eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Lord Of The Rings Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Second breakfast??English11·5 months agoWhen the d&d session runs until 1 am.
Presumably, someone attempting to mug you would probably be a bandit (+3 to hit, +1 to damage), not another commoner
Actually, reddit is not coming. That’s kinda the whole problem outlined above.
That’s the flameskull from the d&d 5e monster manual
i mean, if youre wanting exploitative rule mechanics based on wording/interactions, you need to look no further than base first aid and medicine in CoC; You’re able to make 1 of each per wound you take. Unlike older editions, they’ve done away with the heal cap on it, so if you’re down HP, simply deal yourself 1 HP of damage, make a first aid check. and then make a medicine check to heal at minimum 2 HP. Repeat until full. You can easily reheal yourself to full this way, which is definitely “unintended” based on how healing works (and older editions).
Edit: at the end of the day, my point is that pretending other games cant or dont have exploitative mechanics/builds/whatever is naive at best? It’s not a D&D only problem. It’s just more prevalent in D&D because 1) it has more rules and 2) it has more players.
i feel like “does he not like bilbo?” can basically sum up gandalf’s actions in the hobbit more generally
It’s legit not hard to make an OP/powerful character in either VtM or CoC, assuming youre talking about making a character good at combat (which is usually what people talk about in this context with power gaming). I don’t play PF2e, though, so i cant speak there.
CoC take high dex, put 90+ in handguns, take the pulp talents rapid fire and quick draw, wear a bandolier of guns, and dual wield pistols that you fire 6 shots from per turn. If you dont care about going first, then fast load if you care about reloading, if not, then just take shadow and start combat hidden for two attacks with a bonus die at the start.
For VtM its easy as take fist of caine and lightning strike. If you aren’t playing as elders, this requires gaining some exp first. I know there’s other combos that i cant think of off hand that are pretty potent too.
Each of these do have counters in the form of monsters immune to guns (CoC), or celerity 5 opponents (VtM), but thats no different than a DM in D&D always throwing fireballs at the guy with high AC. It begins to be apparent when its happening all the time that the GM/DM/Keeper/whatever is specifically targeting your weakness.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Technology@lemmy.world•Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?English0·10 months agoFWIW, at this point, that study would be horribly outdated. It was done in 2022, which means it probably took place in early 2022 or 2021. The models used for coding have come a long way since then, the study would essentially have to be redone on current models to see if that’s still the case.
The people’s perceptions have probably not changed, but if the code is actually insecure would need to be reassessed
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Song of the pixie who multiclassed as bard and barbarian, becoming a bardbarian4·10 months agoi mean, thats part of what gives it away. all the current AI generated music has a flat, auto-tuney quality to it. There’s also a fairly limited number of voices it ends up using, so its pretty distinctive when you hear one.

eerongal@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much1·11 months agoin 3e, summon spells specifically conjured the spirits of creatures that couldnt “die” per se. They would desummon if they lost all their HP and reform later.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much1·11 months agoi mean, there were plenty of other ways, including things you could do at lower level, that was just the common go to because it required a single high level spell, and usually you fought big T at high level.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much1·11 months agothe usual go to back in the day was to drown it, because it wasnt immune to that in any way. Simply gate it to the plane of water. There was a number of other work arounds like that too.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much1·11 months agoi can also confirm that the tarrasque was pretty universally clowned on for being easy in 3.5e. That discussion is basically what drove the whole “town built around the tarrasque” idea on the wizard forums and enworld. That said, it’s probably not as bad as the 5e tarrasque by comparison
You basically just described kanban.
As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.
It’s worth noting that some coursera courses are created and maintained by actually accredited institutions, and some courses qualify as college credit with ACE accreditation. Also, many tech certifications host their courses on coursera too, like microsoft has official azure cert courses on there.
That doesn’t necessarily mean anything for any given random cert, though, because that means that the entire site is a pretty big grab bag in terms of the usefulness of their certs.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Games@sh.itjust.works•Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord - Launch TrailerEnglish8·1 year agoDepends on the person. It’s very “old school” in it’s gameplay, and very hard and punishing, grindy, has perma-death, etc.
I’d think most modern gamers would hate it, but I personally like wizardry to games (though it helps that I’m old enough to have played older versions). If you like old school d&d, it’s very much in the same vein. The remake linked here is pretty good, I already own it from early access.
