My players finally kicked the bucket. After more than two years of bi-weekly sessions.

Sadly, it was a result of a string of bad choices. Wasn't as climactic as I'd have hoped, but they were satisfied, which is what's most important. :)

They're super hyped for their new characters, so now I just have to come up with a good story. I got notes and lists of all the things they did, so hopefully I can make that play into the new story.

It's crazy to come in here and not seeing BESW online or any messages from BESW either. :P

Oh, I just had to scroll up far enough :P I was getting worried for a minute.

Q: Which of the Arcanist's features lets it swap out its prepared spells?

I've heard that the Arcanist, Pathfinder's Wizard/Sorcerer Hybrid, has the batspit insane feature of being a Wizard that can swap out its prepared spells during the day, effectively being a Wizard with none of the drawbacks of being a Wizard. However, now that I look over its class features and ...

Someone please let me know if I am thinking of completely the wrong class so I can pre-emptively make this question sane if it is insane.

doppelgreener

00:59

Looks like I had the right class. Phew.

Magician

02:53

Fiasco status: successful. 3 out of 4 NPCs dead. The worst one sort of won.

doppelgreener

@Magician Beautiful. What happened? (I don't know much about Fiasco other than... it's a fiasco, for everyone, and the lucky people wind up only slightly worse off than how they started.)

Magician

Do you want the short version, or the long one? The long will require some setting explanation, I suspect.

(also, PCs played Fate. It was NPCs who had a session of Fiasco)

doppelgreener

Oh. XD

Short version?

Magician

PCs paired up with NPCs via compels. They all wanted various things from one another. It was all happening in the Grand Sanatorium, the retirement home for the... not-fully-dead. In the end, one NPC got his revenge and jumped off a cliff. Another failed to torch the entire place as he wanted, because his peg leg had been stolen. But he burned a wing down, with himself in it.

Third one dissolved into goo after being poisoned with the nasty substance that was hidden in the peg leg (that was the revenge). And the fourth one almost got dismembered for spare body parts by the third, but escaped unscathed, tossed the head doctor into the flames off-screen, and is positioned to take charge of the Sanatorium now.

PCs got what they wanted and are ready to sail away forever.

Smurfton

03:12

So, I watched that episode of gravity falls, took notes, and now I'm struggling to write the answer :/

Also, damn, Magician. Did the PCs see all that, or was it behind the scenes?

Magician

The PCs accomplished most of that, even if they didn't always know what it was they were accomplishing.

Setting up a situation where a bunch of people want things from one another, but lack the capacity to get them, and throwing PCs into the mix, worked out wonderfully.

Shalvenay

hey @Smurfton

Smurfton

04:03

Hey @Shalvenay.

Shalvenay

@Smurfton how're things going?

Smurfton

I'm going to answer a question! yay

Doesn't happen often

Shalvenay

heheh

sidenote: what systems do you play in/want to play in?

Smurfton

Actually played:
Paranoia XP
D&D 3.5, but fairly light on the rules

Want to play:
D&D 5 sounds interesting
Fate sounds cool
nWoD has a nice setting

Shalvenay

ah.

sadly, the only stuff I have in ready-to-run shape is a one-shot 3.5e dungeon that's well...rather weird and somewhat rule-bendy :) (it inspired multiple Stack questions, even)

Smurfton

04:11

I'm more here because I enjoy learning about RPGs I haven't played, if that makes sense

Shalvenay

yeah

I want to get into a GURPS or perhaps Burning Wheel game sometime, but just haven't found a group for that

also, I've been told I should give Fiasco a shot, and it might help me if I actually played FAE instead of half-heartedly GMing it

Smurfton

lol

Good luck getting a group together

Shalvenay

right now, I play 2e, 3.5e, and 5e...I also have some 0e (i.e. D&D in it's pre AD&D state, best I can tell) experience, and have dabbled in RFS

trogdor

@doppelgreener eh, it was worth a shot

Smurfton

Pre-D&D is Chainmail, iirc

@trogdor I've watched that episode and taken notes. That question is being answered as we speak

trogdor

04:17

ah, cool

:)

Shalvenay

@Smurfton there was a phase of evolution between the wargaming origins of D&D and what was published as AD&D

names for it vary, though

(the dead giveaway that you're dealing with D&D pre-1e is that the classes are only open to humans)

Adeptus

@Shalvenay Yes, in pre-AD&D (or 1e/2e era basic D&D) races were the same as classes. If you wanted to play an elf, you took the elf class.

Shalvenay

@Adeptus yeah, what's the name around here for pre-AD&D D&D btw?

Adeptus

The community ads from 2015 are still being served. I don't know if this is normal during some kind of transition phase or if it's a legit but, as I never would have noticed were it not for the new ad sizes. In any case, this is definitely not a 2016 ad: That comment link resolves to Communit...

I have only seen like, clips of it

@Ahriman many people just use a fake name or a nickname. Nevertheless, it's like Facebook too.

Ahriman

True

Nothing to do about it now

eimyr

Yeah. Sorry about it.

It's the first time someone used one of my Docs while logged in. I didn't know it would log someone not as "Anonymous [animal]"

@Miniman I did some poor man's optimisation!

@Miniman My conclusion is that there is absolutely nothing that a Valor bard can do that a Lore bard can't do better at any level if he's smart about it.

BESW

This is why I have two Google accounts, and one of them says I'm Eric Merit Fairchild.

eimyr

09:46

Where does the name come from?

Did you just decide to make it up or does it have significance, @BESW?

BESW

It's a collection of in-jokes from my past.

eimyr

cool

I only assume mine says Eimyr .

Not entirely sure this is correct.

Miniman

10:33

@eimyr Except use a weapon, surely? Extra Attack doubles the power of the attack action, and that's hard to beat.

eimyr

@Miniman Except use a weapon, but using a cantrip instead scales better (Extra attack vs mutiple damage increases).

@Miniman before lvl 6 or after lvl 11 there is no reason to use a weapon over a cantrip unless you have really high attack and a magic weapon or all your cantrips target saves the enemy is great with.

Toshinou Kyouko

10:49

gotta think of who you want to RP first

rather than focus on stats, imo

Guiding Light

11:02

> Paizo's SRD is exemplary.

The PRD or the third-party-run d20PFSRD?

eimyr

@GuidingLight d20pfsrd (thought the PRD is not too bad either)

Miniman

@eimyr As far as I can tell, average damage on weapon attacks is higher at every level than cantrip damage, even if you max your casting stat first.

Depending on the weapon, cantrip damage could be higher at level 11, but not any other time.

eimyr

11:19

For a 16 DEX bard with a rapier an attack deals 1d8+3 dmg

even if I go to 20, that's 1d8 + 5

Miniman

Also, unless I've missed something, Lore Bard AC can't touch Valor Bard AC.

Vs 1d10. It has a higher average and is much more reliable.

eimyr

1d8+5 averages 11.5

At level 11 Fire bolt has 3d10, averaging 15.5

Tashio

1d8+5 x 2

eimyr

Thanks

Tashio

don't forget those extra attacks

well extra attack not multiple

eimyr

11:22

But I only get one extra attack

at lvl 17th it's 4d10, which is 22 I think.

Tashio

yea but that's 23 damage at 5/6

that's without any magical weapons to boot

eimyr

I think that Valor has great advantage at lvl 6, but then the cantrip catches up

Tashio

+1/2 magical weapon and it takes off even more

Miniman

@eimyr Ok, at level 17 the cantrip wins. But at level 17 this kind of thing is not really worth thinking about anymore.

eimyr

Agreed.

But!

Valor bard has trouble using his bonus action consistently.

Miniman

11:26

They both do.

eimyr

Generally, you want to use it for music, unless you have Cutting words, where you can burn a reaction to do the same.

(almost the same)

Tashio

valor also gets to add bardic inspiration die to damage if they want

and at high levels can attack as a bonus action on top of a cast

eimyr

At high levels you want to attack with your Bigby's as a bonus action.

Cutting Words is a defensive tool, while Valor's +damage is offensive.

And Lore could get Spiritual Weapon at lvl 6

Miniman

Good point! But offense is almost invariably superior to defense in D&D.

Tashio

Yup

eimyr

11:29

which would be a poor man's Bigby's Hand

Tashio

and you won't always have spells available

Miniman

Spiritual Weapon at level 6 is a fair point, but I don't think it's enough to say Lore is objectively better.

eimyr

Maybe I've been swayed by me perception of the character's role.

my*

Miniman

My impression was that you wanted to be a gish.

In general, the Bard's role is pretty much whatever you want it to be.

eimyr

at 14th I think that an attack after a spell as bonus is... wel... underwhelming

Miniman

11:37

Oh, I agree. I just don't think it's something to judge the whole archetype on.

I mean, I have a whole rant on why the Eldritch Knight doesn't work. The Valor Bard is pretty tough to come up with good complaints about.

Tashio

@Miniman What's your main problem with EK?

Miniman

Not one I'm going to try to get into on a mobile phone with bad reception that's rapidly running out of data, right before I need to sleep.

Tashio

lol no worries

eimyr

Generally my stream of thought was like that: A cantrip is almost as good as a single attack at any level but it's ranged and safe. With War Caster, I can use it for attacks of opportunity as reaction, which is great and I can hold a Whip (even without martial proficiency) just to threaten a huge area while not using it to attack and blast people instead. Getting cutting frees my bonus action to get even more oopmh turn after turn.

I also need less +2 ability improvements (because I'm not attacking and don't need as much DEX), so I can grab Moderately Armored and turtle up just like Valor. This brings my defense on par.

Meanwhile, I get 2 more spells at lvl 6th Magical Secret, will be proficient in a lot of skills for RP awesomeness and still have an option of grabbing a crossbow or something and shoot quite competently as a backup.

Tashio

See that just seems cheesy to me

Miniman

11:49

The whip trick doesn't work, the ranged thing is better with a longbow, staying at range and AoOs are opposite goals, and Moderately Armored comes way later than when it's most effective or slows your casting stat down.

Tashio

Holding a whip for the extended range on aoo

eimyr

Why doesn't it work?

Miniman

Doesn't work since the errate, anyway.

eimyr

Of which I was unaware. What does it say?

Tashio

2ndly AoO are not as prevalent as in Pf/3.5

Miniman

11:50

Reach only extends your reach for attacks with that weapon.

eimyr

Not for AoOs with that weapon?

Tashio

makes sense

otherwise monsters can have some stupid reach for AoO

eimyr

media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/Errata_PH.pdf

this one says otherwise...

is there an errata to this errata?

Miniman

No. But you're reading it differently to me.

It adds 5 feet to your reach for AoOs with IT.

eimyr

Great.

W hen a hostile creature’s movement provokes an

opportunity attack from you, you can use your reac-
tion to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making

an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting

time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

Miniman

11:53

You don't get to trigger AoOs 10 feet away then take them with something else.

eimyr

From War Caster

Hmmm...

I find it reasonable, yet I can't put a specific rule that I know that would say so.

Miniman

It says it in the reach property.

eimyr

I thought that the whip would cause the creature's movement to provoke an AoO, then instead of making an attack with the whip I cast a cantrip.

I get why I couldn't do it, but maybe I just lack the hard reading ability for DnD.

Tashio

rules as written you are right eimyr

Miniman

Not sure that's true. Reach adds 10 feet to your reach for AoOs with a reach weapon, not for provoking AoOs.

Tashio

11:58

as a DM i'd be going no not happening, you're not even proficient in the weapon therefore trying to use it in that manner is not fitting

eimyr

If that's the case I can't use it even with a whip - basically my AoO threat would be 5 feet, even if I could use that AoO with 10 feet range.

Tashio

Reach (p. 147).
This property also determines your reach for opportunity attacks with a reach weapon

That would mean the threatening range of AoO

otherwise would be useless to mention that

because you would only ever threaten the 5" around you

Miniman

@eimyr I think you're separating provoking and taking AoOs where the system doesn't.

eimyr

@Miniman Yes, I think I do.

Would that mean I get to AoO with the whip anyone in 10', but with a spell anyone within 5' only?

Miniman

I think so? Pretty sure it's what was meant, at least. It's definitely a bit disfunctional.

eimyr

12:03

It's weird.

I actually think it would make sense for the War Caster feat to work whenever I get an AoO, not only movement related.

As a "Aha!" moment for you.

Miniman

It does work whenever you get an AoO. But there are some weird "AoOs not labelled as such" that it doesn't work for.

eimyr

e.g. it wouldn't work with Sentinel.

Miniman

Nor Mage Slayer, yeah.

eimyr

Which is even weirder.

Also, enemies won't run away from a caster when they are already within 5', that's just stupid.

Unless I use some sort of fear condition.

Miniman

Depends on the caster, depends on the enemies.

Miniman

12:20

Wow, I gotta sleep. Talk to you guys later.

Polyducks

Ayyy gang

Hey @eimyr :)

Still min-maxing your bard?

Tashio

14:32

Yup

RobertF

15:15

Been playing around on the Kobold Fight Club web page (KFC allows you to calculate appropriate challenge ratings for PCs in D&D encounters). The party size menu only goes up to 12 PCs, but it's easy to extrapolate to bigger parties. For example, a group of 720 1st level PCs would find an Adult Red Dragon (18,000 XPs) an Easy challenge!

That seems about right. A local lord would have to raise a sizeable army of 1st level fighters to take on a big dragon like that. And if a fraction of those troops are killed in horrible ways by the dragon the rest will likely flee.

Toshinou Kyouko

lol

It'd take a long time to get to your turn again

RobertF

15:32

Yes - hmmm if DMing a combat encounter like this, think I'd make it a dice roll-a-thon with no turns. How many men can surround a dragon on a hex map? Maybe 20? The PCs start rolling 20 d20s and damage dice at the same time, while the DM rolls for dragon attacks. Everyone rolls at once & keeps track of damage inflicted/casualties.

Toshinou Kyouko

heh

RobertF

15:52

Actually, couldn't a lot of "theater of the mind" low-level mass combats be handled this way to expedite gameplay? A lot of area effect magic spells could be handled on the fly since they often amount to rolling a bunch of save & damage dice.

Smurfton

Apparently, rapid rep gain is incredibly distracting. I have no idea how high rep users get anything done

Ahriman

How so?

Polyducks

@RobertF Yes. Faster combat and removing useless rolls is great :)

Smurfton

I hit the daily max yesterday with ome answer. I was struggling to stop staring at my rep the whole time.

Might be partially because I was close to being able to see review queues

RobertF

Can we cash in our rep pts? Or sell them to other posters? :) I mean are rep pts really worth anything in the real world?

Ahriman

15:59

nope

Toshinou Kyouko

you can use them to get answers

super-bounties

Smurfton

Yes, obviously. Rep is proof that someone on the internet thought you were .... cool.

2

Toshinou Kyouko

B-)

Polyducks

@RobertF It lets you interact with the site in a much more meaningful way. Which is why I don't have much input into the site.

Smurfton

That too

RobertF

16:01

@Polyducks - I'll sell you 500 of my rep pts for $10.

Polyducks

Deal. Gibbe passwerd

RobertF

Well I was thinking we'd contact one of the Stack Exchange sysadmin people to conduct the pt transfer after you mail the $10 check to me. :)

Maybe posters with low rep should be able to form a union & pool their rep pts?

Polyducks

I can imagine exactly what kind of response you'd get from SE sysadmin for such a request.

To be honest, I don't like how SE works, but I know why it does and that it's very effective. It's just not a social media platform like people want it to be.

Toshinou Kyouko

How much do mod accounts go for these days

I'll take 10.50

Smurfton

More seriously, try suggesting edits, @Polyducks. It's slow, but you get 2 rep per. Shouldn't take too long to reach 25 that way.

RobertF

16:13

I think by using rep pts, SE is trying to avoid the more unruly posts & responses at other forums like rpg.net.

In truth, for some of the SE sites (like statistics/machine learning in CrossValidated) I bet a high rep would be worth something more tangible. Say if a potential employer reads your posts.

Polyducks

@smurfton ah, I've done that. There are countless typos everywhere which make answers unreadable - however you need to change at least 5 characters for it to be an edit.

@Smurfton I'll try snatching someone else's answers though. Thanks!

@RobertF I wouldn't want a potential employer going anywhere near my web presence!

Smurfton

Yeah, and it's a nice system. The only problem, and it isn't much of one, is that rep favors the knowledgeable and questioning over the dedicated.

Polyducks

I think that's the point.

It doesn't do much for a positive feedback loop though, which is why people can get really frustrated with the site.

It's methodical and computed, not empathetic and caring

RobertF

Although if someone pisses you off (who gave me a -1 on my response?) you can give someone negative pts just to be spiteful.

Comments get nuked on this site which I don't like - on the Sci-Fi/Fantasy SE you'll see 10+ comments for some questions/answers.

Smurfton

What I mean is that if someone couldn't come up with an answer or question to save their life (after a while), even if they dedicated ten hours a day to helping the site, unlike, say, a wiki, they wouldn't actually be able to get much done.

RobertF

16:21

You mean if you've upvoted a lot of posters on the site, but not asked any questions, you're stuck in a low rep limbo?

Polyducks

Ooh. Yeah, good point.

I suggest a new system where we just press buttons to hug each other.

Smurfton

Well, if you dedicated ten hours a day to a wiki, just to clean things up, you'd end up a mod by the end of the week.

@RobertF Comments are supposed to get nuked on old questions, outside of meta, unless they improve the answers. (With the assumption that old questions no longer need clarifying)

RobertF

@Smurfton - Are the pts you've earned on comments nuked as well when the comment is deleted?

Smurfton

You don't get points from comments. Badges stay, though.

Besides, high rated comments survive purges, for the most part

RobertF

@Polyducks - Not a bad idea actually - what about buttons that signal to someone: "Awesome question!" or "Great response!"

Smurfton

16:28

Isn't that what up votes are supposed to mean?

RobertF

@Smurfton - I can see how posting numerous comments with a friend could be abused if the pts did stick.

Smurfton

You don't get rep from comments

Srsly

RobertF

Well I meant a more personal positive message or an emoticon rather than an impersonal upvote.

Smurfton

Oh, right.

RobertF

You can upvote comments - but those pts just go to earning badges is that right?

Smurfton

16:32

Yes

Am I the only person who (before they could see votes) would see the number of votes go down and think that someone down voted them, even though it was a not refreshing thing?

RobertF

You mean if somebody retracted their upvote?

Smurfton

No, if you hit back on your browser, the value from when you loaded the page the first time is displayed, even if you had seen it update.

That too, I guess

When does the day transition for SE?

@Polyducks there's some low hanging question edit fruit right now, actually

RobertF

I have seen my question upvotes not sticking when I browse to a different webpage and then return.

Smurfton

Yes, that.

RobertF

16:48

I don't know why that happens.

Maybe there's a slight lag while the SE server updates rep scores for questions/answers?

Smurfton

Maybe

I thought it was browser caching

Q: What's the difference between Monster Manuals for different editions of D&D?

I own 5E Monster Manual. I also have Monster Manual I, code number 2009 from 1E. I can see the difference between these two versions but I'm wondering about what's been added and removed in the versions between 1-5. I do understand the monster stats would look different depending on each version...

Smurfton

No, not really.

@Smurfton by the way hello I don't think we've met before

Smurfton

No, I dont think so. Nice to meet you.

@JoshuaAslanSmith Unless I'm not seeing something, aren't you contradicting yourself?

Joshua Aslan Smith

Tool rec only recently went out of scope and it's something I believe we did well and 2as within our ability to operate whereas idea generation questions are really off base I feel

I have resisted the urge to answer tool recs that come in out of respect for the order of the site

Smurfton

Smurfton

An idea for that question is to change it to stylistic differences between books. Can't make that happen without prompting, though

Joshua Aslan Smith

@Smurfton thats certainly a better question for the MM question to be but it still might be opinion based, and closed as such.

Smurfton

Really? How so?

I'm not seeing the opinion involved in identifying differences in writing

And major formatting changes, I suppose

Joshua Aslan Smith

@Smurfton an aesthetic judgement is intrinsically subjective even if there could be a consensus (we are not a great platform for consensus forming) The issue is he doesn't seem to be asking about the mechanical differences which would be something we could answer (even then comparing all D&D editions would get tedious and probably end up like a list )

I'm actually running around getting ready to go teach a class I'm not prepared for.

Smurfton

Good luck!

I do have a lovely new challenge with my RPG group, though: too many players.

Smurfton

Any thoughts on posting an answer that doesn't so that I can provide materials for image editing to anyone who has the time?

In the last month I've doubled the number of people who are liable to show up on any given week.

Smurfton

wow, well done.

BESW

Well, actually, it's one of my players who started inviting her friends.

@Smurfton Do it, but make sure you include context so people know what you're doing.

@Smurfton I'll be getting the originals from the artist over on WB who made their ad, so I'll post all of the constituent images in meta, also.

@JoshuaAslanSmith thanks--I'm in no way a real designer, so all feedback/criticism/do-it-yourself-ism is welcome =)

Jawa scavenger/outlaw is a completely valid RPG character concept. THIS IS A SUBTWEET DIRECTED AT MISTER SCOTTERICK VON WEGENER.

@nitsua60 Well, I kind of feel like I wasted the last hour now. Oh well.

@BESW you take more on board?

I'm pretty sure that if you said "Oi, RPG.SE folks, come play with me eh?" you'd get a nice and orderly queue.

Barring timezone constraints, but you get the idea.

I'm actually pretty sure there would be at least one person adjusting their daily routine to fit into your game.
