aethereal Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 18 minutes ago, gameboy1234 said: I'm not up on my DnD lore but I think rust monsters affect iron. Lord Nemesis sees further than most, and cleverly made his automachina out of brass. Those rust monsters won't work against the almighty Lord Nemy. Also, have you seen what those rust monsters do during breeding season.? No. Absolutely not. Get them back in separate cages, immediately. An extremely strict reading of the 5e stat block for a Rust Monster suggests that the Rust Monster can only voluntarily rust a ferrous metal object with its antennae, but any metal object (not just ferrous) which hits the rust monster is vulnerable to rusting. But that's fairly crazy, and presumably the ferrous qualifier is meant to be applied. Brass is non-ferrous. It does oxidize (to a greenish color, like copper), which I guess isn't technically rust. So, to this obviously extremely relevant topic, I'd say that Nemesis is largely immune to Rust Monsters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatstroke Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I refuse to build anything else until the open beta.

TraumaTrain Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I'm hoping this Wind Control (whenever it may or may never be) actually comes to us as Wind Blast. I have fart themed characters that will want DPS over controls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltor Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Minor suggestion: make a drone alt with the name now.

According to the 3e SRD, Rust Monsters corrode metal, in 3e they don't differentiate ferrous vs. non-ferrous. So, I'm starting to think Nemesis would be vulnerable, but I'm sure there is a plan for it. You might even say, a plot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HC team makes a point of not over promising anything, but also recognizing folks are interested in knowing where things are headed try to ensure a few hints are given. Even when things hit the beta shard for testing, changes can still be made to revert it back and the HC Team wants to ensure there is expectation management for this. Best place to look for any updates is in the beta patch notes thread once they are released for testing before they hit the live shards. 2 I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide!

Sorry Nemmiecakes, shower slippers aren't threatening. The difference is shoes is the most I can take from that picture and the others of Nemesis, sandals vs. steel toe boots. So, I guess it cold be a hint about more costumes being proliferated to players, or it could be a Nemesis Plot to throw us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
