    Hello there, sorry for bothering you

    Can you check this VS thread? If you can give inputs it'll be very appreciated
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I've no more interest in the Top 5 threads

    if you wanted to do me a favor and just nyx the D&D pages from there, it'd clear up some headaches in the future

    cheers

    Hello there, sorry for bothering you

    I wanna ask about DnD's layers of resistance especially Orcus's, does he have smurf resistance? If it is then how high is it?
    View previous comments…
    Noneless21
    Noneless21
    Smurf resistance is just higher dimensional resistance like what you said about orcus when he has 4D resistance that means he has smurf resistance (to me anyway)

    Does that mean that he have extremely high scaling chain of 4D resistance to almost all power and abilities even at his high 6-A key then?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Yes, I am aware, but Orcus' page spans multiple "dimensional" gaps. Thus I was asking for clarification.

    High High 6-A key has 4-D resistances, aye, though the chain there is smaller.

    Would love if you could check out this profile, it obviously would be match-banned but aside from the formatting do you think it's good to publish? The OP worked very hard on this and if nothing else could serve as a decent example on how to make a good profile.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I will say, we actually already have plenty of pages that serve as a good example to new people, if they know where to look. While I can appreciate the amount of work that went into this, I don't think it serves as one- I firmly believe there is such a thing as too much infodumping on irrelevant topics. For example, you have eleven citations for the exact specific scientific classification of humans. People can surely figure it out with less. Personally, I prefer information-dense profiles.

    As for your abilities... eh. A lot of these are meme type things that, if listed for anything else, would get laughed at. Such as "Resistance to Heat and Fire" (which, for the record, isn't notable in this context for VSBW- I don't think any flames reach a mere 212 F temperature).

    I think you'd also need to make a rather major thread discussing a profile like this even existing. We've had similar profiles in the past that were erased, though I must admit I remember little about the details.
    Could I get some clarification regarding the speed feats? One is that the lasers had already been accepted as light speed. And could clarification regarding the EMP. The EMP in cutscene was not instantaneous but the EMP in game takes 1 frame. So is it only the cutscene EMP that is a problem and the gameplay EMP would work?

    I see. I will note that, if the YoRHa page is anything to go by, at least, that this doesn't seem to be a staff-approved revision, or at least not a staff-enacted one. It may be that the rating was given carelessly before discussions were actually had- it is not uncommon for folks to just say lasers are light speed.
    TheAngryOrange
    If I wanted to make a case, I assume it would be a forum thread?

    And how should I proceed in the meantime then?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    A thread should be made, aye, preferably also by nabbing relevant staff members and supporters (the latter is your choice). If you like, you may ask the calc group member I spoke to about the calcs as well- it was Armorchompy.
    Peppersalt43
    I have a question regarding Gar Shatterkeel

    What is his starting moves?
    What are the notable moves when faced against energy based danmaku and forcefields?
    Are there any notably dangerous moves in his arsenal?

    And in case you're wondering why I'm asking this, it's because of this. I can't really defend a pre-established character because I don't really know the details of their, well, character

    Regarding that heat feat, can I have a scan as well as proof that Helmed Horror has resistances of that level?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Wdym for the latter? Helmed Horror's resistances, much like other resistances, are simply a statement that it takes minimized/no damage from fire sources, when said fire sources include (insert aforementioned sun surface-dwelling fire elementals here). I can try to go hunt down a feat for the sun-monsters, though, and the Phaethon has its own page for the other heat feat.

    Alright this might take a bit since I need to get my hands on the proper book. In the meantime, I can tell you which book it is in- Spelljammer: Realmspace, 2e, pg 5-6.

    is it possible for a matchup to be made between these two characters?

    Hola Senor Bambu

    Remember the whole Universal Power Source schtick? Well it's been sometime since you last commented on the staff-only thread voicing your approval, and substantial changes to the draft were made in accordance to what AKM said there, and DDM also made his argument for keeping a page. (All the links for DDM's argument and my draft can be found here). Care to weigh in your opinion once more?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    oh, goodie.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Man it seems to have drifted fuckloads since I was last here, eh?

    Since DDM's summary is a mile and a half long, tell me, without all the bureaucracy tacked on: is it, more or less, still the same thing? DDM's post rambles on quite a bit, and I've little interest in spending my time off of work parsing it for relevant information. I'm still reading your sandbox, of course.

    Hey, I had a question regarding tabletop profiles, if you have a minute.

    If a tabletop rpg has had 2 editions (technically three but the 1st is explicitly no longer canon), with the same cast and setting between them, but the exact mechanics of the in-universe power system changed a lot between the two, how would we handle it?
    My gut reaction is to treat the changes as a retcon and default to the latest edition, but I wanted to get a second opinion.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Ah, you also messaged me on here

    Ye
    I forget which one I did first
    Thanks again for the info tho
    Peppersalt43
    Okay, one other question

    When an elemental in D&D is killed (The ones with Type 9 Immortality), will it be disconnected from the plain it is on and thus be unable to harm its opponent or does it mean it'll come back repeatedly until it is killed on all plains?

    And continuing on, when fighting a person with Type 9 Immortality, is killing the vessel enough if it prevents the original from interacting with their opponent?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    That depends on the elemental. Low-tier ones are unlikely to be able to return in a reasonable amount of time. However, Elemental Lords such as Olhydra could very well return within a 24 hour time limit, especially if the location was in their favor (continuing with the Olhydra example, this would mean fighting near or in a large body of water).
    Peppersalt43

    Oh thank goodness. Okay, thanks

    @Mr._Bambu I have a question regarding the regular scum

    Do their poison and diseases affect inorganic beings? And do they start by stabbing if stealth isn't an option?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Probably not, regarding inorganic beings, though some people have liberal notions of what an inorganic being is. For example, plenty of creatures have stone skin but would reasonably be affected by poison, should it get to their blood. Just a thought.

    And... probably? Stabbing is their primary means of offense, that's really all they're gonna do.
    Does the new video suffice? They dodge the Pod lasers which do not produce any warning lines. I also have uploaded a fifth video showing enemies also reacting to lasers. And screenshots and photos from the novelization and world guide to support these feats. As well as the EMP blasts which take one frame to travel its max distance.

    If this is not sufficient what exactly needs to be shown? As mentioned, all of these are easily replicated. Let me know what is required and I will get it.

    Hey, Bambu, my guy, my friend, buddy.

    I've been asked by @Malomtek to relay a message for him on a thread. I'm confused on whether or not this is allowed, as some people on said thread are saying that proxying isn't allowed. I was told to come to you on this.

    Am I allowed to proxy for Mal or would that be me violating a rule?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    You are allowed. Malom and Fujiwara were blocked from threads not for lack of contribution, but for butting heads and generally causing chaos.

    You're fully permitted to proxy on threads for them. Just keep it civil.

    Hey bambu, what would be the tier for D&D magic??
    example: tier 1 = H6A, tier 2 = multi galaxy etc.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    what are you even talking about lol
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    It's the tier listed on the profile. Same tiers for physical shit.

    Level 1-2: 9-B
    Level 3-4: At least 9-B/9-A
    Level 5-8: 9-A
    Level 9-10: 8-C
    Level 11-12: High 8-C to 8-A
    Level 13-19: Low 7-B
    Level 20-24: 6-C
    Level 25-33: Low 6-B to 6-B
    Level 34-56: High 6-A
    Level 57+: Arguably High 6-A to 2-A

    After that levels break down and each character requires individual scaling. Shit continues up to 1-A from Far Realm creatures like the Uvuudaum or Father Llymic. Only thing above them is Lumi, who has no magic in the normal sense.
    KLOL506
    Hey, it's me again, yeah I'm a yellow name now, but this dude doesn't wanna budge from his assumptions regarding whether it's frag or pulv, even though everyone else has said it's frag, and then some other stuff about him calling the destruction energy as KE even though no velocity is in play and that it's irrelevant to finding out the severity of the destruction.

    You got some insight since you recently evaluated those FF feats involving reinforced concrete or some shit so your help would be very useful.
    Artorimachi_Meteoraft
    what's your latest avatar from mr. bambu and where is that banner from?


    also could you explain to me the dimensions of dnd?

    which characters are 3d, 4d, and so on.

    thanks

    1. Ask, I guess. As a general rule, gods have it by right of having access to all spells (some spells are 1-A). Other than that, it is typically aberrations or those dealing with them.

    2. Nosir. That is a lot of Homebrew. The best for actual lore is the Forgotten Realms wiki except it obviously doesn't encompass all of D&D- it is one setting of many.
    Artorimachi_Meteoraft
    Artorimachi_Meteoraft
    can i add both then?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    no. Homebrew can't be added for obvious reasons, that "wiki" is content invented by the editors of that wiki. If I had to guess it seems to be the stuff off of the old SRD homebrew wiki, just ported to Fandom.

    I'm less opposed to the FR wiki, but it is inconsistent data with a lot of the rest of the verse, which sadly do not have anywhere near the same quality. I also don't know if going through every verse trying to add links to their wikis is a really worthwhile endeavor.
    Will this suffice? The first bit of the video focuses on the pod program laser which doesn't have any warning line. Second bit is a demonstration of the distance this can be performed from. Once again, none of the dodges are performed by me.

    All dodge requirements have been met. I do not avoid the lines and in fact run into them to make sure the laser is fired at the character. This is also performed for lasers without warning lines such as the Pod program so there is no prior knowledge of when the attack will come. Doubly so because the dodge is performed by the game and not by me. The character stands still before before the laser fires and the auto-chips also ensure there is no dodge until after the laser is fired and the videos can be replayed frame by frame to show as such. If there is any doubt, all of this is easily replicated. And all dodges can be pulled of consistently.

    Dodging a laser in the automataverse isn't that far fetched considering the bullets and missiles that are also dodged are accelerated with light speed propulsion. And the aforementioned ability to dodge EMP's.

    If this is not sufficient what exactly needs to be shown? As mentioned, all of these are easily replicated.

    Ey, Bambu- long time no see- Thought not sure if you remember lmao- but I can use a favor

    I've been waiting for quite awhile for these to be evaluated, was wondering if you would have time to help out with that-

    If you need any more context as to what's happening in the calculations than what the blog has already listed, go ahead and asked away, as for the second calc, I responded to the other guy but he didn't really want to answer-

    Anyways, much appreciated, thx-!
    Apex_Predator_GX
    I did look at the scan he dodged right after it was fired, also we are talking about someone who can dodge them.

    Skip minute 30:22

    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Apex I've watched the clip too. Are you just assuming I didn't? She begins firing the beams sporadically while he's staring at her and he moves accordingly. At no point does he actually out-speed the laser.
    Apex_Predator_GX
    Apex_Predator_GX
    Merry Christmas.

    Ok maybe I confused his movement with he dodging the lasers.

    Anyway I'm sure there are more laser feats in this game since all the weapons that the characters use and the ones in MTHR are lasers, I'll contact you if I find something.

    Thanks anyway for checking my calc.
