Starfield still thinks it's worth 70 euro. That's ... adorable.

Don't have much time atm, but often damage-over-time (Persistence's wounding, Kana's Comes Soft Winds etc.) is also not recorded. That makes it really hard to truly know who does good damage and who's not. Something like Come Soft Winds doesn't do much damage to individual enemies, but the huge AoE usually means he will hit a lot of foes simultaneously. Wounding with some Might bonus can also do around 30% more dmg - that would bring Sagani up to your Cipher - plus Animal Companion. Searing Falls is hard. You shouldn't go there until you have 10 mechanics. Because that's what you need to find Tidefall (in scouting modus) anyway.

I made my bald albino Harkonnen and crafted my first shack, but I haven't gotten too far in it yet. It plays exactly like Conan Exiles, but since I have about a 1000 hours in that game, that is hardly a bad thing. I don't really like playing on public servers, but it will be fine for the weekend. I've yet to tempt any sandworms, but I will report back when I try to cross some desert.

Indian bots and trolls are worse than hasbara, and almost as bad as MAGA.

... "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." doesn't say what miller suggests. needs be a rebellion or invasion AND the threat to public safety must be legal sufficient as to necessitate suspension o' habeas corpus. is not simple a matter o' trump declaring we got an invasion, so he may therefore suspend habeas corpus. however... am not sure how many times we need have this same conversation. "can't actually do that," is irrelevant. imagine trump waits 'til he gots ten c-5 loads worth o' undocumented immigrants he wants to "deport" to el salvador, rwanda and libya. and let's say scotus decides in the upcoming birthright citizenship case (which isn't actual about the legitimacy o' birthright citizenship btw,) that a district court judge can no longer grant nationwide tros/injunctive relief but is instead limited to granting to relief to respondents appearing before their court and in their district. so consider the possibility that on some friday or saturday night in the not too distant future, the trump administration organizes a mass deportation effort and suspends habeas corpus for tren de aragua, ms-13, lawyers at big name law firms and the less than a dozen trans athletes competing in ncaa sports, gets 'em on planes before lawyers are able to successful challenge the legality o' the intended deportations, and then the us military flies those persons to libya, el salvador and rawanda. trump has been practicing how to move deportees just ahead o' court responses. the upcoming scotus decision we mentioned may make the situation even more dire for potential deportees as individual judges could have their reach limited by a significant degree. yeah, when biden was President, near every conservative cause ended up before judge kacsmaryk in texas. conservatives sudden believe that one judge shouldn't have so much power, and the truth is they might be right, but their motives is pretty freaking transparent and self-serving. regardless, once all those people is outside the US, one step ahead of the law, trump will be able to do the same thing he is doing now and pretends as if he is powerless to fix the problem. of course the Court could eventual order trump to try and get those people back, but what nobody wants to admit is that is the extent o' their power. if trump says he tried his darndest to return all those people back to the US, but that el salvadaor, libya and rwanda refused to comply, what then? heck, what if all those planes carrying deportees crashed into the ocean? doesn't much matter, does it? if trump refuses or creates a situation where he literal cannot bring back his deportees, then what? well, of course we could impeach trump... can't do... illegal to do... impossible to do... that kinda thinking only applies to Presidents who follow the rules and traditions o' the US. trump is ignorant, covetous, petty and vain to a degree we has never seen in a chief executive, but people keep pretending as if next time he will follow the rules? serious? HA! Good Fun!

This is perfect. Thank you very much. More than enough to get me started!

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/09/rumeysa-ozturk-tufts-ice-release-00338953 Well that's good news, of sorts. And of course this homunculus https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-stephen-miller-says-trump-administration-is-actively-looking-at-suspending-habeas-corpus Not a very good sign, even if (I assume) they can't actually do that.

Hi! Sounds like a Herald (Paladin/Chanter). Most popular Heralds use the Troubadour subclass because it can easily hold up two phrases without a gap. This is nice when you use Ancient Memory for passive healing and support it with Mercy and Kindness (+50% healing). You'll also want to use Exalted Endurance because it's another "passive" healing aura. Often Heralds also use the shield Lathandria's Devotion in order to add another passive healing aura. All that passive healing combined with the Paladin's defenses makes a very sturdy tank. Chanter invocations can be used to buff party members in many ways. The Paladin subclass usually isn't that important, but since you want to heal a lot: Kind Wayfarer. On the other hand you want more engagement - in that case a Shieldbearer would be better. You decide what's more important to you: healing or engagement. You can also gain bonus engagement from some items (Kapana Taga +2, Reckless Brigandine +1, Blackened Plate Helm +1 for example). The Blackened Plate and its helmet come rel. late but that armor also fits the theme very well because it can also emit a passive healing aura. If you want to use Lethandria's Devotion then I would pick Shieldbearer as subclass. Mountain Dwarf is no problem. Low Dex is always a problem for casting time. Luckily most Chanter invocations don't have long casting times. There should be several herald builds in this forum. Here is one:

That is true. Infestation of Maggots deals 10.0 Damage by percentage of Endurance lost. So it's better to cast it when enemies are already losing health.

It's silly - on the one hand, we have film studios doing remasters with excessive noise recuction to remove film grain, and on the other hand we have game developers with nothing better to do than to add film grain and motion blur options to their games. The games have the advantage here though. I just turn both options off.
