I'd also say that a very stingy DM also makes an artificer A tier as its the only class that always has magical gear. A generous artificer in a low-item game can push into S-tier by boosting the rest of the party as a force multiplier.

A) you said "...able to swap the cannon ability constantly rather than once a day?" (emphasis added) B) a 1st level spell slot to give the benefits of dragon breath or an AoE Heroism or a ranged equivalent of spiritual weapon, none of which require concentration? Absolutely. Its a total...

You do realize that cannons only last 1 hour right? The cannon is a magical object. ... It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. (2014 Tasha) You can change it on any subsequent summon.

Didn't know I needed this book until 30 seconds ago. Thanks!

You'll have to list the sacred cow SR hasn't killed. They had like six pools in SR1, moved to around 3 pools in SR2/SR3, ditched pools and moved to Edge in SR4, skill ratings were boosted in SR5 to 12, limits were added, chargen went from priority to karmagen to build points back to priority...

I feel like the editing has been bad since SR4, which had so many micro-revisions that its almost impossible to find two people with matching books. SR3 didn't seem to be riddled with defects, nor SR2. I started playing with blue-book 1e, before any supplements were released when the rules...

Earthdawn turns this up to 11. A person's ability rating is the average roll for their dice, accounting for dice explosions. I.e. a step 13 is d12+d10, a step 20 is d20+d8+d6 (specific dice vary by edition, but statistics are statistics). Either way, the step becomes a reasonable...

So without any strong context we can't suggest specific numbers as it comes down to the creature types that make sense. But look at it from the other side. If a bbeg of some kind wants to ablate attackers, what should they do? 1. A noisy outer perimeter with good perception. Enough of them...

You avoid the point. If you had a clear vision and the competence to describe it the first time, you could get what you want with a single entry to an image generator. A scenario you described as But you state the act of iterating is the delineator. What you call control. That's not...

Yeah, one is "a prompt" and the second is "a series of prompts." Generally, using a lot of prompts is a bad thing as the LLMs start losing context or just drifting for no good reason. So what you do is have the LLM reduce all your previous prompts down to a single prompt and restart with that...

Notice how much of their stuff was "classics" like shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes? It was trained on works out of copyright, in the public domain. Do that. I'd like image and text LLMs trained solely on pre-20th century art & literature.

Consider if you want to see responses of Ai;dr On those posts.

The middle-ground I use for what should be passive rolls in d20 games are to have every player give me 20x d20 rolls as well as all the "passive" skill modifiers. And to avoid NPC die rolls for stealth or whatever alerting players to events (and to avoid anyone being incentivized to fudge dice...

The Storyteller system was developed by Tom Down from the first edition of Shadowrun. It has none of the improvements of SR2. Its actually pretty easy to translate storyteller to SR. Both are stat+skill dice pools, ST has stats 1-5, SR has "common" stats 1-6 with extremes of 9. Given...

I think the Agreed, but again, I posited time constraints should be limited to bosses for the most part. So it should NOT be "constant, never-ending, never-fading time pressure". There should be a lot of scenarios where there are opportunities to take a break/rest (though it does let...
