Part of why I stick with the game is it’s a way to force myself to come out of my shell in a low risk way. But it is still a struggle some times.

i actually really like this.

Re: Problematic Reactions to Antagonists

pretending an antagonist's rp didn't happen so they can continue to rp an antagonist is just a whole complex can of worms that i can't really confidently wrap my head around.

Re: Problematic Reactions to Antagonists

If you feel disrespected because someone sensibly IC and runs away from your group of fully warded hostiles, maybe you need to take a step back and reevaluate the story you're trying to tell /with/ others, rather than /at/ others. It's very insincere and reductionist to dismiss that people have act...

Re: Hostaliser should tag entire party hostile

i guarantee that people will change their behavior when they hostile someone and see 6 people turn red.

seeing that someone is in a party is not the same as seeing who they're in the party with. please don't be silly.

Re: Hostaliser should tag entire party hostile

this can be used to metagame who is in a party with someone dislike The alternative is rulebreaking. You have to hostile people when you PVP them, if you mass area hostile your summons will kill people not involved. i guess i control my summons enough for this to not be an issue. i also don't see h...

Re: Problematic Reactions to Antagonists

you basically can't rp a badass if you're not good at the game i disagree with this mindset, instead of treating a loss as your character not being as strong or awesome as you imagine them to be, think of it as the other character simply being even more of a badass just because one guy managed to k...

Re: The Amendment to Fugue Rules seems flawed

Prior to this rule update, you'd have people who fought each other die and go to the fugue and one of them would go "I bet you're the type of person who doesn't even remember what happens in the fugue" as a sorry attempt at one-upping people. I'm glad this practice has been killed. We don't need pen...

Re: Discussion: Custom saving throws

Most "good" builds can absolutely get to the 37 threshold of saves. Gearing uni is often superfluous because fort is generally high due to con stacking (and even higher depending on base class). Admittedly, I do factor PfA into my saves but that is an hours/lvl spell that even mundanes can easily ma...

Re: Time it takes to reach LVL 30 as a Commoner.. (A class that needs change.)

I don't think commoner is in need of buffs because it's largely a meme class that doesn't contribute anything meaningful narratively that another class can't, aside from saying something like, "I'm a master blacksmith AND alchemist." Beyond this, the class also often feels very meta when roleplayed ...

Re: Roleplay Advice for a Thief

I have similarly never seen a thief roleplay losing. People criticize those that kill thieves, but every thief I've seen would also rather die than give back what they stole when confronted. Doubly so if they stole an item, since they know that killing them won't let people get the item back. To ref...

I have never had good thief roleplay. Never. Not once.

I could've dedicated my time and energy to more interesting plots, so I'm not very grateful for th...

Re: Summoning. Cleric VS Mages.

Cleric summoners still have the advantage of prayer/bless, easier AoV access depending on domains, and can scroll mass zoo buffs (but this is, admittedly, a tedious gold sink). They can also umd/scroll mass haste, but this was true prior to sequencers. Overall, the sequencer update was certainly mor...
