Orcas have been such bros to humanity (no wild orcas have ever been recorded intentionally attacking humans) that if they're hitting boats I'm starting with the assumption that it's the humans fucking up. There's a lot more history of humans being cruel/stupid to wildlife than there is of orcas doing the same to us.
Orcas have rarely injured and in one case killed their trainers when held captive, but that's essentially them fighting being held hostage. “No one is sure what causes the animals to react in this way, but boredom, frustration and ill health, both physical and mental, have all been implicated,” says Rob. “These incidents have resulted in serious injuries to trainers and, in one case at least, proved to be fatal.”
All the little math rocks bringing their 30 hp of damage.
Now that you mention it, that's probably one of the best ways to teach the basics. It's so much more fun when it's roasting baddies as opposed to counting apples.
It was originally posted in World News, but was (rightfully!) removed for being internal US news and not world news. I screwed up - I think when I read anything about Gaza I start thinking about how it relates to the international war at large. Clearly though this story doesn't belong there, and hopefully it fits here.
I honestly think these people are drunk on outrage politics, and the extreme of "just revenge" is the whole point. They must somehow feel powerful introducing proposals of terrible cruelty.
It definitely got us more emotionally involved than the usual "goblins are attacking the village" beginning! The wizard in particular was able to RP being really angry during some of the major fights as we were tracking down the "master". "You killed the people I grew up with, that I started adventuring with!" and so on.
I have a lot to say when reading a headline like this, but it boils down to: I really hope advances like this and EV's topple the fossil fuel industry that's hurting our planet.
Nevermind that there are several human rights groups, news organizations, medical responders, international aid etc. that would like to be in Gaza but are being denied entry. This reeks of sending people protesting terrible conditions to suffer in those conditions.
It's a recent-ish question about whether someone should fear running into a man or a bear more in the woods. I prefer to leave the discussions alone as they can degenerate quickly, but I like some of the memes so I made a TTRPG version.
Said druid's two states of mind (and wild shape uses):
Edit: although now that I've looked it up (I don't think I've played a druid) you take on the physical attributes of the animal, so I guess you could get away with a Con dump so long as you're able to morph into something tanky when it's important.
