  • He wasn't going to be any MORE nuts. Everyone knew he was a crackpot who hated women, and it was heretical for him to claim anyone but God could grant anyone powers. I make sure to do it in front of people and there's suddenly an audience to see him be condemned by a divine agent. If they try to say it was anything else, they're heretical too.

    At the very least, it can't get WORSE.

  • The first time Heinrich Kramer tries to show someone the Malleus Maleficarum, I appear directly in front of him and set the book on fire. Not only is the book destroyed, but a clearly supernatural event took place to put the fear of god into him. Bam. No witch trials.

  • This entire post is people trying to debate game mechanics using real world violence. I'm pointing out they're doing it badly.

    And yes, PCs are superhuman to a degree. That's why they have much higher ability scores and, in the case of the barbarian, a bonus to damage while raging. And when they do an unarmed attack, it deals 1 + Strength (+2 for Rage). For a commoner, that's 1 or 2 points of damage. For a level 1 barbarian, that's around 6 points. 1d4 + mods doesn't make sense and 1d6 is right out.

    I suggested a bear because it has twice as much health as a commoner, so there's more space to measure. A .22 rifle can kill a bear, but it might take a few shots because of a low damage roll. And it's a fuck ton more likely to kill it than just biting it. 1 point of damage isn't a small amount. We just don't want to measure anything smaller.

  • In either case, he'd have fallen unconscious first. If he did, then sure, but otherwise... And it still wouldn't mean it was 1d6+Strength, because you can still roll high on a d4.

    Bite a bear and get back to me. That'll be a better metric.

  • If a common human can survive it, it dealt less than 4 damage. And unless you're a monk, tavern brawler or some race that adds a bite attack, that's an unarmed attack and only deals 1+Strength damage.

  • All humans, no. Some humans, yes. They're obviously part of category B.

  • How does Trevor count as one of the four? When was he in a group with four members? He briefly acted like a part of the main group, but that gave it five members, not four.

  • If we have the non-D&D games to play instead, it's WAY more than 50. Even if you just narrow it down to "like D&D but slightly different", there's a fuck ton of them.

  • Be careful with that reasoning. If vampires only drink blood for the life force connected to it, it's only a short jump to cum vampires.

  • That's how I first heard of it, and it really helped me memorise the full thing when saying it. The challenge is not doing the pause between the Shuringans or staggering the Chosuke.

  • There's a classic Japanese story about a boy called Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no Burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no Shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopii-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke. That's all the first name. No nicknames allowed.

  • It's only pronounced that way because he's a dick's son.

  • The movie doesn't actually show if she was asleep or not when Donkey first encountered her. She had her eyes closed and then opened it very quickly, immediately pulling back and breathing fire at him as he fled. She was pissed at him.

  • "Dude, it's a sleeping dragon. If I wake it up, it'll just be pissed at me. If I try and do anything while it's asleep, I'm scum. I get the horny bard jokes, but I'm a little offended you think so little of me.

    Besides, the spell only lasts 1 round. I can easily go 6 seconds without fucking. I just think about your god and I go flaccid."

  • Now I'm just upset that this image isn't the meme format. It looks so much better than two random characters going back and forth between two random still images. Even if they draw over Stevonnie, it would look better.

  • In Skies of Arcadia, you find the treasure trove of a legendary pirate that contains only a copper coin and a note saying "the real treasure is the friendship that led you here". The heroes are naturally upset that they're still broke. Luckily, it turns out the copper coin is recognisable as belonging to the legendary pirate, so it's worth a significant sum by itself.

  • Oh, you want your interpretation where they have your exact same desires? Granted. That alternative version made the exact same wish you did. It's selfish all the way down, so there is no version where someone made a more concrete wish and you still get nothing.

    You can't have it both ways. You can't have someone who is incredibly different but also exactly the same. It's a contradiction.

    Oh, and your curse isn't what would happen. It's just a bad fanfic plot device.

  • Sure, that works. Curse me harder, daddy. Because of you, I like it.
