#Why only Casters?

[orakia]

But what if I want to be Medea's personalized Garage Kit Master? She'd probably want to show the work off out of pride, but is that so bad?

I’m gonna come out and say it: for all the dickwizard jokes the Fate fandom makes about Merlin, were he real I think he’s probably be one of the like… three casters I’d actually trust to do magic bottom surgery without being maliciously weird about it.

Probably yeah. He'd be weird about it, but in the way that like your weed smoking friend would be to rib you before being forever chill about it.

Amazing, take some of the side character demons from Evil Bound.

Vincie is a menace to Chuck and Chuck alone so in Hell, Chuck hexes his hand behind his back so that he isn't grabbed as much (and it's harder to pet him). Chuck is like the most irresponsible older sibling ever to demons though so Kelvin recruits him (as an older sibling vibe) to go help him get his ACTUAL older sibling from Earth. Chuck agrees. And then drags Vincie from Hell with them because no one else wants to babysit him and he refuses to unbind the hex just to re-hex when he returns to Hell.

In Hell, Kelvin actually doesn't appear much different than his human form! Like Kronos, the lines under his eyes are red in Hell but black on earth. Chuck however? In Hell he has wolf-ish ears and has a fur lining his neck (note the neck scars in human form). In addition to that he has four eyes in Hell (note the scars under his eyes in human form). Vincie just has horns in Hell. And! In Hell the hex doesn't have a silly looking "tied up" look, it's invisible unless Vincie strains it with movement and then its red text. But it shifts on earth to be visible.

Vincie's biggest agony for the entirety on earth is "dude it's colder here than in Hell I want a jacket to slip my arms into BUT I CANT BECAUSE IM BOUND".

what mobile game does serena play

None.

Despite owning a Holo Caster, and having a phone well before that while living in Sinnoh, Serena has never really been the sort to play any games on either. From a young age, Serena was raised strictly around the idea that if she was bored, she should go and do something productive. Go outside, go check on the ghost pokemon in Eterna Forest, go help out at the flower shop, go practice, go riding-- something where she could either feel useful, or at the very least not feel like she was letting her mother down. Even laying in Floaroma Meadow and daydreaming seemed like a safer option to keep that nagging sense of anxiety at bay. If she was not in that conundrum, Serena was at the academy, where breaks between classes were times where she preferred to spend with her friends, or practicing Unovan with students from other regions, and helping them with Sinnohan in turn. She always had to be doing something, and, to her, games on phones or other pieces of technology did not count as that it was her who was indulging in it.

Aside from that, there was always a lingering fear that if she become too distracted with those games, Serena might might miss a call from her father-- answer it a little too late and miss a chance to talk with him. So, in the present day, they just are not a source of entertainment that Serena would turn to when she has nothing to do or is waiting.

Joined a D&D group and got to try out a new type of character last night and the primary thing I learned is that spell slots are, conceptually, v stupid and bad

[robotsprinkles]

I know I've not played destiny as a regular thing for a year now so my opinion on this doesn't really matter

but I don't understand or like the decision to change strength, discipline, and intellect to just be named "melee", "grenade", and "[super(?)]"

destiny 2's general feel, atmosphere, and tone is already significantly less mysterious and wondrous than d1 — which isn't necessarily a bad choice, and the improvements in character work and story are arguably worth the loss of those aspects (they're still present to a degree, but I still think they're far stronger in d1)

and while I get the idea behind it, namely,

"we want to make the game less daunting for new players and making everything's function and purpose crystal clear and idiot-proof is a good way of doing that"

I think trying to make your game appeal to people who couldn't be bothered to hover over the stat icons in the inventory to figure out what they mean, or just google "hey, what do these stats that tell you what they do if you hover your cursor over them do I don't know how UI works"

is kind of uh. well, it's a choice.

I don't understand stripping out bits of your game's identity and character (even if they're relatively minor bits) to bring in that sort of player.

I know the names of stats isn't all that important in the wider scheme of the game, but as someone who enjoyed that the stats were a little opaque in their naming scheme and felt like a part of the setting when I started playing, with your character's actual intellect, discipline, and physical strength determining the rate at which their abilities recharged, renaming them to the most gamified, generic, "this is what this thing does" [stat=respective ability] thing annoys me more than it probably should

it's like a less egregious version of renaming striker "electric puncher" and hammer of sol "throwable fire hammers"

or if you renamed all the weapon perks to just be their exact function

like, sure, which of grenade recharge and super recharge is governed by discipline and intellect could arguably be impossible to tell by their name (I don't think you can make an argument that strength governing melee is unclear), but when discipline and strength are represented by a grenade and a fist, I think it's already obvious enough.

Hag: *looks at existing OCs"

Kitt (mixed): values precision over power, be it magic or physical combat; in control of himself at all times;

Rei (Naruto): due to small chakra reserves is very precise in how he uses it

Moira (One Piece): precise timing in using Haki and Geppo allows her to run on sea waves despite being a Devil Fruit user

Saiver (original): by matching the rhythm of his life energy with others, causes resonance between them that can either strengthen or weaken himself and the target, requires precision

Rite (Star Wars): a Jedi, control is a given

Hag: *looks at newest OC*

Nikko (Bleach): master of evasive maneuvers, deflects any attack with minimal amount of reiryoku needed (control off the charts), can hide his presence anywhere

Hag: *squints*

Hag: …

Hag: Coincidence, I'm sure

I thought so. I thought “enervate” meant “weaken.” Ysuran has a spell called Enervation that drains HP from the enemies in front of him, and I keep thinking it’s the one that lowers their dmg, but that’s Ray of Enfeeblement. Outside of BGDA2, Enervation has a chance to kill an enemy outright, and if it doesn’t, it temporarily reduces their dmg. I think. The wiki says it “suppresses their lifeforce” and also that it will “increase an undead creature’s un-lifeforce.” So does it also deal damage? Decrease CON? Urg, this is one of those spells I never use in NWN so I don’t know…

I should probably be playing that instead of BGDA2 tbh, so I can rework Ysuran’s spells for Misao. He’s missing some you’d expect a necromancer to have (Control Undead, anyone??), and some don’t work like you’d expect (this one possibly, plus his Animate Dead is actually Summon Undead). And that’s not even counting that I wanna have Misao learn some cleric spells too!
