Why didn't you tell this librarian that you'd asked another librarian and they said it was okay to plug in? Why was none of this included in the original post?

Do you trust every one-sided story to be entirely accurate of all details?

And what does trust have to do with it? Can we use Ethernet here? If the person says no, would you just walk around the building until you found a port and plugged in?

Why would you ever divulge your master password to anyone? There's not a reason to. Even if you die, you can set for someone else to get access to your account after X number of days, all without giving your master password.

Some people just want to complain about anything.

Nick Drake.

Years ahead of his time and while he gets a lot of recognition posthumously in certain music circles, he didn't have any hits during his life, or even any hits after, so the average Joe hasn't heard of him.

All three of his albums are fantastic, though Five Leaves Left is my favorite.

Yes, I love when birds wake me up at 5 am from their incessant singing because they can't shut up. It makes me so happy to not be able to sleep.

Omg, please for the love of everything, get rid of the time change.

I don't care which way they pick, just get rid of it. It's absolutely useless.

Huh, that's not the version of All By Myself that I'm familiar with.

My husband loves Bejeweled Twisted. I just can't.

I love me some match-3 games though. Doesn't need to be bejeweled.

I don't think anyone believes Madame Web was supposed to be an artsy film.

Hope y'all are safe.

 

So I play an Ancients Paladin in one of my games and have the 7th lvl feature, which is resistance to magic damage caused by spells. Sounds great on paper.

The issue is that in the 2+ years I've had this feature, I've never once gotten to use it because any damage that we've taken is from a creature feature, not a spell, even if it functions like a spell. As we all know with Monsters of the Multiverse, this is going to be becoming the standard way of stat blocking monsters in the future, so the situation is just going to be exacerbated in the coming years of playing the character.

I've talked with my DM and we both agree that this is an issue as anyone having a character feature that's essentially dead is a problem. However, we don't really know what to do to fix it in a way that makes it satisfying and not overpowered or pandering (ie: artificially adding in spellcasters and say they're casting spells just so I get to use the feature). And since this isn't the main paladin subclass, we likely won't see if WotC decided to address it until next year when PHB 2024 comes out.. which is another year of feeling like there's a dead feature in my character.

Now, it is possible that the feature only exists to deal with friendly fire. Fortunately or unfortunately, my group is very good at avoiding friendly fire by having an evoker wizard who negates all AOE damage for us, a Bearbarian as the other front liner, and good tactical positioning of spells from the other spellcasters (one of whom is a moon druid and often in melee). If this is the case, it still feels bad as it just isn't something that occurs in our game.

I have tried doing some searching, but most discussion on this topic tends to be about what the feature actually affects (just damage from spells). Does anyone have any thoughts on how to adjust the feature so that it can actually be utilized against creatures going forward, but not be so overpowered that it just turns into resistance against magic damage.

Thanks in advance for any help. We're quite stumped on this one.
