Solasta Solasta: Crown of the Magister Thread - now with Palace of Ice sequel DLC

Friends don't let friends read D&D novels if they're older than 14

I din't read the novels, just listened to videos about him while I was playing CRPG's.

he whole racial alignment cannot be defined degeneracy you see now likely started with Drizzt. If not started then, it was at least a watershed moment.

Would start with another character.

But IMO a chaotic good drow like him should be a extremely rare anomaly like a straight male elf or a herbivorous lion. Because races in D&D are creation of the Gods which are created with certain traits.

Drizzt was just particularly bad and really did spawn a wave of copycats in the tabletop scene.

My personal favorite was D.D., a mutated elf with 4 arms that fought with 4 katanas. The guy who played him wasn't very bright, as you might deduce from the name literally standing for "Double Drizzt".

God, how I miss playing D&D in high school.

...or was he?

Man, that character idea is so shit it boomerangs back into being awesome.

It wasn't even his worst character, as this guy basically was the embodyment of his own parody. At one point, he played Z.D. (Zoro Drizzt), which was literally Drizzt with a sword in his mouth.

I think every high school-ish aged group has a guy or two like that. Or even all of them. I've certainly known a few.

The one coming to mind right now is a Shadowrun character made before the Max Payne video games were made where the guy named his character Max Payne. He had to give his name at a reception desk for some reason, so the receptionist asked what Max was short for. He replied Maximum. So I had the NPC laugh at him and stammer, "That's so stupid!" Which I did, for a good few minutes. Buddy turned red and the entire table had a laugh at his expense. Don't name your characters stupid shit at my table.

One Piece! God that anime got so hard to follow. I remember trying to get back to it and making it to about 100 or was it 200 episodes then realizing I only made it one quarter through and gave up. It was great watching it as a kid but nowadays trying to get back to Naruto or One Piece is impossible due to how many episodes there are.

mediocrepoet Zoro is the anime swordsman who does the whole sword in his mouth thing.

I still have no idea what you're talking about, but I accept that it's some reference to some cartoon character and not Zorro.

EDIT: Google is my friend Pink Eye

This is the dumbest shit I've seen in a long while.

[Pink Eye]

Well. He specifically said ZORO which in my brains can only be this guy:

that ain't dumb. its COOL! I remember getting so excited as a kid whenever he id that. that meant he was unleashing the technique against a super hard enemy. me and my brother would yell and scream and do the exact same thing during the episodes.

This is the dumbest shit I've seen in a long while.

One Piece is full of wacky characters.

I started to watch at high school and took months to get in pace with launching episodes. There is a guy which is power is literally create and transform itself and his surroundings into mochi, other has the biscuit power and can create a army of animated biscuit warriors and a gigantic megazord style biscuit armor(Charlotte Cracker). In the main character's crew, we have a skeleton, a cyborg, a hentai girl with weather powers, a Triton and other crazy stuff. The main character has rubber powers and his transformations are :

Luffy - Gear 4

If you think that a good drow with two swords is "dumb", you should watch anime. hu3hu3hu3

Oh, come on. I know that's not true: I've seen you read Porky's posts.

you should watch anime

I feel the need to stress the fact that this piece of advice should never be followed in any case whatsoever.

Why does this game allow me to roll 3 18s from 4d6 and put them to whatever stat I prefer? Might as well just put a max stats button in there.

 

[LabRat]

Too bad the One Piece series has become shit after Water 7 arc. Now I'm just waiting for the new HxH chapter.

There is, in fact, a max stat button in there. The game is already too easy as it is, playing with anything other than the standard array (or something very close to it) will only aggravate the inadequacy of the encounters.

 

[FreeKaner]

I disagree, it is a very difficult game to play when character model faces look like what they look like. This is oblivion tier.

 

[Infinitron]

It'll be interesting to see how they retrofit any new races into the Solasta setting, especially tieflings.

You say that like this game has a coherent setting.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

And it made me find lots of interesting characters which I never heard before Drizzt is one of them and has a pretty interesting story. He is a freaking high level army slaying guy and yet he is very humble. He reefers to himself as "a young warrior, in training".

I am saving this for posterity so that years from now I can check if this is the dumbest thing I ever read on this site.

Got a new Graphic card and this game on maxed out graphics with all the lighting etc, when you are indoors and scrolled out looks pretty damn nice actually. Had stopped playing it for awhile..obviously the faces and scrolled in do not look as good..... but played as an isometric dungeon crawler on maxed out graphics the game looks pretty good, anyway..back to finishing game.

Their mistake was using that awful dialogue screen and cutscenes, the models as a whole are awful. As seem in distant view, the game actually looks nice, I agree.

 

[Fedora Master]

At the very least they should have given us the option of helmets but nope.

Patch Notes - Version 1.3.57

Hey there everyone,
Guess who's back with more bug fixes!

Changelog

• Fixed (again) the issue where people where getting locked in the city. With no exit. Forever. You can't leave us, adventurers.
  
• Fixed the endgame cutscene bugging out if you kill both Ving and Orenetis, you happy little murderhobos.
  
• Plant-type monsters now correctly have disadvantage to their saving throw against Blight. Now would be a good time to tell you I'm so bad with plants that I had a cactus die on me. Not my fault though.
  
• Fixed unidentified +1 Crossbow having no description. Allan please add details.
  
• Fixed being able to go above level 12 in the campaign Crown of the Magister. Now I know what you're thinking, but you didn't gain anything by going above level 12. These are not the levels you're looking for.
  
• Killing Cafrain now prevents The Conquest quest from starting. Because he's already dead, so... yea.
  
• Fixed another instance where you could be locked in the city if you managed to become Hated by The People faction during the quest Rescuing Reya. This also fixes the black screen that would occur if you tried to enter the Middle City in the same situation.
  
• Arwin Merton's Story Cutscene will no longer trigger in Crown of the Magister if you failed all secondary quests required for it to trigger.
  
• Dungeon Maker: Fixed many pathing issues that were caused by faulty prefabs.
  
• Multiplayer: Fixed being able to save during invalid moments which could create faulty save files.
  
• Fixed an exploit where you could magically duplicate stack items, breaking the economy harder than Fabricate on tabletop.
  
• Fixed a crash that would occur when casting Dominate Person on a Druid
  
• Multiplayer: Fixed some desynchronizations that could occur when opening your inventory and drag & dropping items to a near-overencumbered ally.
  
• The "Free Action" is no longer consumed during combat when you start moving an item but decide not to instead. Ah, good ol' Free Action, how I missed you.
  
• Fixed Chaos Beckons achievement, it can now be achieved! Which is the entire point of achievements! Huzzah!
  
• CotM: Fixed more errors related to Tower of Magic / Fortress of the Shield.
  
• Dungeon Maker: Fixed using waypoints transporting the party to an empty world map.
  
• Spirit Wolves can now climb again. We fixed their little legs and paws.
