@keithcurtis How is using Disadvantage to get more dice compatible with the outlined constraints? Intentionally being worse is definitely covered under not being a burden.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@KorvinStarmast Not known at this point, we will only find out after the first session.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@KorvinStarmast Disadvantage is a very specific mechanic in 5e (roll 2 d20, take the worse result), so this was not meant in a general 'include a disadvantage' way.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@thedarkwanderer If you have a build that uses disadvantage to make the character stronger or better, please answer. Otherwise, I think it's clear that not weakening oneself is included in 'is not a burden to the party'. No? Anyway, clarified.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@thedarkwanderer updated the question to rule out self inflicted disadvantage.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@thedarkwanderer The judgement criteria is the number of dice that are regularly rolled over an adventure day. I explicitely wrote it's not for a single attack but 'all the time', e.g. over the whole adventuring day.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@KorvinStarmast No, I haven't because she was clear she wants to throw many dice in combat, and I also wrote that this is for attack. I clarified it now.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@keithcurtis in the question, it already says it shouldn't be for a nova (once) but multiple times during the adventure day.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

@Szega It does, if each attack uses lots of dice :).

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 19:12

It should not be a burden on the party but it doesn’t need to be optimized to the max.

Discussion on Mala's lots of dice que…

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:07

Have a nice day.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:06

Ok thanks.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:05

it's also in the plain clear text of the question

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:05

Yes, I get all that, but that's answered in the not being a burden to the partyt

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:02

DO I need help outside of that unfairly closed question?

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:02

I really don't understand what you are trying to achieve.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:01

So how would rewriting the optional motivation part of the question help me?

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:01

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:01

I thought you wanted to help me to get it reopened

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:00

mxy killed my question

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:00

I really don't understand

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 18:00

You seem to help me with stuff not related ot the question

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:59

Yes, but how would this help?

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:58

The question is fully answerable with that.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:58

Everything that's important is in the question and constraints section.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:58

Why? The whole motivation part is not even required for the question.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:56

That seems un-rpg.se like

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:55

I really don't get it. You want a transcript of the conversation instead of the constraints clearly spelled out in the constraints section of the question?

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:54

the missing part is the element that you think is missing that is NOT in the question text

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:53

i.e. was already answered in the question

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:53

Yes, but all that was answerable with a copypaste

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:52

Please write it in a simple phrase that even a moron like me can understand, and that is not answered with a copy-paste from my question.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:50

just stuff that was in the question

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:50

I got that but you never mentioned the actual issue

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:49

You invited me to chat, you bombared me with questions where the answer was clear in the text of the question

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:48

Yeah you two ganging up on me was unpleasant but I was still hoping it could be saved

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:47

@doppelgreener

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:46

Why did you remove this from the main room?

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:46

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:43

thanks

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:43

@NautArch It is right there in the question.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:42

Or, if not know, to be able to deduce

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:42

@NautArch Yes. That's why it's not an obvious question to answer, but something that experts here would be expected to know.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:41

*constraints

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:40

It's in the constraits, very clearly and obviously spelled out

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:40

it's right there

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:40

How can this be misunderstood to mean anything except rolling lots of dice all the time

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:39

@doppelgreener The 'many dice' should not be only in a nova or rarely used ability. It doesn't matter if its a caster, a melee attacker or whatever, just that you throw a lot of dice all the time, all throughout the adventure day.

> A good answer has a build that is viable. It doesn't need to be CharOp levels of optimised, but it shouldn't be a burden on the party either. Therefore, self-inflicted disadvantage (as mentioned in comments) is not in the solution space, as well as similar self-harming methods, unless they actually improve the combat capabilities of the character.

Mala

Sep 25, 2017 17:37

yes it is
