And remember if that Wish of Inheritance price looks good, it doesn't work on non-equippable items like the Blade of Jack Jibbers.

There are good quality poles and good quality Poles. There are no good quality polls. Your hypothetical is without merit.

Reactions are pretty blunt instruments. I am not certain that adding more meaning to a weak feedback metric is useful. Is some one who gets a lot of thumbs up for sarcasm and humor more worthy of value than someone who posts correct and insightful comments on niche topics that don't garner a...

I wouldn't go with "almost mandatory". I would go with "optimal" or "most efficient". D&D should always strive for multiple paths to success depending on the tools available. Something SSG has sometimes done well and sometimes not.

Drinking pots when at 0 seems to be an over correction. While over correction may be on brand for SSG nerfs, I would prefer they just shorten the duration before one gets back to 1 point of ability. That gives some flexibility to tune the recovery to maintain the challenge rather than all or...

The Ghost trap can also be circumvented for 10 seconds using the lever (need to unlock, gets 1 use). I don't see this design as a problem. Putting a key with the trolls so even if you can't pick you can circumvent the trap would be advisable. In most cases traps should be more deadly but...

It appears to be some debug code that escaped into the released version of the code. But it would be nice to know what it was attempting to convey to the devs when uttered.

And thank goodness there is someone figuring that out. But they shouldn't have to. As soon as SSG put in rerolls they should have published drop rates. Imagine playing roulette where the slot for each number is a different (unknown) size and the roulette wheel is spun in a back room. When...

Without SSG posting loot tables, named items and drop rates, chest rerolls are a predatory scam that show a lack of ethics on their part (IMO ofc). This has been mentioned a lot over the past years. The only way SSG will stop this practice is if players stop rerolling and the $$ pipeline...

Their model for using Lam is flawed and they seem quite afraid of it. It should be used to test every update and generally have higher uptime. I expect part of the issue is that they manage it using very manual and time consuming processes instead of having an easy to maintain and automated...

Its not as big as a jump as one might expect. Ravenloft is marked as 31 but it is actually easier than that. My characters will often run it on R1 at 29 because it is not that difficult especially once you gear out in the L29 gear available from Ravenloft, Sharn, and Feywild (though my...

put some teeth into your rejoinder.

A lot of comments on how much the bite healing sucks*. I would prefer that it stayed healing but simply avoided the Reaper self healing penalty. That just makes sense to not apply a "self heal during combat" penalty for an effect that can only be used on one self during combat. If the...

Sorry, i knew I overstated when I said Everyone. I should have gone with the "vast majority'. Do you also disagree with the other points. Is it good that they have rare loot with undisclosed drop rates coupled with chest rerolls for money?

So no surprise that everyone thinks rare loot (outside of unique items such as Jibbers) is an awful idea. It has been mentioned by others (but I don't think it can be said enough) that it is also unethical to have rare loot without documenting the drop rates. Chest rerolls makes the loot...

Not exactly an unwritten rule as there is writing on the screen when you hit ransack informing you of that fact.

And before that there was the nebula frag in saltmarsh.

I am reading this thread and I laugh at the idea of questioning if J1NG is correct. And then... o_O :eek: Not surprised at The Blonde being correct. Just :eek: at J1NG not being correct out of the gate. Many thanks to you both for the clarifications and confirmations.

RF said it better but I will agree with them. SSG is not going to take any conclusions from a player poll. They either have better ways to gauge the impact of rare loot (actual $$ trends) or it doesn't matter because this is not even their choice to make.

At this point. if one spends Astral Shards on rerolls in a new quest they are the proverbial character who is parted from their money.
