to the dmg roll

#

Interception is the same, ye

#

Ranged is just better archery on the long run

strong orchid
mystic sequoia
#

But I do agree it's rather boring

strong orchid
#

Meanwhile, most other fighting styles that boost offensive power do so by boosting damage - Not attack

mystic sequoia
#

Wait, is archery +2 on dmg rolls?

strong orchid
#

RAW yeah

mystic sequoia
#

Shit, I read it wrong

#

My bad, sleep deprived

strong orchid
#

haha

#

nw

mystic sequoia
#

Well if you have more free time and are a masochist, I just sent my full base fighter rework (first draft) and the 1st subclass

#

I gtg sleep, it's almost 2 am and I need to be on the airport by 5

#

: D

strong orchid
mystic sequoia
#

No pressure

strong orchid
#

It's missing some base features rn (Fast movement) and many of the other fighting styles it has access to, unless you're purposefully limiting them

#

Although if fast movement is just +speed, that encroaches on monk and I'm adverse to that

mystic sequoia
#

It's a fighter rework

mystic sequoia
#

Catsorry

glacial cove
#

At least the PHB ver

idle meteor
mystic sequoia
#

Spring

#

My bad

idle meteor
#

spring steel is more flexible than regular steel.
So, you'd use say, a 15mm bore 1" diam mild steel pipe
then a 1/2" spring steel core - likely sticking out the bottom some to mount the foot on.
This'll give a bit of flex and suspension effect for a more comfortable step, as well as added strength when used to strike.
But spring steel is spensive

#

so using the mild steel outer is way cheaper

#

think, £100 for core + pipe, or ~150-200 for just spring steel

#

that said, for my purposes, just... that 1" mild steel rod might be enough, and would cut the weight in half, from 2kg to 1

mystic sequoia
#

And I guess you do it yourself

#

Like, you hand craft it

#

Right?

#

Or do you then commission it?

idle meteor
#

one or the other yeah

mystic sequoia
#

I'm trying to make exploding die

#

But a class based solely on that would be inconsistent af

idle meteor
#

this feels... excessive

mystic sequoia
#

Ye, made it at 4 am

idle meteor
#

so, you could stearmline a bunch of that with like, 2+, 4+, 7+, etc

mystic sequoia
#

Or so

idle meteor
#

but even then... its.. not sure how to fix overall, havent the time to give right now sorry xD
gotta sort puters and cats

mystic sequoia
#

No worries

crystal thistle
#

i only like exploding dice when they explode in the highest number

#

also, what happens to finesse characters :(

mystic sequoia
#

This is str based

#

Not all subclasses have to be inclusive

#

To all playstiles

#

I'll also remake the arcane archer and samurai

#

For a ranged and a dex melee build

mystic sequoia
#

Its too inconsistent

strong orchid
#

it lists archery as +2 damage

mystic sequoia
#

I was sure

#

So, ye, better archery

idle meteor
#

I have a thing of fighting styles

mystic sequoia
#

I do like your weaponry

idle meteor
#

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

#

currently redoing the layout so, messier

mystic sequoia
#

Np

#

Txs

crystal thistle
#

@mystic sequoia why not put the properties on the same level as ability score improvements and, similar to Tasha's optional features like Martial Versatility, you can just say "Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can do one of the following" and then just say "Make all your trained properties 1 stage higher" "Choose a new property to become trained with at 1st stage"

#

I reworded this from
"and you can use both properties"
to
"and you are trained with both properties"

mystic sequoia
#

But, they are subject to change

#

I'm not tied to that progression so, idk

#

Maybe a more math person can help w how to make the progression

crystal thistle
#

hmmm

#

welp, I'll rule it as I mentioned, just bc that make things easier to keep track of
yk that an ASI also comes with a TI immediately

#

This is weaker than yours btw, bc now you only get to choose to upgrade 1 or gain a new one, I like this more

#

also

#

you mispelled Appalling 2 times in your doc as Appaling instead

torpid bronze
#

damn just giving better unarmored defense to everyone but monks

#

💀

torpid bronze
#

ovions fighting styles

#

one is unarmored defense

#

which is dex + str/con

#

monks get unarmed defense

#

which is dex + wis

glacial cove
#

It doesn't let me open the image

idle meteor
#

or middle mouse button on it

glacial cove
#

You wanna see something funny?

#

That's how it looks

#

I wouldn't have said anything otherwise

idle meteor
glacial cove
#

Ok so, for some reason I did the usual which is open the picture and then open the link

#

But doing so from the message somehow gives me the right resolution

idle meteor
#

mmmm discord things

glacial cove
#

Sure, shield thingy, but whatever

torpid bronze
#

yeah but you can also do dex + con and you already want con for hp anyway

glacial cove
#

I guess you're right, I was thinking it from the Barbarian perspective, where maxing Dex instead of Str ain't that good

#

I wonder why Bards get it

#

They should at least use Charisma instead of Con

torpid bronze
#

bards shouldnt have unarmored defense at all stop giving full casters acs over 10 they dont deserve it

glacial cove
#

I mean, I know, but if you're going to give them that, at least it should make sense

mystic sequoia
#

I'm supposed to be good at English?

glacial cove
#

I'm supposed to be good at breathing and I can't even do that right

torpid bronze
#

why do casters deserve ac?

#

but yes /hj

glacial cove
#

I'm on their side, casters weakness should be low AC, but they get so many spells to fix that

torpid bronze
#

i just think that casters should have to invest resources into everything they do

#

and armor should include that

#

things like mage armor are fine

#

but just dipping into fighter (for the absurd action surge -> two spells interaction) to get armor is super viable

#

the fighter dip isnt even for just for armor proff bcuz action surge w ould be worth dipping for anyway

glacial cove
#

Well, AS is a 2 level dip

crystal thistle
glacial cove
torpid bronze
#

mage armor also eats a slot that you would other wise use on shield

glacial cove
#

Just look at barkskin for comparison, and that spell is trash

glacial cove
torpid bronze
#

true

#

taking mage armor down to a +2 or something would be fine

#

like compare it to shield of faith lmao

idle meteor
#

I buffed mage armour... And shield

glacial cove
glacial cove
torpid bronze
#

lmao why

idle meteor
crystal thistle
#

Zotewall and Mage Armor isnt any better, also why are you using British spelling!

idle meteor
idle meteor
crystal thistle
#

fair point abt the warlock, I still dont think Casters should just get high AC as easily

idle meteor
crystal thistle
#

meowsip onednd made it so action surge cant use the magic action

idle meteor
#

You get a casting limit, equal to the tier iirc (though it might be Prof -2... Actually)
You can cast as many spells as your action economy allows, up to to that limit, and 1 can be up to the highest you can cast

#

So none of that "cantrip bonus action, reaction" crap.

Just, 1 up to max, rest at limit

mystic sequoia
#

My casters get no armor

#

clerics get up to medium armor for subclasses

#

Wizard w a artif dip goes crazy

torpid bronze
#

give wizards a d4 hit die and no ability to use armor

mystic sequoia
#

I'm working on this rule

#

basically

#

if fullcaster

#

add con mod/2 to hp

#

if martial, full con mod to hp

#

cuz it crazy how wizards are like, 2 avr under fighters and barbs

#

That's not squishy

#

Specially cuz casters want high con anyway

#

so, by simple math, casters and martials will have same con modifier overall

#

Almost same ac, very close hp

#

where's the "squishy"?

torpid bronze
#

nah bruh obvi we should let wizards be the best at every aspect of the game theyre called wizards of the coast after all

mystic sequoia
#

its more of a spells thing

#

if you look at wizards as a class they kinda meh

#

very bare bones imo

torpid bronze
#

yeah but theyre just the best at spells

mystic sequoia
#

7/20 dead levels

#

5 more just asi

torpid bronze
#

you gain at least 1 spell slot every level as well tho

#

dont you?

#

so you even get to steal the rogues liner power curve

mystic sequoia
#

till level uh

#

tier 3

#

they get only 1 per level after that iirc

glacial cove
mystic sequoia
#

armour

#

some armour innit

#

< Loves british spelling

glacial cove
# idle meteor Because it felt *right*

I wouldn't have a problem with Mage Armor if it weren't for the busted duration and ALL THE OTHER SPELLS AND EFFECTS THAT INCREASE THE CASTER'S AC. Of all the things, I hate it exists along Bladesinger's stupid af AC boost. If it weren't for that, I would root for this spell. In fact, I like the upcasting you gave it.

And shield didn't deserve upcasting. Like it or not, that +1 with every level up will matter, though less with every upcast. It effectively means you can pour your low level slots into becoming untouchable, while spending conc. on your very damaging or other battle ending spells.

Props on the player for going full melee with the caster. But that's still a travesty.

Not to mention, Shield is used by many other non-full casters as well. Probably the best spell an EK can use. It's awful.

glacial cove
#

And it's not like they learn the spell with it

torpid bronze
#

shield is like one of the best spells in the game

#

buffing it is wild 2 me

mystic sequoia
#

A subclass giving ya shield is such a buff

#

for any class

# idle meteor

That "no more than one of which..." was hard to read. Took me several tries to understand what it said.

idle meteor
#

(I also made an illusory armour spell, that lets you Summon certain fake armours, at given levels, but you have to be proficient in the armour)

idle meteor
crystal thistle
#

Hexblade also gives Shield

mystic sequoia
#

Did someone say fix wording?

glacial cove
#

Or instead of "required rules" you could say "limited by the actions and reactions you can take". You might say that ignores spells with longer casting times, but those are covered by somewhere in the rules saying you have to spend your action every turn and blah blah blah.

mystic sequoia
#

@crystal thistle I'm too eepy to scroll up

#

what mistakes did I make on wording?

#

and formatting

crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
mystic sequoia
mystic sequoia
#

What about that?

#

MINOR SPELLING MISTAKE

#

AHHHH

crystal thistle
#

I like mine more lols,
wait actually im gonna make a change

mystic sequoia
#

I was consideting that you may get other from other resources

crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

uhhhh

#

idk

#

a feat?

#

a feat would give you one stage 1 property caps

#

unless you get trained and can improve it

#

idk maybe you want your Barbarian to have Vector

crystal thistle
#

this feat will be locked to martials right?

mystic sequoia
#

Just like there are (spellcasting) feats

#

Like metamagic adept

crystal thistle
# crystal thistle There

well ig this solves it so yea, saying "from the ones you chose at 1st" was bad not just bc of that, but also bc it would not allow you to upgrade a property you learned during an ASI level

mystic sequoia
#

why can't I twin spell my sword?

glacial cove

fiery needle
#

Holy christ

#

Thats so cracked

crystal thistle
#

its basically +14 to AC if using a 9th level slot

mystic sequoia
fiery needle
#

Omfg

#

Warlocks

#

They can just use shield even better now

crystal thistle
#

shield is a +10 to Warlocks max level

fiery needle
#

Oof

#

Yeah but now its less of a wasted slot cause it scales

idle meteor
autumn crown
#

what do stages mean?

#

ah, nvm, found it

#

not really considering balance yet, but I think it's alright

mystic sequoia
#

Biggest ones balance-wise are might

#

and uh, stab

#

and both are alright by the math I've done

#

< Not good at math

autumn crown
mystic sequoia
#

There's a table Ovion sent avobe w the exact calculations for might n such

#

But I don't understand much

mystic sequoia
#

Or confusing

#

etc

#

that's mainly what I'm looking for

#

clarity

#

n fun factor

autumn crown
#

how is whip cleave

mystic sequoia
#

@crystal thistle

#

That's his idea

autumn crown
#

Arco

#

you are wrong

mystic sequoia
#

Cuz y'know

#

prety anime boys use whips as aoe

#

And tbh it doesn't break anything, does it?

autumn crown
mystic sequoia
#

Something from castlevania

#

this

autumn crown
#

heh, vector whip trait is literally a spell I just finished today

mystic sequoia
#

The one for space?

#

think I saw it

autumn crown
#

ye

mystic sequoia
#

Yeee

#

Love me some space spells

autumn crown
#

so... vector is kinda op tbh

#

saveless forced movement, with multiattack that's an easy 30 feet of movement

#

or... 130 feet at max level

#

if you are within a quarter mile of any environmental danger, that's a potential instagib

mystic sequoia
#

That's an exploit

#

So

#

thanks

#

gotta fix it

autumn crown
mystic sequoia
#

Any recomendations?

autumn crown
#

from my own cantrip I was just working on: forcing enemy movement is very strong

#

especially with no size requirements or save

#

like, whip man slaps terrasque and sends it flying into nearby ravine

#

also, you can hurl upwards

#

can only imagine if you were like, on a ship, where even 10 feet of movement is enough to remove many enemies from a fight by throwing overboard

mystic sequoia
#

First

#

only once per turn?

autumn crown
#

perhaps

mystic sequoia
#

and, you forego damage to use the property

autumn crown
#

oh no 1d4

#

oh 1d6 now, still not much

mystic sequoia
#

How do you word the hurl to be floor limited?

autumn crown
#

even 5 feet of movement btw is pretty good, it's a free disengage for your ally

autumn crown
mystic sequoia
autumn crown
#

"A creature of your size or smaller" might be cleaner

mystic sequoia
#

fair

autumn crown
#

still unsure if Iike stage 2 doubling the distance you throw

crystal thistle
#

Whips are AOE damage

#

I will not change my mind

autumn crown
#

that is a magic whip

crystal thistle
#

a whip nonetheless

autumn crown
#

a "normal whip" is not a weapon

crystal thistle
#

ok well thats a fair point

autumn crown
#

it should be an improvised weapon if anything

crystal thistle
#

but we are of course talking abt whips as weapons

#

which, whips ARE a type of weapon in DND

mystic sequoia
#

The dnd "whip" is more like that rope with a weigh on the end

autumn crown
#

it shouldn't even be a weapon option imo lol

mystic sequoia
#

imo

crystal thistle
autumn crown
#

isn't that like... a flail or something?

mystic sequoia
#

There's a specific weapon

mystic sequoia
#

that's like

autumn crown
#

kuserigama or something?

mystic sequoia
#

I think so?

crystal thistle
#

the fantasy of the whip wielder is 1000% valid

autumn crown
mystic sequoia
#

No

#

the other one

crystal thistle
#

thats completely different from a whip or a flail lol

autumn crown
#

5e is a bit more grounded in reality... not that much but a little

mystic sequoia
#

more like this

#

I've seen it on tik tok

#

you basically build momentum w it

autumn crown
#

I see cleave as like, the swing continues from the original target to hit more targets

mystic sequoia
#

then shoot it

crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

I did accept whip as cleave because if you want to play that fantasy

#

it breaks nothing

autumn crown
#

fair, it's not on the base list for whip

mystic sequoia
#

i think

mystic sequoia
autumn crown
#

though if you wanna let crazy inventive techniques be valid, imo you should include a rule that just says "If you can convince your DM a weapon should have a technique, it can have it"

mystic sequoia
#

That's what fighters get

#

I just need to pass it to this doc

#

They basically can get any weapon with any property

#

At some point

crystal thistle
#

for the records
I did not wanted Whips to get Cleave, I wanted AOE around the character

idle meteor
#

didja know, 5e whips should look more like this
they were used mainly on peasants for 'crowd control' and fear, and if used as a weapon would be flipped, and the handle used as a club to beat them.

#

follow up - bullwhips, like they are presented in D&D/RPGs, would do like, 1 slashing at exactly the range of the tip of the whip, and nothing against armour

#

this has been another episode of "ruining stuff with history" with Ovion

idle meteor
crystal thistle
#

meowsip that seems fair

#

see, thats gotta be at least 15ft

#

I want thorn whip as a weapon

mystic sequoia
#

1d4+4 of 100 is basically 1

#

Won't kill ya, will hurt

autumn crown
crystal thistle
#

meowsip No I want a normal whip, but that does what thorn whip does, but not thorny

idle meteor
#

Also, I said 1, not 1+stat 😉

#

1d4+stat is crazy generous to the whip, and pure fantasy, which is fine for the sake of fantasy here

mystic sequoia
#

with a whip

#

1v1 ovion

#

my whip vs your cane

idle meteor
#

I win.
For the simple fact, you have to hit me over 50 times, at optimal distance for me to die.
I just have to block the whip with the stick while moving towards you, then bonk you with a metal chunk on a stick a few times

mystic sequoia
#

You are no taking into acount my youth

#

I can push u over

idle meteor
#

maybe if you can get in and strangle me to death with it, but... iunno that doesn't really feel like it counts

crystal thistle
#

Faye you went to art school dont give yourself that much credit /j/lh

mystic sequoia
#

that's low

idle meteor
mystic sequoia
#

And I'm mediocre at it

#

can ovion say the same?

crystal thistle
idle meteor
#

what do they call it now uh

#

hema?

#

like 6 years of that

mystic sequoia
#

I can kick your cane

#

No sword, no hema

idle meteor
#

I'm better with an arming sword and dagger, or two long blades (10-14"), but I was always OK with a staff or polearm and hammer

#

never really did much shield or spear work funnily enough

#

and obv these days, I'm looking more at short-stave and hammer work

#

though I am halfway a cripple so

mystic sequoia
#

That's my advantage

#

I'm young

#

I can jump

#

and tackle

idle meteor
#

the real disadvantage is that doesn't bother me

mystic sequoia
#

Who gets home advantage?

idle meteor
#

doesn't really make much of a difference - so long as it's not over 30c, I don't care xD

mystic sequoia
#

It matters cuz there's stakes

#

a 4.000 dollar flight

#

If I put 4.000 dollars in the line no way I'm losing

glacial cove
mystic sequoia
#

rabbin?

idle meteor
mystic sequoia
#

I'm using a bullwhip?

#

Specifically?

#

aim for the head

idle meteor
#

thats this type at any rate

mystic sequoia
#

you've got no armor

crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

I have long hair

#

I have face and head protection

idle meteor
#

who doesn't have long hair? o-o

mystic sequoia
#

shit

#

beard?

#

I can't grow a beard

idle meteor
#

usually majestic yes

mystic sequoia
#

So, you have to shave it

#

same conditions

crystal thistle
#

Ovion is exactly how I imagined him

idle meteor
#

it's a bit sad atm, cos I just shaved it down to 1/2" for summer

mystic sequoia
#

with phylosopher beard

#

or however you write that

#

For his love of math I just imagine Plato

#

Or sumth

idle meteor
mystic sequoia
#

We ain't respecting medieval rules

#

If we do, I have pocket sand

#

So, Instantly win

fiery needle
#

HEMA def does dual wielding

mystic sequoia
#

cuz you pbbly have glasses

idle meteor
#

I didn't say rules, just, that HEMA is fuckin broad in its definition

glacial cove
idle meteor
#

like... what... almost 1,000 years of assorted martial arts across europe?

glacial cove
#

It broke the meta

idle meteor
#

or at least 500

fiery needle
#

Ive def seen HEMA matches with dual wielding

mystic sequoia
#

Do you use glasses ovion?

idle meteor
#

they broke today

mystic sequoia
#

Thought so

idle meteor
#

and cost me £120

#

I am unpleased

mystic sequoia
#

I'm at genetic advantage

#

good signt, young, no cane

#

I can overpower your hema

#

With my

#

whip?

fiery needle
#

Pff

mystic sequoia
#

how tf do u use whips?

fiery needle
#

By whipping them

idle meteor
mystic sequoia
#

I did three years of gimnastics

idle meteor
#

it's gonna be around 31-33" now I think

crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

So, I can use it to my advantage

#

pull your hair

glacial cove
crystal thistle
#

I'm pretty sure overall dual wielding is mostly not encouraged, a free hand is always optimal
unless its a parry dagger, but parry daggers werent an everyday thing

idle meteor
crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

If we drop our main weapons is game over

#

the other has advantage

mystic sequoia
#

If I can prone ovion (quite easily)

#

hmmmmmmm, idk, I havent seen a dussaks in 6 years lol

idle meteor
#

There's this really interesting shit with blades, where if it's shorter than your wrist your your elbow, it uses one set of muscles in your arm - making it more effective used with downwards motions, and if it's longer, it's more effective with swinging motions

glacial cove
crystal thistle
idle meteor
#

so with one that's the length of your forearm, with the right grip, you can use it in either orientation as effectively

mystic sequoia
#

60 cm?

#

A meter?

crystal thistle
#

ehhh Zotewall idk, I havent used a blade other than my foil in a very long time, so i dont remember what type of stress they would put on my arm as a whole

glacial cove
#

You fool, it's a folding cane, it can be whatever length he wants

crystal thistle
mystic sequoia
#

It does matter

#

If ovion <6 feet, I win

crystal thistle

Something I intend to either get made when I have the money, or make myself if I get a space where I can set up a workshop, is these

Unless we are comparing how many foot each has

3'

glacial cove
mystic sequoia
#

Why are you fighting me now???

glacial cove
mystic sequoia
#

What

idle meteor
#

so here's the thing

glacial cove
idle meteor
#

you have a roughly 2 second telegraph to strike with that whip

#

probably more not being experienced with it

#

I'm not, and it'd likely take me 4-5 seconds to get it rolling at least, so

#

there that

glacial cove
#

If I have learned anything from videogames, you can just dodge the whip by stepping into its curve, or dashing under it for straight attacks

mystic sequoia
#

I'd have to learn whip combat on the fly

idle meteor
#

even at 2 seconds though, that's a lot of time for you to also have me stay at specifically, the point you can actually do damage

glacial cove
#

Or you can just catch it with your mouth and suck it like spaghetti

idle meteor
#

rather than close the 10? feet and hit you with an ersatz mace or warhammer

mystic sequoia
#

wHY DO you have more weapons?

#

nah, only cane

crystal thistle
glacial cove
mystic sequoia
#

If you get a secondary weapon, I also do

crystal thistle
glacial cove
idle meteor
mystic sequoia
#

Didn't know that

#

Ok, well

#

how well do u tolerate pain?

idle meteor
#

inversely

glacial cove
#

Physical or emotional?

mystic sequoia
#

I had to leave muai thay cuz of several wounds caused by what was literally torture

idle meteor
#

I am a complete bitch against pinpricks, and have not noticed getting stabbed in the past

mystic sequoia
#

A whip is lethal against you

glacial cove
#

A whip made out of pinpricks?

mystic sequoia
#

cuz its smol dmg

idle meteor
glacial cove
#

Grab a knife and test it

mystic sequoia
#

Fair

#

outside of whip combat

#

I'd win 70/30

#

whip combat, pbbly lose 20/80

idle meteor
#

I'm gonna go with "depends heavily on a ton of stuff"

#

xD

mystic sequoia
#

Punches and kicks tho? 100/0

#

no chance

#

ez win

#

not even close baby

glacial cove
#

Economy? 0/100

mystic sequoia
#

Don't

#

This is a mere hypotetical

#

where I fly to london and fight him in the big ben

idle meteor
#

maybe, I'm not amazing at unarmed.
I mainly fight similar to... which one uses hands and knees a lot?

mystic sequoia
#

I doubt it /lh

idle meteor
#

is it muat thai actually? xD

glacial cove
#

Probably

idle meteor
#

iunno, it's not that, but someone said it was similar to that at one point (whichever one it is, I honestly forget)

glacial cove
#

I would say K1, but they barely if ever use knees

idle meteor
#

cos it's more... I am terrible with names

#

basically, it's a specific street self defence martial art

mystic sequoia
#

mhm

idle meteor
#

that I was tought, but never went far with

glacial cove
#

I don't know that one, but my next guess was gonna be MMA

idle meteor
#

and it's similar to some other stuff, but it's not actually structured to rules or an arena

#

it's specifically about self defence

mystic sequoia
#

and that's why it was awful

#

I'm a twink

#

Got the shit beat out of me

#

Several times

idle meteor
#

I mean, it's awful for a structured martial art with tournaments

glacial cove
idle meteor
#

its saved my butt irl a few times

glacial cove
#

I haven't seen this one in action, but what if it is kravmaga

idle meteor
#

the key... concepts? strategies? are basically:
Expect you'll be in close / at a disadavantage
Aim for soft spots with elbows/knees with short, sharp strikes

glacial cove
#

I never expected there to be a Street Fight martial arts, cause things there work different

#

Like, it's less about martial, and more of a doing whatever it works

idle meteor
#

ye, it's a martial art in the same way that classic martial arts are - ways to actually fight

mystic sequoia
#

Yep, not much philosophy or spirituality iirc

idle meteor
#

so the focus is on knowing what you can do to end things quickly and either incapacitate/kill the opponent to prevent risk to yourself

glacial cove
#

To be fair, not all martial arts involve spirituality or philosophy

#

I mean common ones

idle meteor
#

what's really, really fun - especially here, iunno how much in other places, but people don't expect you to go for the nuts

#

even criminals, it's ingrained as 'poor form'

glacial cove
#

The philosophy of not killing your partner in combat, maybe

idle meteor
#

so often, muggers or people starting shit leave their soft, vulnerable danglies wide open

mystic sequoia
#

Yep

glacial cove
mystic sequoia
#

A good kick can be incapacitating

#

Or, at least open a window where you can maneuver better

glacial cove
#

When you kick their nuts, but their nuts kick you back

mystic sequoia
#

Not to undermine every other part of the body

#

I was hit in the jaw once due to poor defense

#

That sucked ass

glacial cove
#

Not to mention when you hurt yourself in the process

mystic sequoia
#

That's also a thing I said the other day

#

not everyone can throw a punch

#

You can punch but, most people I've met would totally hurt themselves by the 2nd punch

glacial cove
#

Sure, not like it has to do with the opponent having a good block

mystic sequoia
#

There are many factors

glacial cove
#

Yup

idle meteor
#

yeah

mystic sequoia
#

once I got into a scrap in class

#

Its very complicated in the situation

idle meteor
#

it's part of why the self defence thing is elbows and knees - less small bones to break, less risk to you, and allows your forerms to be focused on defence

#

cos if you expect to get cut, and cut on the forearm, but don't need that bit to fight, you can end things quicker

#

it's really fucking rough to do, but an effective method of defence, is block a stab with your arm - you may or may not get hit, but assume you probably will - but assume and ignore that your arm will get fucked up
leaving your other arm free to go in to end it (assuming you have a weapon ideally)

glacial cove
#

I hurt my finger doing a spar with someone without using any protective gear. I think I hit his elbow when going for a lateral, I didn't notice at the moment. It has been two weeks and it hasn't recovered fully

mystic sequoia
#

Mhm

#

That's why we used equipment to spar

#

and even still

#

Tho the trainer did recommend hitting the wall to create wounds on the knuckles and make them stronger

#

DON'T DO IT

#

BAD IDEA ALARM

glacial cove
#

The inflamation went away first week, pain greatly diminished when moving the finger, however, I have yet to fully contract or extend my finger without feeling some pain at the base of the knuckle

idle meteor
glacial cove
# mystic sequoia _BAD IDEA ALARM_

Regardless I was told I should tap the wall softly to fix the placement of my fingers (aka, I can't form a flat fist), they also told me to do knuckle push ups.

#

Or maybe it wasn't them, I can't remember that detail

mystic sequoia
#

what do u call when skin becomes hard?

idle meteor
#

calloused

mystic sequoia
#

like when you play guitar

#

that

idle meteor
#

but the sand is hard, and rough, and will toughen the skin
but it also has give, and is soft enough to not break anything, or fuck you up (done right)
punching brick is none of that. xD

glacial cove
#

I feel like two weeks is the right time to wait before going to a doctor, but I don't have the money nor the time.

mystic sequoia
#

I did say it was very bad class

#

He would kick us while doing push ups to train

glacial cove
#

I've been applying cold and hot compresses (almost daily) and bandaging my hand for a while

mystic sequoia
glacial cove
#

Fun stuff

glacial cove
idle meteor
#

free clinic time then?

glacial cove
#

We don't have that, as far as I'm aware

idle meteor
#

what country?

glacial cove
#

You either have medical whatsicalled or not

#

Which can cover a lot of the expenses

#

As long as it's not a particular doctor

#

One that doesn't work on a nonassociated stablishment

#

But it's mostly about time, I don't want to make time for this. Specially since it the issue wasn't major and it is recovering

#

Way too slow for my taste, but I just have a terrible healing factor
