Timer doesn't work with an area, but works well for the whole screen

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the replies, on my work computer (Win 10) screenshot "just works" to capture an area with no change to the screen.

For years the built-in tools for print screen on Liunx was far superior to Windows, but this seems backwards now.

Agreed, the charges idea was a great suggestion by Toaster. It should help prevent the "but I was only wildshaped for 20 seconds" type of complaints.

Either way time is weird in D&D.

Assume that you are involved in a "long" combat at 10 rounds. Wildshape lasts hours, so yes I wildshape into a dire wolf and finish the battle in 1 minute of in game time; but being a wolf is not that useful out of combat....so I "waste" 59 minutes of wildshape time at Lvl 2 and 119 minutes at Lvl 4 etc...you could use some of the time saying that I was scouting the area around the battle for a few minutes....but still, the point stands.

I am trying to keep things as simple as possible.

I like the idea of "charges". Rather than time directly, my numbers wouldn't change but the concept would, be 1 charge is worth up to 15 min of wildshape time. It is used when it is used, they can be chained together so no need to re-transform to stay as a bear or a cat etc..

So the transformation cost would be 4xCR, min of 1. CR1 still is worth 1hr of "charge" time to transform then using charges up after that, dependant on how long you are transformed for..

As for the DM saying different time, that is a given in any situation, the DM could have as easily said that you followed for an hour, using 4 boxes.

Agreed.

I have a simple time tracker (4 boxes in a line, 1 line per hour) it is very course. 1/4 hr slots as a minimum.

e.g. if I am tracking someone as a cat, DM says you follow the target for say 40 minutes, that's 3 boxes used up.

I used Ubuntu for years, but the forcing of snap really killed it for me.

Ubuntu used to be synonymous with stability and compatibility. It was always a little bloated and slower than a bunch of others. But that was the price for stability....

It is probably still stable but compatibility has taken a back seat. This is what really annoyed me enough to switch.

I'm on Mint now, it is really nice. Flatpak is much better than Snap, my only real issue is the MASSIVE size of flatpak downloads.
