I'll use our Strength of Thousands game as the example. We are level 8, and our party consists of a wizard, a witch, a ranger, and an oracle (me). I have her built as a support character because that made sense with the party comp and oracular curse (cosmos).
Needle darts and electric arc are my two reliable damage cantrips, but they are outperformed by the other caster's spells and the ranger's weapon attacks. My noteworthy leveled damage spells are inner radiance torrent (signature) and Ymeri's mark, but their damage never seems worth the cost when compared to supporting my allies. Particularly because my best damage is less than other players' average.
Most of my turns usually focus on buffing and debuffing, or healing when necessary. Some frequent options off the top of my head are:
*Protective Ward
*Fear (+3)
*Bon mot
*Heal (Signature)
Often I try to apply a status only to learn the target already has a status so mine doesn't matter. I guess it's just frustrating because no matter what niche I try to occupy in the party, I'm always outperformed by someone else.
This was also the case with 2 different druids I've made and a barbarian in other campaigns.

Cool, thank you! I'll hang on to these for if we start a new campaign. We're past level 5 in both our games right now, unfortunately.
Basically, yeah. It feels like any time I pick a feat or spell, it's just bad. Every combat I feel useless. I asked some of the more savvy players in my group for help, and we completely revamped my character sheets and handwaived it as a giant retrain. Now my characters don't suck, but I also feel detached from them because the options I picked for my character concepts aren't part of the build anymore.
That's why I was hoping to find a library of characters that I could pick from, to at least find one I can get behind.
That's good to know. I was planning on reading it after she recommended it, but I am averse to most things horror.
Had a mildly stressful week back at work after a vacation, but I am thankful to have a relatively low-stress job now overall. My worst day in this role is better than my best day at the last job.
Found a new way of applying my eyeliner that suits my face a lot better too, which is fun :)
Can you imagine if this was normalized for the president, and then over time became acceptable for other people?
"You can't have congress people worried about whether some lawyer will go after them."
"You can't have CEO's worried about whether the DA will go after them."
"You can't expect your boss to worry about whether you will go after them."
"You can't expect your pastor to worry about whether the faithless will go after them."
Some lovely folks here are starting up a voice training community on Lemmy, you can find it here:

Personally, this resource was what finally clicked for me after years of on and off practice. There are exercises that explain all the different parts of your voice and how to control them.
Fine, I'll say it. Doritos and peanut butter go well together.
Terraria was released in 2011, and still gets free updates with similar frequency to Stardew. Minecraft alpha was released in 2010.
Sure, Eric won the cozy farming genre. He is also clearly passionate about the game. Maybe looking out for his own health is exactly why he continues to dabble with the game.
The title seems to imply that it's a bad thing? Why should he let go of it? Should Minecraft devs let go? Terraria?
I'm in the minority of people who really like the design, I just wouldn't ever consider buying anything from Tesla.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, "Join our Discord". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme's genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools..
