am finding prunes is an underutilized method for adding sweetness or cutting down on acidity in meat dishes. prunes qualifies as a Gromnir pantry staple seeing as how prunes has a decent long shelf life and the frequency with which we use 'em. one o' our favorite prune recipes: the only downside to snacking on prunes as 'posed to using as an ingredient is the sticky factor. we could cut prunes into small pieces and then eat with a utensil, but doing so results in additional cleaning and fork-and-knife a prune just seems kinda pretensions. sticky fingers means am unlikely to eat prunes while simultaneous doing other tasks, which cuts down on their utility. HA! Good Fun!

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part 6
Gromnir replied to bugarup's topic in Computer and Console
yes. have mentioned previous but it bears repeating that overcoming wotr difficulties is not 'bout crafting clever tactics. in spite of all the options available, wotr is not complex. the game is crude. all you need do is stack buffs of your party's ab and dc numbers while simultaneous adding debuff to foes. on the highest difficulties to make nenio one-shot demon lords, make sure you got all the mind effect and illusion boosting gear possible, and consider having a court poet in party for the int boost. the madness domain and hexes also become indispensable for debuffing. is worth considering a single level of crossblood sorc. etc. HA! Good Fun! -
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part 6
Gromnir replied to bugarup's topic in Computer and Console
yes. edit: you are looking for a solution in the wrong place. the crystal's aoe stun is sonic and not psionic. ordinarily pathfinder stuns is physiological and are opposed by a fort save as 'posed to a will save. HA! Good Fun! -
and am gonna suggest there is serious upside o' getting right to the action particular for cinematic storytelling. how many first episodes o' tv shows or openings o' movies has been ruined by torturous character intros and unnecessary exposition? we played bg3 early access and it didn't appeal to us, but we got no issue with the developers metaphorical throwing the player outta a plane w/o a parachute to get the story started. in the first minutes we don't need know who, what, where, when or why. what we do require is for the storyteller to make us want more. am a vocal advocate o' the show, don't tell school o' storytelling and in our opinion the one thing larian got right was avoiding the traditional, tedious, talky intro. unfortunate, they didn't make us want to see more o' their game. HA! Good Fun!

there is a solution which don't require mods, but it kinda depends on what you want from a rogue. are you choosing rogue 'cause they get a whole lotta skills including perception and open locks/disarm traps? sneak attack? an inquisitor sanctified slayer with the animal domain gets you much o' what a rogue offers in addition to a potential mount. shadow shaman is a stacked option but unfortunate you won't be getting a mount until level sixteen.

according to pathfinder 2e rulez, only half the balor damage from its death throe is subject to fire resistance/immunity. there is some funny math involved as a few balor is not doing 16d10, but somehow their death throe is based on caster level, and as already noted in another post, owlcat decided cl = hd. as most wotr foes get kinda comical hd bloat... *shrug* the balor you need watch out for is the one who does electricity damage, 'cause again, the beastie is doing damage based on a serious inflated caster level and 1/2 the damage the sparky balor does is listed as almost irresistible divine damage. angels may choose a halo effect which allows some resistance to divine damage, but the sparky balor is gonna overwhelm even that protection. beware the sparky balor. HA! Good Fun! -
kinda looks like a shar-pei, but most "puppies" do. the placard is embossed pink, which +ten years ago and back as far as early 20th century would signal feminine. nowadays is bad to make such assumptions and is largely irrelevant at the moment. regardless, congrats to @ShadySands and his family on this most recent blessing. for what it is worth, you got our sincere best wishes and hopes of good health. may you and yours enjoy many years o' happiness together. HA! Good Fun!

technical the swarm doesn't become a giant spider. through agency o' the clemency of shadows ring (one o' the best crusade relics in the game btw,) a giant spider is summoned for 3 rounds whenever a party member, including summons, is rendered unconscious or dies. if you want a cheap way to create a functional impenetrable wall of summons, the monster or animal summons 1 spells will suffice 'cause when the giant spiders die or is rendered unconscious, they also trigger the clemency of shadows summon effect. as such, starting the daisy chain with the lowest level spell possible makes tactical sense. 'course clemency of shadows is most useful 'cause o' the attacks o' opportunity modifier, but the summoned spiders is kinda a hoot. HA! Good Fun! -

@Sarex as o' five minutes ago, having reloaded the end boss o' colyphyr mines battle with our first aeon character, improved aeon bane, aeon immunities and aeon gazes work proper. we did not test aeon spells. am not knowing what kp references by judgements for aeon as that ain't a mechanics thing but rather is quest related. inquisitors (save for a few archetypes)and a hunter archetype get judgements, so is not surprising the patch notes mentioned inquisitor judgements and not aeon judgements. the only aeon judgements in wotr is your mythic quest related pronouncements. however, the aeon character we tested is a sanctified slayer multi-class with no judgements, so we could not test inquisitor judgements, in case such is a continued matter o' concern. unrelated, studied target definite were working. warning: we will observe how many months past, owlcat altered aeon gazes. owlcat decided those who are immune to gaze attacks should also be immune to aeon gazes, which were a serious nerf. a couple wide available feats will make enemies and companions immune to aeon gaze effects. complete unrelated: the colyphyr mine boss battle involves a dispel effect. as many have no doubt noticed, effects from most abilities (is a few exceptions... 'cause?) is not dispelled by the boss' mass dispel, so domain abilities typical persist. regarding cast spells, the dispel is near total and complete. however, there is a few spells effects which is not dispelled and am suspecting is 'cause the effects is coded as abilities and/or 'cause is stuff which modifies weapons as 'posed to party members. example: crusader's edge is not dispelled. HA! Good Fun! -
"taco tuesday" still trademarked in new jersey... and trump was indicted... again. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-live-updates-grand-jury-2020-election-probe-arrives-courthouse-rcna96825 Trump has been charged by the Department of Justice with the following four counts: A conspiracy to defraud the United States "by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election," according to the special counsel's office. A conspiracy to impede the Jan. 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified. A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have that vote counted. Obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct and impede, the certification of the electoral vote. curious, am not seeing any news as to co-conspirators. conspiracy by definition requires more than one conspirator. (edit: six unnamed co-conspirators-- four attorneys, one doj official and one political consultant.) HA! Good Fun!

gonna observe blaster always seemed like a good option from our pov and there has been improvements with patches. example: irresistible divine damage took some time to implement correct. the hd increases is underappreciated. is doubtful kp reads, but is also worth noting a merged spellbook angel or lich keeps the merged spellbook when going the gold dragon route, albeit w/o the inflated caster level, which as already noted in the linked post is not that big o' a sacrifice for a blaster. 'course the downside, much like with legend, is the lateness the gold dragon is available plus our only dedicated blaster character thus far were an azata and it felt wrong to kick aivu and the rest o' the lollipop guild to the curb for a little more power which 'course is kinda unnecessary late game. the difficult content in the game is early, so being a smidge more powerful for the last 10% is kinda underwhelming. still haven't done our anticipated lich-> gold dragon even though it is one o' the few remaining builds am curious 'bout. @Sarex the water elemental is beatable even on unfair w/o numerous reloads, but doing so requires exploitive gameplay HA! Good Fun! -
have mentioned previous how we use the microwave instead o' parboiling taters for home fries, and we also use microwaves to speed up baking of russets or sweet potatoes. ... am gonna admit we learned how am having been using the microwave to soften butter all wrong. old dog. new tricks. HA! Good Fun!

"Former library spaces at some schools will be converted into rooms where students who misbehave will be relocated to watch lessons virtually, work alone, or in groups with differentiated lessons. Books will remain on shelves and students will still be able to borrow books on a honor code system." *chuckle* how long before that approach is deemed a complete failure? however, we couldn't help but reflexive set the wayback machine to 1985 when we saw libraries will be used for dealing with students who misbehave. pretty much describes the setting o' the breakfast club. dystopian miss by a year. is not orwellian 1984 but hughes' 1985? aside: at the time we couldn't help but be impressed by the shermer high library aesthetic and size. were disappointed when we discovered it weren't a real high school library but rather a converted school gymnasium at a defunct high school. HA! Good Fun!

this is our problem. chicken fried steak is something we made a few times for family and friends, and most o' our acquaintances is midwesterners, californians or yankees o' some stripe. chicken fried steak is not something our friends and family is likely to have had more than once and chances are what they had weren't a particular good example o' the dish. our family experienced a pleasant kinda a shock when they realized how delicious were chicken fried steak, so now it is one o' the most common requests we get precise 'cause is not something they make for themselves or enjoy at a local restaurant. what family thought was chicken fried steak... wasn't. edit: most o' our family is not adventurous when it comes to menu selections. HA! Good Fun!
