![]() ![]() Probably because it so rarely happens, but I enjoy explaining the surprise on my own face. Honestly, missing is the best part, for me. but I don't play with "those people".Īs an archer (well, crossbowman) in a buddy's 5e campaign, I pre-roll my attacks and damage. sure, you could just choose something else, pretend you were never going to use Sacred Geometry at all this turn. maybe I am too trusting, but it seems like knowing that Sacred Geometry is going to fail doesn't change the fact that right now you need that spell and those metamagics. Your pre-rolls go in the order you rolled them, and the spell you need is the spell you need. as if you had prepared the spell with metamagics applied. Oh, I was thinking that you already choose the spell and any metamagics you want to apply to, factor its prime constants, and that number is specific to that spell/metamagic combination. The real problem is that they are actually disruptive. Just like Foresight Wizard is cool because mechanically you can actually predict the future of your turn. Not gonna lie, i honestly think these feats are kinda cool, they provide flavor while also incorporating mechanic to make you feel that flavor. (I personnally wouldn't allow the feat at all to be completely honest it's disruptive and busted.). Sacred Geometry on the other hand should not be pre-rolled as the feat incorporate elements of failure and i wouldn't allow someone to pre-emptively know if their action will succeed or fail. I guess french wizard are gonna be sad lol. Fireball has a digital root of 2, but ''Boule de Feu'' has a digital root of 6. Technically, someone could make a list for all existing spell listing their digital root, or they could make a program to calculate it.įunnily enough, spells in different language have different digital root. If all the prep-work is done, then it adds one extra dice roll in a character's turn, which is 100% fine. Flipping through your rolodex of spell primes or whatever, roll some side dice, flip some beads on the abacus, twirl an imaginary handlebar mustache or pull on a beard that isn't actually there.įor Arithmancy, pre-preparation is necessary and it works well. why would I volunteer to grade elementary math homework every turn?įrom a players' standpoint, it just seems fun. ![]() ![]() I don't check your attack rolls, your saves, your crit confirms. I could just take two metamagic feats and apply them like everyone else, but I don't want to actually have to know the metamagic feats I am going to use, and I don't actually want applying them to cost me anything extra.ĭon't get me wrong, I don't play with people I feel the need to double check. I am going to take this feat, one of my precious few feats, and I am going to do this extra work (or at least say I am doing this extra work) to completely abuse an already powerful magical system. I like how it's left up to the honor of the person who is clearly cheating, because non-cheaters don't take cheater feats. There's no way I'm going to monitor all those rolls and check your math each time. Ryze Kuja wrote: Sacred Geometry is totally an honor system thing. Make one of those circular slide rulers that you spin different layers in different directions to align some mysterious result. there are far scarier things than damage, and for those things you want DC boosts not CL.īut the charts/tables seems fun to flip through, really roleplay it up. Honestly, an extra D6 of damage isn't worth a feat for a spellcaster. Most encounters happen within' a 100' radius, so the extra range is a highly situational benefit. ![]() most combats last like 5 rounds so increasing duration will have a limited effect on most encounters. Raising your CL doesn't affect the spell's DC, or give you access to spells of a level you are otherwise unable to cast. There's an ioun stone that will do that casually floating around your head, no action or feat required. Is that extra 10' to the range or extra D6 to the damage really worth your swift action and a feat? range, duration, damage, SR check, Dispel check. Like I said, I don't fully understand the power of it. ![]()
