THE SHADOW GOVERMENT

[shy mesa]

Ok lake.

Go read up on the classes of DnD

[white carbon]

IM SICK OF THE SLANDER

[obtuse dawn]

Thank god Phil showed up

[shy mesa]

and fulfill your fantasy.

[lunar mirage]

READ

[obtuse dawn]

I gotchu ♥️

[lunar mirage]

[shy mesa]

Knowing almost everything the classes can do, you'll be able to do in-game.

[white carbon]

I READ EVERY DAY MAN

[obtuse dawn]

Haha

[shy mesa]

Oh, and races don't get bonus stats.

[lunar mirage]

so the game is not racist

[shy mesa]

same stats for everyone across the board.

Yeah.

However, you do get racial abilities.

[obtuse dawn]

Racism

[shy mesa]

Like elves and dwarves can see better during the night.

[obtuse dawn]

At its finest

Phil is our resident expert

[shy mesa]

Humans are more versatile, so they get more skill points on level ups.

Etc.

[obtuse dawn]

Get ready to be confused. BG3 has so many terms I’ve had to google

[shy mesa]

Haha.

It's Dungeons and Dragons man~

[lunar mirage]

[candid edge]

I just ignore the words I don’t understand and press on

[obtuse dawn]

I know but Jesus they couldn’t explain it to a 4th grader

[shy mesa]

[lunar mirage]

[light pilot]

well im gonna wait for them to patch

[shy mesa]

You gotta be a nerd to understand 90% of what the game says.

[light pilot]

my save got corrupted

[candid edge]

Thank god they buffed penis C and D

Penis A and B were too OP

[shy mesa]

XD

[lunar mirage]

ok but explain waht is the difference between wizard and sorcerer

[shy mesa]

Ok.

[lunar mirage]

serious question

[obtuse dawn]

SAVING THROW TO CONSTITUTION EXCEPT WHEN AT DISADVANTAGE ONLY WHEN YOUR DEXTERITY IS BELOW AN AVERAGE RATE OF 1d16

[shy mesa]

Wizards have to actually learn spells the hard way.

[lunar mirage]

i thoguht its like the same thing

[shy mesa]

Like.

They need to buy and find a spell scroll WITH THE SPELL THEY WANNA LEARN

[light pilot]

||Raphael fight is cool btw. he even has his own song.||

[shy mesa]

Then they can use it.

Also.

Spells have limited USES PER DAY

BUT

[lunar mirage]

[shy mesa]

You get more spell uses when you level up.

[candid edge]

The only time I turbo paid attention was making sure my rogue had a pristinely shaved coochie

[lunar mirage]

[shy mesa]

Also, spells have tier levels.

[obtuse dawn]

Wtf even understands that fucking description

[candid edge]

Lmao

[shy mesa]

So initially, you will only have a few slots for cantrip rank spells.

and maybe 1 level 1 slot.

[obtuse dawn]

Hoooow?! And why not just use old save? You clearly don’t f5 enough

[shy mesa]

But you'll get more as you level up.

Compared to THAT

[candid edge]

@lunar mirage it’s like anime bro

[lunar mirage]

[obtuse dawn]

Also that’s a very valid point to have

[lunar mirage]

u guys are making little to no sense rn

[candid edge]

Sasuke could only use chidori twice a day

[shy mesa]

Sorcerer is basically using its draconic heritage to NATURALLY learn spells.

[candid edge]

Spells work like that in this game

[light pilot]

[shy mesa]

They don't need to check a scroll like wizards do to learn spells.

They learn new spells on level up.

[lunar mirage]

but wizard spells are surely more epic right

[shy mesa]

They have more spell uses per day BUT they are limited to the spells they have learned.

Nah.

Same spells.

Just different way of using them.

[obtuse dawn]

All saves have that?

[lunar mirage]

[shy mesa]

Also, iirc, spell uses for Sorcerers are shared.

[obtuse dawn]

Fuck mixed with the campfire bug where you can’t sleep makes me f5 even more now

[light pilot]

no just a save after I fight the hag 2nd time

[shy mesa]

So you have like 7 spells you can use for 1 day.

then you gotta rest.

[light pilot]

if I have to replay it will take me 5 hours

[shy mesa]

Whereas Wizard is like.

late-game powerhouse.

That can use all spells.

[lunar mirage]

[shy mesa]

Also.

[obtuse dawn]

Replay it! Don’t give up

[shy mesa]

Wizards can specialise.

Into a school of their choosing.

[light pilot]

I mean I can continue play some save that not corrupt but it will happen

[obtuse dawn]

Wizards can learn all their spells from scrolls too all throughout the game

I didn’t realize this

[shy mesa]

That school of magic they spec into will give them more uses of that school of spell, and basically give them an advantage with it.

[obtuse dawn]

Nexii typed

[shy mesa]

Yep.

Wizards are late-game powerhouses.

like I said.

[obtuse dawn]

Then realized he can’t join in on the bg3/dnd gang gang

They are. Though Gale has fucking died the most

[shy mesa]

Sorcerers are like, pretty good early and midgame, then fall off lategame a bit as the Wizard comes into power.

[obtuse dawn]

Glass cannon

[shy mesa]

And yeah.

Wizards are glass cannons

[obtuse dawn]

I can always count on him dying first

[shy mesa]

Keep them off the melee and ranged.

[lunar mirage]

wtf is cantrip

[shy mesa]

Cantrip is basic rank spell.

[obtuse dawn]

Phil time

[shy mesa]

like rank 0.

it's like doing lil magic tricks.

It's the very basic of basic spells.

After that, you got rank 1 spells, and so on until you reach 7 or 9.

Depending on how far the campaign goes.

[candid edge]

Ur asking too many questions just play

[shy mesa]

Remember. Higher tier means more power BUT, you usually get more spell slots of the LOWER tiers to compensate.

[candid edge]

They’re some type of ability that does something

[lunar mirage]

ye idk i dont like all of these choices

too much FOMO

[shy mesa]

Cuz you'll only have 1 spell slot of the new tier.

[candid edge]

Just pick random shit

that’s what I did

[shy mesa]

lolololol.

[lunar mirage]

im a CRIMINAL rogue

[shy mesa]

Should've played Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights back in the day. 😄

[lunar mirage]

insane roleplay

[shy mesa]

Rogues are good.

Make sure to invest in that Dexterity, but don't neglect your other stats.

[obtuse dawn]

I love my rogue

Perfect if you like breaking the game

[shy mesa]

(ah yeah, all classes have a "main stat" they wanna watch out for)

Later on, iirc, rogues can add their dex modifiers to rolls.

and attacks.

Hope you like backstab.

Do keep in mind that in D&D, constructs and undeads are immune to backstab tho.

😄

(Not only that, constructs have high defense, so rogues have a hard time)

[obtuse dawn]

They took backstab out

[shy mesa]

Oh.

Hmmm.

[obtuse dawn]

Well positionally

[shy mesa]

Ah?

Could be 5th edition rule changes. 🤔

or just for this game.

[obtuse dawn]

Too many complainers in DOS

[shy mesa]

=/

[obtuse dawn]

I miss it

People whined they always felt like they had to get to the back of mobs

And I’m like duh

[shy mesa]

Normally, the range of backstab is usually rather good.

As long as you can flank your enemy, it enabled backstab.

[light pilot]

nah, it is harder to use than in DOS2

[shy mesa]

Well fuck. 😦

People whine for the shittiest reasons.

[obtuse dawn]

If there’s someone in proximity you can sneaky stab

[shy mesa]

I'd just tell the whiners to git gud.

X)

not to mention.

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah it sucks, not my fav

[light pilot]

condition is harder to meet

[shy mesa]

But normally, rangers and such can backstab from range.

So that would normally solve that issue.

and rogues are supposed to have limited access to thrown weapons.

like knives.

or throwin' axes.

(granted, it's not usually worth it)

(I forgot to mention that rangers might need to subclass into rogue for their initial backstab level, oopsie!)

[light pilot]

here the thing in DOS2, you can put stat in movement so you can reach the spot fast but here you cant and you will end up losing secondary point for movement

and not even guarantee the spot

most of the fight you cant even have that

rogue is literally weak in late game 😄

[obtuse dawn]

See I don’t think is it because rogue can sneak attack their range which surprises people at the start of the round

But that’s just me

[lunar mirage]

ok but what is all this goofy ahh aliens

[obtuse dawn]

@light pilot You’re also a gd liar there was no guaranteed crit at end of act 1

[light pilot]

there is

[obtuse dawn]

I@musta missed it

All good

My rogue is@already one shorting mini bosses so

[obtuse dawn]

Oh yeah that

I can’t spoiler on mobile

But yeah

[lunar mirage]

goofy ahh turnbased combat

notsure if i can play this rofl

[shy mesa]

oh wow, that's kinda good. >_>

iirc critical hits are 150% dmg hits, right?

[light pilot]

once per encounter

[lunar mirage]

nah but iam alrdy bored HAHAHAH

[versed timber]

Isn't it once per long rest ?

[shy mesa]

Wait, what do you mean? That ability, or critical hits?

I'm confused.

[light pilot]

ability

[shy mesa]

Ah!

Well, that makes it a bit more balanced I guess.

Still a very good ability to have.

[light pilot]

that how pally can one shot boss

[candid edge]

Told ya

[light pilot]

i really have to wait for patch

😭

my save corrupt again

[shy mesa]

Pallies are fun.

Big charisma. Can use some clerical skills.

Turn undead, lay on hands.

[light pilot]

I play str int

[shy mesa]

WHAT?!

[light pilot]

for cc

[shy mesa]

Normally, D&D paladins want charisma.

a lot of their skills play off the CHA modifiers.

[light pilot]

yep i know but I use him as cc and tank only

[shy mesa]

Uh.

I guess that's ONE WAY.

You're missing out on Smite Evil/Good tho.

[light pilot]

I useually dont kill bosses by reduce their hp to 0 😄

[shy mesa]

:p

[light pilot]

cc and warlocks do the job

😄

[shy mesa]

oh, right, I forgot to mention this for Lake.

But Wizards use Intellect.

[light pilot]

yep

[shy mesa]

And Sorcerers use Charisma iirc.

[light pilot]

pally/wiz

[obtuse dawn]

I feel like Lake gonna put a two hand on his wizard

[shy mesa]

You have a paladin wizard? 🤔

That's exotic.

[obtuse dawn]

Hoot in a nutshell

[light pilot]

i need someone to distract mobs

that why

[shy mesa]

Hrm.

Your stat spread must be all over the place then.

You need str, intellect, constitution...

and some wisdom to resist magic.

[light pilot]

i have 27 str 23 con 18 int

[shy mesa]

Geez

I guess that CAN work.

However.

you do have armor proficiency for shields and heavy armor, yeah?

[light pilot]

both

[shy mesa]

whew.

[shy mesa]

Cuz otherwise, you'd be super slow

Lol.

Low Dex and low Cha.

[light pilot]

jsut need dummy to tank

[shy mesa]

o.o

[light pilot]

nothing else

[shy mesa]

Low Wis too. o.o;

man.

Dex is needed to hit stuff sometimes, you know?

[light pilot]

have alert feat

[shy mesa]

At this point, you have mostly a casting meat shield.

[light pilot]

for initial

[shy mesa]

This is so weird. =.=

I guess it can work. 🤔

[light pilot]

work as intended

[shy mesa]

Just not something I'd do because paladins don't have great synergy with Wizard.

I never played warlocks.

I just know they use eldritch spells.

[light pilot]

there is a strat that I mostly use

use hunger of hydra and rotate mobs in it

with eldritch blast

and pally to clear those who out of it

and pally also do firewall inside the hydra

[shy mesa]

I've no idea what hunger of Hydra even does. 🤔

[light pilot]

smth like this

[light pilot]

mobs will get blind and slow

[shy mesa]

oh.

AoE slow + blind?

Useful.

Does it do ticking damage while they're in it?

[light pilot]

and warlocks keep pushing them inside

[obtuse dawn]

Hoot probably has 200 hours on BG3

[light pilot]

yep

[obtuse dawn]

He’s expert

[shy mesa]

Good stuff.

[shy mesa]

I mean, unless stuff flies or borrows, or warps.

I doubt they can circumvent a patch of AoE.

I bet Hoot hasn't met phase spiders yet. 😄

[light pilot]

i did

[shy mesa]

Oh, nice. 😄

[light pilot]

you can lure them inside

[shy mesa]

Meh.

[light pilot]

using illusion magic

[shy mesa]

oh, so you aggroed them inside?

[obtuse dawn]

See hoot expert

[shy mesa]

Hmm

[obtuse dawn]

This person has played every situation

[shy mesa]

Well.

[light pilot]

this cat

[shy mesa]

There may be situations where that particular strategy won't work though.

Oh, I forgot.

[obtuse dawn]

Hoots already thought of that situation

[shy mesa]

Wizards get a free familiar, right?

I think?

[light pilot]

illusion wiz

[shy mesa]

it's a low level beast.

ah.

[light pilot]

yep low lv

but auto taunt

[shy mesa]

yeah.

[light pilot]

that why]

you can use normal pet to taunt also

[shy mesa]

Yep.

They're just a bit more fragile. How is your familiar still succeeding his taunt rolls that far in the game though?

I know they get a portion of stats from you.

[light pilot]

this is why

[obtuse dawn]

Hoot is like that part in the matrix where Neo sees the code

[light pilot]

you can summon every turn

[shy mesa]

Ok, that is kinda broken.

For a cantrip, too.

[light pilot]

no cantrip

[shy mesa]

But what if you keep failing your taunt checks?

or the mob is immune to taunts?

[obtuse dawn]

They don’t fail

[shy mesa]

I also reckon that constructs are usually more resilient to blind, slow and fire.

[obtuse dawn]

Hoot makes sure ahead of time

[light pilot]

use this

bigger pet

[shy mesa]

Fire elem?

[obtuse dawn]

😂😂😂

[shy mesa]

Looks like it to me.

[light pilot]

that why all my char can sum pet

[shy mesa]

=/

So you're basically zerging the enemies with summons.

I guess that works

[light pilot]

yep

here

[shy mesa]

I just hope you don't run into something that can AoE your whole party. xD

XD So many.

[light pilot]

I can get more

[shy mesa]

=/

Hoot is using human wave tactics. xD

[obtuse dawn]

This why hoots save game corrupted, couldn’t handle their brain

[light pilot]

xD

[shy mesa]

[obtuse dawn]

Game rolled a perfect 20 on their strat

[shy mesa]

I doubt that strategy works on higher difficulty though.

[light pilot]

almost end game and it always work

[shy mesa]

Hmmm

[light pilot]

on low lv I use grease and cloud of dagger

[shy mesa]

Normally, you'd have a dedicated party member for summoning though, not like 3 of them. XD

Yeah, that would work.

Grease was always a favorite of mine. XD

btw

you do know it can catch fire, right?

🙂

[light pilot]

yep

so no fire spell

[shy mesa]

oh, you just have it for the slow and knockdown effects?

[light pilot]

😄

yep

[shy mesa]

That's good. Dunno what Cloud of Dagger does, but I can hazard a guess.

Basically, Hoot's whole strat is either mass summoning zerg, or meat grinder CC. =/

[light pilot]

mass pull also

[shy mesa]

Or a mix of both.

Well yeah

[obtuse dawn]

Duh it’s a cloud of daggers

This person

[obtuse dawn]

The beauty of the game I suppose

[light pilot]

let my pally pull and misty step

[shy mesa]

If you have that kind of control, you can manage it.

[obtuse dawn]

Poor @lunar mirage readin all this and like fuck it

[shy mesa]

Wait a sec, Hoot.

[obtuse dawn]

Oh shit

[shy mesa]

Doesn't banish spells exist in this game? ^.-

[light pilot]

exist

[shy mesa]

like, spells that unsummon stuff?

then it stands to reason mass banishment might also exist? >_>

Wouldn't that kinda neuter you?

[candid edge]

This just confirms I’ll never do the proper dnd also

[light pilot]

havent seen it yet

[shy mesa]

Hmmm

Could be for higher difficulty or content.

[lunar mirage]

Nah i stopped reading long ago rofl

[shy mesa]

idk.

[light pilot]

I forgot my strat doesnt work on githyanki

[shy mesa]

Why's that?

Cuz they have misty step?

[light pilot]

since they can teleport and mass aoe

[shy mesa]

aha.

Right, right.

Gotta think of countermeasures then. 😛

[light pilot]

so for that I have to use hold person mmostly

[shy mesa]

Geh.

Hold Person. =.=

I remember that spell.

it's a pretty hard CC spell, isn't it?

Basically makes the person completely helpless for a couple of turns

[light pilot]

they always target ppl who use concentration spell first

that why my strat doesnt work

[shy mesa]

;^p

Gotta have contingency plans. 😛

[obtuse dawn]

I missed half the shit

[lunar mirage]

Its just like i thought

Not for me

[obtuse dawn]

I have enough time keeping gale alive and y’all playing 5d chess

[lunar mirage]

But oh well nothing wasted

[obtuse dawn]

Your time

Priceless

Young one

[lunar mirage]

Wasnt too much

[obtuse dawn]

That’s an hour youll never get back you coulda been super zooming with tik tok dances

[lunar mirage]

An hour maybe

Dont have any videogame to play rn

Waiting for poe 3.22

Ah i suppose i could try the d4 patch

[obtuse dawn]

Tik tok dance

Go influence young one

[lunar mirage]

Nah iam ok

[sturdy field]

its today?

oh damn

also should I bother doing the entire dungeon at level 4 ||to kill the auntie ethel witch|| or should I wait later, since I'm garbage at the game

[lunar mirage]

Ye

[light pilot]

your lvl is too low

[obtuse dawn]

I did it at 4

Easy

[sturdy field]

conflicting answers

[light pilot]

you will lose innitial

[obtuse dawn]

Nope

I didn’t

[sturdy field]

I'll wait later, I got to the dungeon and had started to jump through the traps, but wsan't sure if I was wasting my time lol

[obtuse dawn]

It’s super fun

Probably one of my favorites

[light pilot]

I went there on lv5 and when I see I lost initial twice I quit and come back later at lv7

[obtuse dawn]

What class are you playing

Oxez

[sturdy field]

we're on dreamgrove aren't we

[obtuse dawn]

There’s a certain part where a certain character gives you a perm eye that helps in the last fight

Yeah

[sturdy field]

quite annoyed this morning, I plugged my headset last night it was at 30%, this morning it doesn't work and won't even charge, fuck hyperx

[obtuse dawn]

I did it at 4

[light pilot]

wait what?

[obtuse dawn]

Don’t wanna spoil it and I can spoil tag it

[light pilot]

||you mean Volo eye?||

[obtuse dawn]

Can’t

[sturdy field]

but yeah, druid. Maybe not the easiest for a noob like me lol I should have picked a rogue or something

[obtuse dawn]

Yes

That helps with the end

Fight

A lot

[light pilot]

I had it but still cant see that

[obtuse dawn]

With rogue I could every time

Made the experience laughable

[light pilot]

[obtuse dawn]

Maybe that’s why I could do it at 4

[light pilot]

anyway even if I see her I still couldnt kill her

[sturdy field]

I can change my character's class to w/e with that boney guy right

[light pilot]

cuase she 2 shotted me

[obtuse dawn]

I’ve been playing rogue almost every Larian game so I tend to know the systems

[obtuse dawn]

Weird. Yeah wasn’t an issue other than a certain thing being afflicted by a certain thing that was under a duration

I hate not being able to spoil tag

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah you can change

Only bitch is the armor weapons

But I didn’t have issues with that boss, the environmental stuff sucked so be ready for that

That’s not spoiler is it?

[sturdy field]

game ruined gg

[shy mesa]

Can rogues still vanish in plain sight in this game?

[light pilot]

yes

[shy mesa]

whew.

[light pilot]

once per short rest

depend

[shy mesa]

yeah.

ok, not too bad.

[light pilot]

I have 3 invisible spells 😄

[shy mesa]

_>

[light pilot]

on rogue

[shy mesa]

Well, yeah.

you made a rogue wizard, I bet.

[light pilot]

no

pure rogue

[shy mesa]

no? ^.-

[light pilot]

get spell from ring

[shy mesa]

pure rogue gets 3 invis spells? o.O

[light pilot]

no

[shy mesa]

ok.

Ring, that's fair.

Magical items are always good

What else?

Invisibility is just not something just about every class has. X)

Unless you are a wizard with mass invisiblity. >_>

In which case, the point is moot.

[light pilot]

mostly use rogue as scout 😄

[shy mesa]

Don't some monsters or stuff have invisiblity detection or stealth detection? ^.-

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah

[shy mesa]

you have to make roll checks vs their perception iirc.

[light pilot]

there is a potion to detect

[shy mesa]

hm.

Aren't there also traps?

Hope your rogue can detect and disarm those.

[light pilot]

yep but barely see trap

[shy mesa]

😛

[obtuse dawn]

I just stack stealth items and disarm

[shy mesa]

I remember my rogues tripping traps that would one-shot him on previous games. ._.

[obtuse dawn]

High perception

[shy mesa]

like, you trip something and bam.

Fireball to the face.

and there's conveniently an enemy nearby to finish you off.

sigh

[shy mesa]

Good strategy.

One cannot underestimate the utility a rogue brings.

However, a bard can be just as useful.

They can disarm traps and unlock chests, etc.

[obtuse dawn]

Bard is next play through

Or monk

[shy mesa]

They also have item lore.

For identifying stuff.

same as wizards.

also, bards have high charisma, iirc.

makes negotiations go better.

They have some spells too.

They just don't have any dmg potential.

Mostly a support class.

[light pilot]

gonna play monk next playthrough

[shy mesa]

Monk is great.

[light pilot]

monk gear effect are really interesting

[shy mesa]

I always liked it in all my D&D playthroughs.

Monk basically becomes a one-man army late game.

They have high armor, high attack chance, instant kill move with Quivering palm.

A stun move, a self-heal.

and iirc, they get a bunch of resistances to elements too.

(and ofc, all of this is barehanded)

or while wearing little to no armor.

it's sometimes ridiculous.

[light pilot]

if you see its gears you will laugh so hard

too op

[shy mesa]

http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/monk

As it should be.

[light pilot]

you can combine both str and dex into dmg

[shy mesa]

oh yeah.

[light pilot]

and can bleed

[shy mesa]

Monks are also fast.

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.

There's nothing they can't do.

XD

Bulletproof monk.

"At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail."

😄

"Purity of Body
At 10th level, your mastery of the ki flowing through you makes you immune to disease and poison."

Status effects? Fuck that.

"Diamond Soul
Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result."

This is the shit.

"Timeless Body
At 15th level, your ki sustains you so that you suffer none of the frailty of old age, and you can't be aged magically. You can still die of old age, however. In addition, you no longer need food or water." Ascending towards godhood.

[light pilot]

ki restore in long rest, right

[shy mesa]

I would think so.

[light pilot]

I think that why I didnt play it on first playthrough

[shy mesa]

"Empty Body
Beginning at 18th level, you can use your action to spend 4 ki points to become invisible for 1 minute. During that time, you also have resistance to all damage but force damage.

Additionally, you can spend 8 ki points to cast the astral projection spell, without needing material components. When you do so, you can't take any other creatures with you."

~.~

[sturdy field]

hm ok I just opened the door to that barn, lmfao wtf

[light pilot]

take the offer 😄

[shy mesa]

"Ki
Starting at 2nd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Monk table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class."

[obtuse dawn]

Issue is with playing another time is that I’m so type A with questing so I have to eliminate every gd thing on each map

[light pilot]

that girl is ||important||

[shy mesa]

"When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points."

"Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:"

"Ki save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier"

Basically, Monks want high dex and Wis.

"You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:"

"You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons."

^

This alone.

Makes Monk hit hard.

"You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table."

"When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn."

"Flurry of Blows. Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action."

"Patient Defense. You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn."

[sturdy field]

have you tried playing on the deck @obtuse dawn

[shy mesa]

"Step of the Wind. You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn."

@light pilot Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier. This is how Monks are tanky.

[obtuse dawn]

Not yet! I don’t wanna relearn the damn controls

Maybe next playtheough

[light pilot]

but ki restoration is the problem to me

[shy mesa]

this gets solved further down the line!

"Perfect Self
At 20th level, when you roll for initiative and have no ki points remaining, you regain 4 ki points."

😉

[light pilot]

lol

dont think 4 is enough 😄

[shy mesa]

"Ki-Empowered Strikes
Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage."

❤️

bye bye ghosts and magical creatures.

"When you reach 3rd level, you commit yourself to a monastic tradition. Your tradition grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, and 17th level." Hmmm

I dunno if this is in this game but it could be interesting.

"Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.

At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move."

Literally can run on water.

I swear.

Single-classing Monk is super fun.

XD

[light pilot]

so what should I pair with monk

[shy mesa]

Dunno.

Bard maybe?

I dunno all the classes available to you.

And there's probably some I've never played, like warlock.

So I can't help you there, I just know the more "classic" classes.

Btw, at lvl 20, monks have 20 ki points.

[light pilot]

if I play monk I cant use mass cc, so better get all 3 hit hard type

[shy mesa]

It depends on your play style! 🙂

Maybe get a barb.

for that muscle.

then you might want a cleric.

[light pilot]

thug comp 😄

[shy mesa]

Do keep in mind clerics in DnD are somewhat melee competent.

They can wear heavy armor.

and a shield.

Yeah, go figure. I dunno why, but there are no casting penalties for clerical spells when using heavy armor.

So go ahead and outfit him/her with all plate+shield if you care.

then I dunno.

Maybe a ranged to round up all that.

You'll have only 1 squishy guy. The ranged.

Everything else will be pretty fubar.

it's a 4-man party or 5?

[light pilot]

monk/fight + ranger/rogue + druid/cleric + bard/fight that what I think

[shy mesa]

Hmmm.

[light pilot]

druid for mini health stone

[shy mesa]

Could work.

Druids are more squishy than cleric main class tho.

this also means that mostly your monk will be on the front lines.

UNLESS you have a melee ranger.

who specs into dual wielding.

[light pilot]

yep expect monk to tank

[shy mesa]

and evasion.

think like survival hunter in wow.

or Rexxar.

You got a beastmaster, basically.

but more on the melee side.

Bards are squishy and not meant for the frontline.

[light pilot]

sword bard

[shy mesa]

Dunno why you want him to sub him with fighter.

[light pilot]

fighter for action surge

[shy mesa]

hm.

[light pilot]

mean put only 2 points

[shy mesa]

I guess. =/

I would advocate you main cleric rather than druid, but that's your call.

for one, clerics can resurrect.

[light pilot]

mostly cleric but put druid 2 points for minihealth stone

[shy mesa]

Druids, I dunno if they have a similar spell.

I know druids have some handy spells that are nature related.

Grease for instance.

Up to you to decide your formation.

Clerics can take a hit with heavy armor and shield+mace.

if you want a "thug" comp, she could go toe to toe with your melee ranger and monk.

😛

[light pilot]

yep

no way can play my normal strat

[obtuse dawn]

Yo so for cleric, she casts bless and it’s concentrated

If she gets hurt or casts another spell it gets broken?

I’m confused by this

[shy mesa]

http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:bless

Hmmm

Doesn't say?

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah I was confused

She casts bless on everyone

But if I get hit or cast another blessing like spell it takes blessing off everyone

Time to do some googling

[shy mesa]

"Divine Intervention
Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your behalf when your need is great.

Imploring your deity's aid requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice."

lol, instead of relying on God, you're directly asking him to get his ass over here.

"If you roll a number equal to or lower than your cleric level, your deity intervenes. The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate. If your deity intervenes, you can't use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest."

"At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no roll required." Kek. When you're ordering God around. 😛

and ofc, the signature move of Clerics:
"Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Cleric table above."

so, there's 9 levels of spellcasting.

must be fun.

http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:true-resurrection

Looks fun.

Seems a druid would work just as well as a cleric for that.

"Archdruid
At 20th level, you can use your Wild Shape an unlimited number of times.

Additionally, you can ignore the verbal and somatic components of your druid spells, as well as any material components that lack a cost and aren't consumed by a spell. You gain this benefit in both your normal shape and your beast shape from Wild Shape."

Speaking of druids.

"Beast Spells
Beginning at 18th level, you can cast many of your druid spells in any shape you assume using Wild Shape. You can perform the somatic and verbal components of a druid spell while in a beast shape, but you aren't able to provide material components."

[obtuse dawn]

You’re sucha chad

[timid walrus]

BAER hasnt even played yet

[obsidian geyser]

so its good that I inform BAER of the dangers of playing as 4 BAERs

[timid walrus]

seems that will be BAER's goal

[shy mesa]

[light pilot]

why play bear when you can play as owlbear?

🤷

[obsidian geyser]

well to bear or not to bear

that is the question

[shy mesa]

A hard choice to bear, for sure.

Until it comes to bear.

🙂

[timid walrus]

the answer is to BAER

[timid walrus]

why would you want to be a hooter? look what happens in #balance

[light pilot]

[shy mesa]

I wholly agree with BAÉR there.

No offense to you, Hoot.

[obtuse dawn]

[lethal valve]

why does the left, or atleast Breadtube, hate liberals?

also what are liberals?

[solid needle]

the left

[lethal valve]

thats what i thought! do they hate themselves?

is it just cause liberals like private property and further left u go the less cool that is?

[solid needle]

ok

[candid edge]

[lethal valve]

u tricked me i thought u knew what was up

[shy mesa]

Liberals are usually associated with progressist ideas. Openness to other cultures, and thus favoring minorities. Liberal economism also means spending government money to stimulate growth and employment. Usually has a lot of social programs such as universal healthcare, a minimum salary, and a plethora of things the state finances that could sometimes be covered by the private sector, but where it is often absent.

Going too far to the left of the political spectrum means increasing State control, which can veer towards communism.

In which the State basically controls a huge portion of the economy, and leaves nothing for private interests. The idea behind this was grounded behind Karl Marx's magnum opus, Das Kapital. This is where unions started coming into being so workers would actually own the product of their labor.

[obsidian geyser]

what is breadtube

[shy mesa]

No idea.

[obsidian geyser]

is it a part of youtube about bread

if so im interested

[shy mesa]

Me too.

Or maybe it's a bread baked like a tube?

[obsidian geyser]

that is

boring

I wanted bread

[shy mesa]

😦

There are good ideas to be found on both the left and right side of the political spectrum.

Being too extreme only polarizes the debates.

this probably answers your question

I dont care enough to fully read it but at least it talks about that topic

[shy mesa]

Heh.

It's not really a good explanation of it.

It talks more about the algorithms that leads users there than what it is proper.

[obsidian geyser]

yea seems to only mention that their community dislikes it

[solid needle]

I can’t believe y’all got this baited by that guy

tomorrow musical history will be rewritten as drake releases his new album

[somber pumice]

Depends on what you call "The Left", in the US Democrats are labeled as leftists by Republicans due to their positions towards inclusion but economically speaking in Europe they'd be considered Center-Right at best

Liberalism means the State should only handle the Sovereign functions (education and military amongst others) with the rest being handled by the Market

[lunar mirage]

Far-left far-right nah bro im far-ming

[somber pumice]

Of course this leads to other issues such as environmental costs and what shouldn't be handled by the Market but state regulated, which of course isn't an easy question to answer

[lunar mirage]
