<p>Hello folks,</p>
<p>So I was hoping to play a grippli thrower ranger (with starknives) in an upcoming skull & shackles game, but the GM shot down all potential ways to get dex to damage while throwing. So I'm looking for a new build (and havent had any luck searching on google), so I thought I'd ask around here.</p>
<p>I do set myself the following limitations:</p>
<p>- Race must remain grippli
<br />
- Class must remain ranger (freebooter/trapper)
<br />
- The GM is a stickler, so no houserules or peculiar rule interpretations</p>
<p>Otherwise, I'm open to pretty much anything. For the moment, I've been evaluating the following builds, though they all have significant issues.</p>
<p>a) Archer build: Really, just a traditional archer build. Main issue here is damage; since I'm not in a position to increase strength, the damage per shot is going to remain low, and I will have to take clustered shots as soon as possible. In addition, Freebooter's bane does not synergize well with long-range combat.</p>
<p>b) Finesse build: Fairly straightforward, weapon finesse + weapon focus + X grace (possibly going for the starknife again). The only issue is that it makes the "Combat style feats" pretty much useless, as none of the styles work well with finesse.</p>
<p>c) ?</p>
<p>Anybody got any ideas? I'll keep looking on my own, but any advice is appreciated.</p>TLDR: Looking for potential high-dex, low-str ranger builds

All that I should say is that’s it’s an interesting game assuming you go in blind (as in without all the kickstarter hype), and one of those few RPGs you can get through non-violently. For a more thourough review see <a href=" https://forums.inxile-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?t=17351" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here </a>. <b> There may be minor spoilers. If you haven’t already been spoiled, go play the game. </b>. Most of that’s review’s point are true in my opinion, and this article is a reflection on what I see as the complex interplay of Technique, Art and Marketing that go into making a game.
<br />
Games are complicated. There have a tremendous amount of moving parts, and the length of games (even a “short” 5 hours makes it longer than movie) makes it exceedingly difficult for any one person to have a full grasp of what it takes to make a game. Technique can generally be complemented by more man-hours, allowing more to be done on completing graphics, programming, and testing; but art requires time, and reflection and putting more people on it won’t necessarily speed up the process. Added into this mix are people’s mouths and the various vagaries of marketing. TToN is an unfortunate victim of it’s own marketing.
<br />
<b> Spoilers coming up. </b>
<br />
For those who never caught on to the initial Kickstarter phase, TToN completed it’s crowdfunding campaign almost exactly 4 years ago. It made four times its initial goal, racking up well above 4 million dollars. It had grand ideals: it wanted to be a successor to the venerable planescape:torment, seen by many as one of the most endearing RPGs ever made. [Spoiler omitted] They wanted to make a grand RPG, where violence wasn’t the main answer. They wanted strange worlds steeped in the setting of Monte Cook’s Numenara tabletop RPG system [Spoiler omitted]. The project was headed by Inxile, a company that had many former Black Isle developer who had worked on planescape:torment; Inxile had also already crowdfunded Wasteland 2, (that came out of 2014), and the Team seemed ideal for the game. It unfortunately fell victim to it’s own overpromissing, a condition I call [Spoiler omitted].
<br />
The previous review I <a href=" https://forums.inxile-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?t=17351" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">mentionned </a> catalogues all of their missteps. They promised a tremendous amount. They got lots of people involved. I would say about 25-50% of what they seemed to promise actually ended up in the game. Most major game-related stretch goals <a href=" https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/000/495/732/4cf23366055356d2148a119a60338799_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1365201609&auto=format&q=92&s=3ac7ca51d445cb693b4073e9be697a23" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> did not make into the final game </a>. I am honestly happy that development took 4 years since I had forgotten much of those stretch goals, and was able to enjoy the game much more because I had forgotten most of my expectations. It’s a good game, assuming you forget all they said would be in the game. The stretch goal of “longer and more reactive story” is particularly disappointing since it took me a mere 25 hours (doing all the side quests I could find) to complete the game, with very little observable playthrough differences. It may have some of the spirit of planescape:torment but it is not it’s successor; it is a mere shadow, as many castoff’s are to the changing god. Wasteland 2 (made by the same people) cost less, was longer, and only took about 2 years to develop.
<br />
The point I am slowly getting into is that the Kickstarter campaign suggested a much grander product than what finaly happened. Had I remembered all the stretch goals and the hype, I would have been bitterly disappointed. This disappointment is a symptom of Molyneux Syndrome; and unfortunately, even seasoned developers fall victim to it. I am fascinated by how much our expectations shape our enjoyment of the games we play. How much marketing, by showing their idealized version of they product, shape what we want from it to a point that its reality could never match.
<br />
I wonder how the developers feel about the game. There has been been some <a href=" https://www.pcgamesn.com/torment-tides-of-numenera/torment-tides-of-numenera-cut-content " target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> apologetic notes </a>. And frankly, developers should know when to say that something doesn’t work in a game and cut it, or to take time to give it more polish. Considering the final result, I really don’t feel like that’s the case with TToM, though I would love some developer retrospectives in the future. It might give some meaningful insight. In the meantime, we will have to wait for a true successor to planescape: torment.
<br />
I’m also afraid that this might “poison the kickstarter well” as a source of financing for experimental ideas. Kickstarter is a nice idea; users financing products. But in the end, it’s more of a gamble than an investment. You can’t always know what a product will be before it’s finished. And no matter how many good intentions you got, if you cant deliver what you claimed people will lose trust, and be less likely to support you later. I did after a number of failed projects that never came through. Even now, if I do aid crowdfunding, it’s at the minimum level possible; quantities of money I have no fear about losing.
<br />
In conclusion, there are ways to mitigate Molyneux Syndrome symptoms, mostly for the user. Going into a story-based game blind is can reduce the effects. In my experience, the less expectations we got, the more likely we are to be pleasantly surprised. I myself have been avoiding most gaming press to avoid as much as possible the creation of such expectations. It isn’t perfect, but at least I won’t be overhyped.
<br />
As for developpers, it’s hard to say what can be done. In the context of crowdfunding, they are mostly selling ideas. So over-promising is easy. And unfortunately, there are no perfect formulas for game development, meaning even otherwise good teams (like InXile) can fail to meet what they claimed initially. I would love to hear if other people have ideas about how to reduce the odds of catching Molyneux Syndrome.
<br />
I’m also curious about other folk’s experiences with crowdfunding. Most of those I’ve seenhave been (in my opinion) a success (Shadowrun Returns, Wasteland 2, Pillars of eternity, Divinity Original Sin); but I did go into several of those after they were funded, so they may have their own unfulfilled promises.</p>So, to preface this, this is NOT a Torment: Tides of Numenara (TToN) review.

<p>Which is also (oddly) a reason I stopped a lot of games; since they played at night (and I was always tired, I'm a day person), I was never fully engaged and was not great fun. I've found a sunday game and I am infinitely more engaged and interested.</p>
<p>So yeah, love your GM and your GM will love ya back. They are a player too, and showing them you want to play (both in play and without) is hugely motivating.</p>Redbeard the Scruffy wrote:Just get him to talk about the plot or his homebrew world a little and act like you're totally enamored with it.
Positive reinforcement and operant conditioning aren't just for teaching pets tricks. They're great for subtlety brainwashing folks over time.
Most GMs get burned out because they don't feel appreciated by their players for all their work. I know that was my primary reason.

The random nature removes all possibility of auto-win scenarios. And if someone plays against someone at the same level, it's very impressive. I mean professional sports is basically that; take the "best" possible human players, the best possible strategists/coaches, and pit them against each other. Yes, a pro team will (almost) always beat an amateur one (and it will look quite boring as well), but pro vs pro can be quite interesting.
<p>Cult like faith in it's omniscience is dumb however. This is statistical analysis, not calculus. There is no "solve for victory". You may win 70% of your games, but losing should be expected.

Game gradually turns to s#&#, it shrivels up, they stand in the ruins, shrug their shoulders, and decide it was inevitable, because obviously if <i>they</i> couldn't have saved the game, nobody could!

You derive fun from something broader; they derive fun from victory & statistical analysis. In the end, people who want to win (and put the effort to do so) will always end up pushing aside those without the same ambition (and this isnt just in games; you can go into any field (business, engineering, politics, etc.) and find similar mindsets). I wouldnt be surprised they have similar attitudes towards "casuals" (like the reaction on the web to "casual" VG players), wondering why "they dont play the game properly" (IE statistically, to win).
<p>The only solution I have found... is avoidance. They want something COMPLETELY different from the game that some do. I'm not competitive myself, and so I avoid these kinds of people.

I've got 2 options:

-Either I attack from behind victrix (which I assume gives cover to the mongrelmen)

-Or i move beside victrix (which I'm unsure is feasible) then strike the guy behind the first mongrelmen (which I dont think gets cover?)

My priority is the second choice, but if it's impossible I will take the first.

I will rework some things (my writing is average) though there are some things that will stay (I still think the notion of the oath is important to moderate the character and to give them something to work towards). (Also, there is are gender neutral pronouns, "they/them". Common usage unfortunately treats it as plural. But apparently that throws off most folks, so I will use the recommended hir, though that throws me off far more than "they". You will also need to tolerate the occasional accidental "her")</p>
<p>As for touched by divinity, I will admit I did not understand the need for the limitation. I talked with the GM to allow it, and they seemed to be OK with it. I'll look at the champion trait.</p>
<p>I'll take some of your recommendations into account and rework it. For functional reasons, I will treat Daenal as though they already had the legalistic curse. I do not think it will conflict with their previous behavior.</p>
<p>Edit: as for actual geographical origin, it will need to be determined. I do not see an order of Arshean paladins having more than average interest in the worldwound, and as far as I know, Arshean's are rare there. So I will have to find an appropriate location, to be determined.</p>
<p>Edit 2: I could take the champion trait, though it will be largely wasted (though the occasional combat maneuver might be accomplishable by smiting, I simply dont have the feats as an oradin to use combat maneuvers effectively). I will have to rewrite the base fluff of the trait as wellr, it's simply too specific to fit with the backstory I've written. It's why I originally asked to take touched by divinity.</p>
<p>Edit 3: Since apparently the cult of Arshea has a long association with Magnimar, I will set hir home there.</p>While I appreciate the time you seem to have put Belladona, it's a bit much.

</blockquote><p>I can understand the initial restrictions. And oh yeah, Arshea is just silly (fun silly, but the power is high)( i tried to write a little guide on the subject, and I would say only about 10 % (not including black butterfly) are great). In any case, i'll stick to black butterfly, but I think my character might look into the other mystery cults of Magnimar (since according to the wiki, BB isnt worshipped there much).
