Thank you for articulating the discomfort around Mollymauk better than I've seen anyone else do so far. I feel like folks are still stuck in the Denial stage of grief. And no matter what anyone says, Molly is staying dead. In a Talks episode (or maybe on Twitter?) It's been stated by Taliesin that Mollymauk would be unwilling to be targeted by any ressurection spell. Also Matt has said he isn't going to ressurect Molly.

I didn’t even know this part of it, I had assumed his weird correlation to the Purple Phoenix diety/entity might bring him back for an evil NPC like Yasha currently is, combined with the cult leader shit.But the fact is the DM and the person who played him both have stated more or less he’s dead, he’s not coming back, is a big ol neon sign people need to let him go.

I have a familiar in my campaign. I assure you this is not just a Frumpkin phenomenon. If Mordenkainen ever makes a perception check I would be genuinely shocked

haha, totally valid. and i’m also just giving him a hard time. 

also Mordenkainen is an *excellent* name for a familiar

The people that dislike the ranger tend to not understand what rangers even do

tbh i think that’s a large part of the reason they get so much hate -- people keep projecting this “ideal” version of the class that they themselves have but has never actually been standard for the game onto the 5e version, which, like everything in 5e, is sort of meant to be the “greatest hits” version based off of previous editions and then whine about it not being a thing that hasn’t really ever existed. or at least hasn’t been the norm

like one of the things i see a lot is people demanding a “spell-less” ranger (which i especially am annoyed by, seeing as i love playing characters with at least a little bit of magic, if maybe complicated relationships with it -- and a half-caster fits that really well, actually, so i love the 5e spellcasting), citing the fact that rangers “used to be a fighter option!”

the thing about that is though, if you go back and look at the ad&d material where, yeah, they were a kind of fighter -- they still had spells. kind of like the modern eldritch knight. and sure, 4e rangers weren’t really magical in the traditional sense, but 4e also created the “seeker” class to kind of fill the void of “magical outdoorsman” for the edition, and it was the odd edition out in doing so (as it was in most ways)

so all these people clambering for a ranger that doesn’t cast spells are totally out-of-line with the history of the game and it baffles me that they object to the idea of instead playing an outlander-background fighter or the scout rogue, both of which would make for great outdoorsy but purely martial characters! but they.... don’t want to do that i guess, and would rather yell at wotc about it

i think it stems in part from rangers having a less-solid class identity than, like, a cleric, but it’s pretty undeniable that they do have characteristics that are pretty much the same throughout d&d’s history -- a general nature-y feel that usually positions them at the frontier of civilization (but generally more invested in human settlements than druids), spellcasting, having specific enemies they’ve studied up on, making especially good ranged fighters, and having an option for animal companions -- and 5e does deliver on that? people are just..... hmmm

Hiiiiiii x2!

64. Ever cried while you were on the phone with someone? Oh most definitely. I call ppl all the time going “hey hi I’m probs gonna cry at some point during this conversation so sorry in advance,” but also my friends are super nice and take it really well even if they don’t know what to do about it (*cough* @justanotherurl-not *cough*) but yes definitely have and probably will in the future.

You haven’t had the pleasure yet (or maybe you have) but sorry in advance??

So I'm rewatching vld and I just realized how built Hunk is? His bayard gun has got to be so heavy, and there are scenes in the Balmera where he is running and firing this huge cannon with pretty good accuracy. Also his lion is the strongest and most heavily armored too.

I’ve made posts before about Hunk’s body type but yeah! like... if you look at Hunk’s casual wear he’s wearing a pretty loose comfortable shirt

but on his arms, the sleeves are incredibly snug. Takeaway implication, this guy has the biceps of a god. Could probably rip the sleeves off something by seriously flexing except he won’t do that because he likes that shirt. 

Not only is his bayard a huge heavy thing, but like you say, in s1e7 he runs while shooting and has no problem, in s1e11 he holds it one-handed with a bent arm without really paying attention to it. Frankly I think the fight in s2e2 with Lance where Hunk is mind-controlled is pretty much a testament to how terrifyingly physically powerful Hunk is, because for most of that fight, even if they’re underwater, Hunk is bodily swinging Lance around.

It’s a pretty one-sided fight, even considering Lance can’t use his bayard because his fighting style is pretty much “shoot either head or chest with devastating accuracy” and he can’t do that to Hunk, because Hunk isn’t using his bayard either- and it drives home that actually, close-quarters combat with Hunk is not somewhere you want to be.

In s3e6, Narti does a lot better against him, but the implication for Narti is that she’s quite strong herself- given she was able to bodily lift him by the neck using just her tail. Even then, that’d suggest she couldn’t break his grip on her body and instead redirected an attack so that he’d have to let go of her.

So I mean, if you want any of the paladins to help you move, go for Hunk because he could probably sling an entire couch over his shoulder.
