Fr just try being sad when this is in the room:

Anything memetic is a meme. This has been shared organically with no monetary incentive by users for the sake of amusement. That makes it a meme.

You’re thinking of an image macro. You’re right, this isn’t an image macro.

Something about using “crap” instead of “shit” in enshitification really takes the bite out of it

I’ve come to the conclusion that 3.5e was the peak of TTRPG and frankly I’ve just decided I’m going to go back to that. It’s not like there isn’t plenty of 3.5e materials to use.

Yes, my calm but critical response clearly means I’m “upset”

Absolutely, but I don’t see tea drinkers making these kind of memes. They just like, drink tea. Coffee drinkers like to pretend their ritual has spiritual overtones to it.

Coffee drinkers are so weird.

Your choice of bean water doesn’t make you cooler than anyone with a different choice of bean water.

This is the joke. How is this meme making fun of what is already clearly the intentional joke of the show?

This isn’t even low hanging fruit, this is picking through the rotten scraps on the ground.

Fr this. Like do you people really want to have to sit through every ounce of tedium in your media? Let the writers have their shorthands, please.

Sounds like they’re actually similar to archetypes and I’m just dumb, tbh, but basically in 3.0+ D&D there were classes you could multiple class into without multiple penalty if your character met specific qualifications (different for each prestige class, usually ability score minimum and knowledge of a feat, spell, or spell level, but sometimes specific race or language or whatever). These classes were usually much more specialized and specific than the general core classes, but also gave your character great powers and flair in that specific niche. Or at least that’s the idea when they were well-implemented, which was not always the case, and prestige bloat is often cited as one of the worst parts of 3.0+ as nearly every single sourcebook would include at least a couple new ones (but I never saw this a problem, personally).

I’m not either, I just don’t think prestige classes were the failure. Yes, later prestige were one way power creep and bloat happened, but they aren’t inherent to the state.

That being said, I must admit I’ve only dabbled in PF1 very briefly, so I guess I need to ask for clarity - are archetypes different than subclasses? It was my understand (again, from very far outside) that that was just what PF2 was calling subclasses, and if so, that’s a very different thing than a prestige class in my mind. A part of the appeal of prestige classes to me is worldbuilding groups built of a prestige classes made up of many different classes; I love that Arcane Trickster might have wizard levels, or sorcerer levels, or bard levels, etc… So maybe I’m just out of the loop here - are archetypes class specific or they actually the PF2 class-agnostic viable replacement for prestige and I really should give PF2 a look?

Imo bloat and power creep were the problem, not prestige classes. I still love prestige classes and 3/3.5 overall.

Call me when they have prestige classes

Truth. I feel silly having brand loyalty to a flour brand, but I do. I think King Arthur puts out fresher, better flour, and I think their recipes and website are super solid. Legitimately a fan of a flour brand, lol.

I’ve always wanted to start a band named Better Than Better Than Ezra

Bro do you think I typed this through clenched teeth or something? My comment was in exactly the same light tone as yours.

That hasn’t been my experience. My experience is that my first impressions are woefully incomplete, but rarely wrong.

You aren’t reading the wrong book, you’re just only getting the prelude chapter.

I mean it tells me that you’re somebody who weighs levity over seriousness. Even if it doesn’t specifically tell me who you are, to imply that any choice is devoid of meaning is equally unrealistic.
