hosed up that you can be either a half-elf or an elf, but the game doesn't let you make an orc

I mean, if you played any Planescape at all you probably will get that game over, but it is still funny

It's not even underestimating her it's just her motivations and hatred of you is 100 percent clear and out in the open and you still thought doing her a favor would help you somehow despite her history of straight up murdering anything that is even remotely a threat to her.

I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY
I put in 5 hours of FF16 over the weekend. I'm in the transition between the Twinside confrontation and whatever comes next. I try to play this when I have a block of time longer than an hour available. I've talked about the game before and how I think it is my GotY at the moment.

3 games I currently have on my Sony wishlist are Forspoken, Spider-Man 2, and God of War: Ragnarök. I'm waiting for God of War and Forspoken to drop below $30 when on sale.

I am hype for spider-man 2. I've been debating buying it on release or waiting for a sale. The $70 price tags always make me hesitate. I wish it had a coop mode, but it looks to be single-player. Kraven looks good.

A phone game I play when waiting somewhere is Merge Survival.

It is just a stupid little merge game that caught my eye and doesn't take a lot of time. It is like a fidget toy. I do enjoy it though.

Hopefully this is what Seb wanted, but I do think it is a gotcha admin challenge. If I'm right it was fun posting with most of you. You can find me on discord. 👋

2e AD&D had a spell called "nap" where you cast it and slept for an hour and got all your spells back like you'd slept for an entire night. it was completely, terribly, broken

From purpleworm:

quote:

Nap (Alteration)
Sphere: Time
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: One creature/level
Saving Throw: None
Creatures affected by this spell are put to sleep for one hour. Upon awakening, the creature is as refreshed as if he had slept for eight hours. The affected person recovers lost hit points as if he rested for a full night. Wizards can memorize spells as if real time had passed.

Because the rest is so complete and rejuvenating, a character does not feel fatigued after waking. Attempts to use nap more than once in an 18-hour period are ineffective (the character simply is not sleepy). Only willing subjects can be affected by nap.

The material components are a scrap of pillow ticking, a feather, and a pebble that the caster has kept in his pocket for seven nights.

It was, indeed, insanely broken (as were most things from Tome of Magic). Wizards still had to slog away with memorization if they'd cast the day before but this gave them time to do so. The big drawback was being Time sphere which was pretty rare. Numbers was even more gamebreaking with its 4th level portal spell that let you hop the whole party around wherever you needed. And even MORE broken was the priest of Thoth from legends & lore who had Numbers sphere and always on Detect Lie, no save. Yes, I played campaigns with people playing them.

man bg3 really does expose how annoying the 5e rules are

got my AC up to 25 at level 3 with mirror imageand the AI is still just rolling 19s and 20s anyway and having me roll 5s on all my concentration saves which should be my second best stat cause its all full RNG

in the tabletop you just houserule these moments or have something fun happen instead but in the game you just die

I kind of dislike the big visible dice roll because it makes it very hard to resist reloading a save for rolls I actually care about (especially if I get unusually unlucky).

I prefer the ones that just happen passively as you walk around. It's easier to just let those be as the result of random chance (though I'd still prefer to not see them at all, at least by default).

It'd kind of be nice to not even have it tell you whether a particular dialogue choice is "Persuasion" or "Intimidation" or whatever, and instead let you figure it out yourself from context, and just have the scene play out in a way that doesn't explicitly tell you that you succeeded or failed.

you can turn this off in most crpgs these days but I'm not sure about bg3, check the game/accessibility options
