The Gaming Den

Is the Bloodrager really worth anything? Yeah, it gets spells, but it feels like they get them too slowly and too few to really be worth the bother...

Ok, I get the idea now. If I were to attempt a same game test for a barbarian, what's the protocol for things that are random, namely dice rolls, are they assumed to always have the dice come up a certain value, or should I roll and just record those results in my records as well, or what? (Pardon m...

I've seen the use of SGTs mentioned here some times before. What exactly is the criteria of performing one? How does one go about doing so?

If you gestalted Monk and Fighter into one class that got 4th level spellcasting I think that's the minimum bar required to let them play the game. Some spellcasting is required to play, it just is. The only things that break that rule are things with their own resource systems that achieve the sam...

Well, yeah, I know better than to measure it against the sorcerer, or any full caster. It would just be a matter of whether it can hold it's own at the 5-10 level range that my group usually plays at.

So, Insomniac, if the Barbarian is in a better spot amongst mundane classes, what of the Bloodrager? Is it worse than the Barbarian despite having some spells, or is it actually worth playing in the sort of game where a Barbarian type can work out?

So, I'll be playing some pathfinder on saturday, and I kinda just want to take a big ol' weapon in hand and smash faces. I realize that full casters are still the best and everything, but I'm thinking either Barbarian or Bloodrager. Which one would I likely be better off with between those two speci...

Has anyone on here played a diablo-style game called Grim Dawn? It's one of the myriad games sitting in my steam library I haven't gotten around to playing, and I was wondering if anyone here had experience with it?

My confession: despite hailing it as one of my favorite Zelda games of all time, I've only actually played through Majora's Mask once...

Really? I remember looking at the Kineticist (because I've always wanted to play a telekinesis master), and being wholly unimpressed, but why do the others suck? (Disclaimer: I didn't really look at the others 'cuz I didn't give a shit then)

What are some good cleric spells to add with the shaman favored class bonus?

I'm pretty sure that you can use Fate inquisition, Trickery domain, or Oracle with the Wood domain to get a divine spell-like and be primarily arcane. Or one of the variations of aasimar for divine spell-like. As for why I keep bothering with such things as mystic theurgism, it's because I want to p...

So, with the Spell-Like abilities count for PrC requirements ruling, does the Mystic Theurge become any good? And if so, how would one best go about making one (wizard/cleric, cleric/sorcerer, sorcerer/oracle, etc.)?

Speaking of customization in smash 4, is it typically better to choose equips for more attack power or more defense?

Also, how do you play Rosalina and Luma?

I have all the mage specializations and all but reaver warrior specializations unlocked currently. I just haven't actually made a complete playthrough of Origins because for whatever reason, I just stop feeling like playing it at some point through, hence my desire for greater speed this time, so I ...

So, on a slightly related note to previous questions on Origins, what is the best way to warrior for quick efficient playthough without being a mage PC, dual-wielding, two-handed greatsword, or sword and board?

Edit: Or, alternatively to warrioring, how about a primarily nuker mage?

So, in Origins, what would be the fastest way to just steamroll through the game, hopefully with minimal micromanaging other characters?

What would the optimal way to go be for a "time/space" mage, one who bends time and space, and controls gravity and similar effects? Kind of like the Time Mage class from certain final fantasy games? A Cleric with the Void and Travel domains? A conjuration wizard? A Time oracle? Something ...

So, on DA: Origins (because I feel like maybe I should actually finish a playthrough of that before playing DA2), is there any way to make a shapeshifter mage viable and not suck monkey testicles enough to go through the game?

So, I just got Dragon Age 2 for my xbox 360 (yes, I know it's on origin on PC, no, I'm not going to get origin, fuck that), and I was wondering if you guys had any tips to pass on, particularly for a mage PC?

So then, what are the upsides and downsides of GURPS, particularly its 4th edition (the one I have access to)? Is it still playable and fun times possible, just look out for certain pitfalls, or is it a mechanics nightmare? Would I be better served using GURPS Lite as my core, and how well does the ...

So, which would perform better for an illusionist character then, an arcanist or a cleric using veiled illusionist?

How would one make a good illusionist in pathfinder without being a gnome? Particularly, would it be better to go for a wizard or an arcanist, why does the Shadow Gambit feat on the d20pfsrd seem so lackluster, and are there any other special feats of note for an illusionist?

So, what are the strengths of the Cleric list, and the Druid list?

How does one max out the mojo of a warpriest, anyhow?
