Thanks for the clarification!

The image he shared was one that had already been circulating for months. Can you find an example of the Secret Service going after anyone else who retweeted it? Did they even go after the person driving the vehicle in the picture, or the company that produces the tailgate wrap?

Pretty sure this is protected free speech. Nobody in their right mind would see this as a credible threat to kidnap Joe Biden; it's just a humorous way of showing displeasure toward a politician.

Good catch. Combined two decades between three authors... so an average of 6.6 years of experience.

It doesn't invalidate their point, though. It's insane that she's refusing to extradite a murder suspect.

the agency is developing rules to bar medical debt from consumer credit reports

Thank God. As a lender at a credit union, I'm tired of pleading with our own underwriters to give people a break on their medical debt. Some of them are quite accommodating while others stick to the credit report guidelines religiously. I'll be glad to see this source of ambiguity cleared up for good, and to stop penalizing people for having the grave misfortune of requiring medical treatment in America.

Yes, we got it. That's the joke.

Pregnant person: "Why don't you go fuck yourself?"

Idiot anti-abortion counselor with no sex education: "Because I don't want to get pregnant!"

It's interesting that the interim CFO, an outsider appointed by the state Board of Regents to step in and fix the budget shortfall, is actually defending the acquisition.

Of course, he's just talking about future cash flows while ignoring the fact that faculty are bearing the brunt of the budget cuts and hiring freezes required to make this work.

My favorite druid was a Wizard / Druid (Circle of the Land) multiclass. From a role-playing perspective I didn't really differentiate between his wizard spells and his druid spells - he was a "hedge mage" hermit who taught himself how to work magic. He used a component pouch because that covered all the non-scarce spell components for both classes.

From a gameplay perspective, he wasn't very powerful because his access to higher-level spells was delayed. On the other hand, he had a WIDE variety of lower-level spells. He was able to cast most level-appropriate ritual spells from both classes, always had a utility spell ready for any situation, and Arcane Recovery + Natural Recovery meant he almost never ran out of slots. He was a good versatile caster.

Oh, and he was a goblin who used Disguise Self to pass as a gnome whenever he visited civilization.

Fascinating read, thank you for sharing!

I love Solasta. It doesn't have quite the same narrative depth and player agency as (the first half of) Baldur's Gate 3, but I think it's a far better simulator of tabletop D&D. The mod support is awesome.

Firstly... by default, dropping to 0 hit points doesn't kill a creature. It knocks it unconscious, and it has to start making death saving throws.

Secondly, did you read the spell? It explicitly says the creature is not knocked unconscious as long as the excess damage isn't enough to reduce its NORMAL form to 0 hit points.

My favorite part was when Nightcrawler said "It's nightcrawlin' time!" and nightcrawled all over those guys.

For those who might not get the joke, someone gave Rick Santorum's surname an unpleasant alternate definition in order to shame him for opposing gay rights.

True, but without Tavern Brawler, unarmed strikes deal less damage than improvised weapons.

Ooh, pumpkin king and pumpkin tendrils too! Love it!

I noticed that in the credits at the bottom of the page too! I love MediEvil. Sir Dan has a special place in my childhood.

It's pretty decent. On top of the grappling bonus action, it gives you proficiency with improvised weapons. This helps when you're using your shield as an improvised weapon because your other hand is holding someone.

No, it's just Hasbro changing their distribution strategy.
