it occurs to me that we wont need to skip PAX South week, since we'd probably all be home before Tuesday? then again, I could be extremely exhausted afterward
last time I came back from a PAX, I wasn't really tired - more like in a state of utter serenity
Miss me? Find me on:

I'll be flying back Monday, and probably taking Tuesday off of work to rest and recover. PAX itself doesn't wear me out much, now that I've cut back the number of things I'm willing to wait in line for to just the absolute essentials. Well, except for West, where I'm running all over the city between theaters, up and down hills. But after South, the big cause of fatigue is the airplane ride itself. Those damn tiny seats, and the choice of flight related anxiety, or anxiety medication related side effects.
Anyway, I'll probably be fine by Tuesday night.

Just got back from this great japanese grill/sushi place, Double Knot (gotta go if you're in the Philly area). We were celebrating a friends graduation from college. Food was great (ate too much of it) and the cocktails were good (drank too much of it) so I'm gonna change into my jammies, drink some cider and maybe play some AssCreed Odyssey.
I have spent the day experimenting with homemade eggnog recipes. Mostly as an excuse to drink a great deal of rum.

It was a hell of a hit that he got in, though. Fucker would have one-shot you if not for Angus, and bloodied me through Rage.

I'm actually stating up each of those classes right now. Starting with a hexblade half elf with eventual gwm and elven accuracy. Gonna just if actually making the characters helps me make a decision.
The worst thing about building this Wizard is that I spent all that time running the math on which subclass "cut your costs for spells of [school] in half" feature saves you the most money, and other tricks for optimizing spell costs, and now it feels like a betrayal of that effort to start a future Abjurer with Shield and Mage Armor. But like hell am I not going to have those and expect to survive past 1st level.
Even though it's only 50gp of potential savings squandered, it still hurts.

in beast mode sure, i kind of expect that, but i mean in normal form. if at ten strength if i'm in the running for physically strongest party member, i feel like we just flip flopped on our usual structure.
Didn't have as much time as I thought I would because I forgot my buddies bachelor party was this last weekend, but I'm gonna continue today after work.
The Classes deal with Moving Heavy Shit:
- The Fighter has muscles. They lift the heavy shit. Sometimes simple solutions are good, everything doesn't have to be so damn complicated all the time.
- The Bard has friends. They ask them to come help lift the heavy shit.
- The Cleric has Bull's Strength. They asks their God to help them lift the heavy shit.
- The Druid has Wild Shape. They become a Gorilla and lift the heavy shit.
- The Wizard has Animate Objects. They make the heavy shit move itself.
- The Barbarian has muscles too. They lift the heavy shit. They lift it better when they get mad at how heavy it is. They hurl the heavy shit into the ocean. Hope that heavy shit wasn't something you needed.
- The Sorcerer thought about learning Animate Objects, but passed it over in favor of a more generally useful combat spell. They seduce a dragon and the dragon agrees to help move the heavy shit.
- The Ranger has friends (who are animals). They ask a moose to come help lift the heavy shit.
- The Paladin also has muscles. They lift the heavy shit, and everyone watches their sweaty muscles all like "Mmm, yes please" because the Paladin also has a Charisma Bonus.
- The Rogue knows people who know people. They insinuate that it would be very unfortunate if the heavy shit did not get moved. Concerned citizens arrive to move the heavy shit, entirely of their own free will.
- The Warlock knows people who know... ENTITIES. The heavy shit ceases to occupy whatever space was inconvenient. Don't think too hard about the details.
- The Monk has an understanding that the world and all of its contents is an illusion, and too great of focus on material things is the source of all suffering. They are comfortable leaving the heavy shit where it is.

to offer you a lot more flexibility, I can make strum a valor bard as a secondary option if we REALLY need it
like, I've been thinking hard about all your options for melee people and, well... let me list it out mostly because it helps me think about it
Paladin, Hexblade, Swashbuckler = ALL CHARISMA MELEE WTF (though hexblade needs it as a primary stat)
Fighter = n/a because you are definitely all fightered-out
Barbarian = big concerns about out of combat options
Moon druid = already covered
Melee Cleric = you're doing it right the heck now
Melee Ranger = ???? (dunno how you feel about this)
Monk = also doing this one right now
I guess the wildcard option is grabbing a race that starts with a shield (I guess that's... human? ugh) and going with some sort of rogue
and there's the Mystic, maybe?

the whole issue with strength in D&D is that it gets easily put aside in favor of useful spells, abilities, and whathaveyou
plus it can be supplemented as needed when it does become a thing
anyways, after further review on bard subclasses - I'll go College of Swords if we can't get another frontliner, and College of Glamour if we do
either work, given the motivation or origin of Strum's creator
in the case of the former, I'd have a pretty ridiculous AC
