Q: Establishing bonds with NPCs

ShalvenayWe're at the point in our 2-players-and-a-GM Dungeon World game where one of the PCs is working with a rather regular cast of friendly NPCs in addition to the other PC. This means that the PCs don't always get to explore their Bonds with each other during the course of sessions, kind of starving...

Q: Are objects subject to critical hits?

I've been thinking of whether a Robin's Laws-like categorisation of GM types and interests exists, and recently found that yes there is. While of course it's imperfect, I've found it of some use and figured it's worth sharing.

It's worth the reading, but I have always been skeptical regarding those classifications. Mostly because they do not represent the problems that comes with each category IMO.
Example that come to mind: one of my current (and soon to be ex-)GM who is 80% a Duelist. But also an unsufferable ... (word with 4 letters beginning with a c) and tends to be quite petty.
You can match players/GM more or less with one or several of those categories, but you need to also know the problems that may come with it

@TrevorFait I think it depends much more strongly on how this hook is going to affect the story/game mechanics. Like, is this a threat the players might have to mechanically react to, or is it just a plot hook? Or some of both? Are they going to be immediately exposed to this premise as a pressing concern, or is this more of a long-term campaign thing, where over multiple sessions, the characters occasionally hear about such occurrences?

Yes. Page 13 of the Hero's Handbook tells you to use the ability mod when you see an abbreviated ability name.
Use your ability scores and the table below to figure what your
Ability Modifiers (also called Ability Mods) are. When you see
an abbreviation like STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, or CHA, that means
your Ability Mod (–5 to +5), not your Ability Score (1–20).

@TrevorFait Some non-malevolent cults are mystery cults. Groups of people that study or are fascinated with some subject or practice. They have initiation rites to protect their knowledge and membership. E.g. a cult of nature that has discovered a spring that has some mystical quality they study or use.
Careful with cults though. Some people really don't like exploring the delineation between cult and religion. Even if it is only incidental.

Is this question a dupe of this? It seems like it is if they're including damage and not just modifiers.
 
GcL
GcL
Nah. What's the biggest bonus and what's the highest value are related, but not the same question.
Even though I would expect the same answer, maybe there's a neat feat or situation where the highest bonus doesn't give you the most damage. E.g sneak attack
 
NautArch
NautArch
@GcL Right, but they seem to be asking to include damage and not just the modifier. By equating a feature that provides max damage to a modifier, then isn't it asking the same question?
 
GcL
GcL
6:05 PM
Also, could be some magic items that do a bunch of damage, but aren't adding to the damage bonus. Maybe they add damage dice.
@NautArch If max damage that can be done is equal to the largest static damage modifier, yes. I don't think those are the same though.
Sneak attack isn't a static bonus to damage, and maybe it out damages the highest static bonus.
Or a magic item that inflicts damage dice or poison or whatever.
 
NautArch
NautArch
@GcL Okay, so it's reasonable for the question to include a feature that maximizes damage rolls to be considered a static modifier?
I mean, anyone can ask what they want with the assumptions they want, it just seems weird to think of it in that way.
 
John Clifford
John Clifford
Do any of you handle crits differently from the rules? I don't like that sometimes a crit can end up doing crap for damage, so I generally do it as a full-value damage die + a rolled damage die.
So at the absolute minimum the crit deals 1 damage more than a normal attack would have been able to.
(in 5e, should say)
 
NautArch
NautArch
@JohnClifford We don't, and it does feel very underwhelming when a crit delivers less damage than a 'normal' hit.
 
GcL
GcL
@NautArch That sounds pretty variable to me. I don't think a feature like that is in the static damage question.
or at least sounds dependent on a roll.

@NautArch I do not think the questions are duplicates. The static damage question appears to be asking for the largest static +X that can be applied. I don't think there's a feature in the question that talks about maximizing damage rolls.

@GcL Thta was my thought, But an answerer askeda bout including 'max damage' as a static modifier and OP confirmed. Which made me think that if they're asking for damage+modifiers, it's a dupe (even when damage is static as max...because that's often the assumption in those questions.)

@GcL OP just changed their selected answer, but yeah. I agree that as it stands it is asking for modifiers without damage rolls (whether or not they're maxed.) Which is definitely NOT a dupe. But if they were to include (as one answer did), then I think it's a dupe.

John Clifford
It's not quite the same. Basically in each level you have an inbox of items (numbers and/or letters) and an outbox, and have access to a series of simple programming commands (take from inbox, put in outbox, copy to, copy from, add, subtract, bump up, bump down, jump, jump if negative, jump if zero)
And there's a goal you have to make a program for, like multiplying all inbox values by 8, or outboxing every 3 items in order from smallest to largest.
You start out with just a couple of commands, and in later levels you get the ability to do copying/bumping by reference rather than specific slots (you get slots on the floor you can store values in)

@JohnClifford Huh, this sounds like the only flash game I still semi-regularly find myself playing: Manufactoria
Although it uses an exaggeratedly simple model of computation even compared to that.
In Manufactoria, you basically construct queue automata from conveyor belts, branches and stampers. The earlier missions give assignments to either accept or discard objects based on their tape contents, but later there are also missions where one has to manipulate the tape contents.
 
John Clifford
John Clifford
7:03 PM
Yeah, sort of a similar concept.
 
kviiri
kviiri
Lots of the difficulty of Manufactoria comes from its unusual model of computation: branching mechanisms consume symbols from the beginning of the tape, while stampers that add new symbols put them at the end of the tape. This mechanism is Turing-complete, giving the designers a very wide assortment of problems to throw at the player... but also makes even the simplest task a challenge of creative bookkeeping.

The premise is that the site has games on it but they're incomplete and you have to write code to finish them so they work as described.

@vicky_molokh I think the provider covers about 80% of it, but there's an element of whimsy that may be missing from the description.

@Someone_Evil Ugh, it is. Yeah, I guess go ahead @Medix2. Up to OP to include, but very much seems like adding in max damage via a trait is still adding in damage beyond modifiers.

Trevor Fait
Oh

I'm pretty sure overchannel is less damage than just Wild Magic

That question is turning into a bit of a mess. Or rather, an example of why optimisation questions often have a bunch of constraints

@Someone_Evil I was just thinking that and wondering if a vote too close was a bad idea...

@Medix2 I dno't think it's a bad idea, but a late one :(

true dat
at least gives OP time to address it without getting more answers in that aren't necessarily applicable
 
Medix2
Medix2
Not sure if too broad or unclear though
 
NautArch
NautArch
i'd probably lean unclear.
because we're not clear on the constraints :)
 
Medix2
Medix2
Oh that's definitely true
It's just funny that a lack of constraints is what makes it too broad

@Medix2 I tried to create a summary answer, but couldn't beat your numbers for spell attack; are you okay with me referencing your answer?

@DavidCoffron Definitely, go right ahead

@TrevorFait That would be a good question to ask on Arqade (the StackExchange site for video games)

@DavidCoffron I knew there was a solution with moonblade in there somewhere, good find!

Joust doesn't really have levels in the usual sense, it tracks "waves" but occasionally platform arrangement changes between waves.

@DavidCoffron Does a moonblade not to infinite damage?

@Medix2 Right; higher damage the more runes

@DavidCoffron I assume you used moonblade like you did in your answer here: rpg.stackexchange.com/a/119115/36521

@TrevorFait What's your school project?

@Medix2 It's a different rune (the 1d6 elemental damage only rather than that and the 1d6 slashing damage), but its the same result

@DavidCoffron I can't wait for the OP to clarify the criteria and I'll just be deleting my answer probably and others will be editing theirs

@TrevorFait That's the premise of Scream of the Shalka, so it'd probably make a solid Cthulhu Dark adventure.

@V2Blast So after all their promises about "if you buy WGtE you'll always have the newest version", they're just straight up giving the final version a different name so they can make people pay for it again?

Everything in this chat is permanently and publicly recorded, so unless whatever you're talking about is legal, it's really better if you don't share it.

No its not illegal
unless photo copying it to a doc is illegal

If you own the book, photocopying it is legal, but sharing that copy with anyone else isn't.

Q: How many spells can a level 1 wizard learn?

Polar019 the BearI’m kind of new to the game and I want to make a wizard, but I can’t understand the part of the hero’s handbook (pg.29) where it says: “Pick a number of spells from this page equal to 3 + INT” I have 17 + 3 INT, so what do I do?
