He's just sitting there, thinking "how do I make this as vague and unhelpful for Sam as possible?" and Sam just gives him a response to use against him.

@TheDangerNoodle 4 ай бұрын

Its actually part of the spell. Every time you cast it beyond the first casting every day, there's a 25% chance (that increases by 25% for every additional casting, eventually being 100% on the 5th cast) that the answer becomes vague bullshit that is purposefully useless. Thats what Matt was rolling.

But also its kind of fair. The players are supposed to make these narrative choices and the DM accomodate those choices and the story unfolds as the player drives it. Hes not supposed to say "this way is easier on the checka, do this one"

@xenosaga8436 2 ай бұрын

@@chainclaw07 That makes no sense. Sam did make a choice. He asked a God which option would help him achieve his goal. It's not any different than telling the DM: "I want to go to a store that sells weapons." then the DM sends them to a bakery. It doesn't even make sense in-game. It's a high level spell that lets you talk to a God whose life is currently at risk. If someone's trying to kill you you don't send the help to the wrong address.

The funny thing is that this whole kerfluffle is lore-accurate, for three reasons. First, the spell FCG's using has an escalating chance of failure if you spam it, which means that Matt isn't just fucking with Sam for the fun of it - it's actually a mechanical response to Sam kicking the dead horse. The second part is that, by the end, FCG is expressing frustration with the Changebringer. Now, we all know that the Dawnfather didn't take kindly to that sort of thing when Deanna talked back to him. However, the Changebringer isn't the kind of god to get mad at her followers for getting upset - and she's _absolutely_ the kind of god that does a little trolling. So she decides to playfully subvert FCG's anger as her own little form of payback - which is beautifully in-character for her, imo. Finally, on top of all of that, the Changebringer is the goddess of branching paths and freedom. Her whole thing is about finding your own way, so there's basically no universe in which she'd want to give one of her followers a straight-up command. And when FCG basically begs her to order him around, she decides to fuck with him and deliberately refuses his request, because that's not her style. And more importantly, as a chaotic good goddess, she believes that giving FCG the straight answer he's asking for wouldn't make him happy. Since FCG was made as a servant - a creature who's always been following other people's leads and attending to other people's needs - I think she sees that FCG needs to be challenged to make his own decisions, and to walk his own path. So even amid all this trolling and fuckery, I think she's looking out for her cleric's best interest. And I think that's wonderful. 🙂 That's why this scene is so brilliant.

But if we're being technical, the fact that Artagan was almost brutally dragged home from trying to transfer his followers to the Moonweaver because he didn't want to be a god anymore arguably throws fuel to the anti-god team because despite Arti trying to help this bitch she almost forced him home. And considering the fact that the Dawn Father is the most like the Old Testament God and doesn't take kindly to people questioning his authority. But of course, the main question that keeps being brought up is "well if the gods are gone, what will happen to the aspects in their domains?" Which is an honestly critical question. If the god of the sun is gone, then there's potentially no more sun. If the goddess of death, winter and fate is gone, nothing dies, an entire season is gone and fate as a concept gets thrown out the window. Gods forbid the goddess of magic goes too, and...well we've already seen what happens when the goddess of magic goes kaput. While this campaign hasn't said for certain which answer is correct, I think that's one of the main points of the campaign and the characters are going to come to their own conclusions at some point.

@bexadventures 8 ай бұрын

Your magic and an offering put you in contact with a god or a god's servants. You ask a single question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity to occur within 7 days. The GM offers a truthful reply. The reply might be a short phrase, a cryptic rhyme, or an omen. The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion. If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The GM makes this roll in secret.
