Ooops

Nope, this is “Your system ran out of memory and now this program isn’t reacting anymore (it’s trying to allocate memory but there is no free memory left). Please stop the program or try to get rid of some of its subprocesses to free up memory.”

Canonical is basically the closed to corporate Linux you will find on the free distro market… They are pushing stuff you don’t want for marketing reasons (for example their own proprietary Snaps when a better working open source solution already exists with Flatpack), love their telemetry (can be mostly disabled for now, but given the defaults and their other behavior we can already see where this is heading) and in general decide more alongside their latest business plan than actually making sense or listening to users.

But that’s okay as it’s rolling release and unlike other distros you only need to do it exactly once…

My first thought was: So Slackware works very well but is ugly as hell?

A fighter role getting another fighter alongside him vs. a skill monkey having it’s only job threatened…

Flavorful characters can be quite OP in their specific area of expertise (no pun intended) and bad at other stuff.

Why do we always need to pretend that it’s one or the other?

Fire itselt doesn’t necessarily leave marks on the stone floor unless it’s long and hot enough to melt stone, that’s just byproducts of stuff not burning properly.

The testing familiar -just like yours- didn’t leave any traces in all the trial runs, it just vanished to its realm of origin.

Now, continue playing your class instead of cosplaying as a rules lawyer.

Nice try… but there are too many hobby historians involved in fantasy rpg’s to not know that a D4 is THE original die. Much older than that stupid cube we -even with all our modern tech- can barely bring to be really balanced and rolling well.

We have the ability to make Tuberculosis not exist and have for half a century.

Please tell me more. My knowledge about this must be very outdated.

There are a lot of things that are really only failing for a lack of distributing ressources. But Tubercolosis (where our once widely used vaccine was mostly ineffective in eradicating it and the treatment is complicated and long requiring monitoring of each patient because of the possibility of secondary infection from the antibiotics or organ damage) is not what comes to my mind first, second or for quite a while.

In fact in both cases research is ongoing in search for more effective vaccines and easier treatments (primarily for shorter treatment periods as well as against the multiple antibiotic resistences), because our tools today are not actually up to the task.

Blessing of the trickster can target any willing creature but yourself, so in reality it’s on the paladin. Always. So the weak link here would actually the trickster cleric… but then what they actually use on themselves in pass without a trace, also affecting everyone.

C’mon… Plate wearers in a stealthy group are so iconic and still you mess up the meme by including the one combination where everyone is very stealthy, even the guy in the clanging metal.

Do such idiot GMs really exist or are they just made up for the memes?

maybe they just revive you and kill you again to reset the timer

The Gentle Repose industry will object…

Malware for desktop users is the low hanging fruit with little rewards. You just hear about it because it’s so rediculous easy.

The real money is on servers, so that’s were real money/work is invested to develop malware for much higher gains. How successful are they again?

Always has been…

Yes.

Are you telling him he’s having fun on the internet wrong? :D

what’s ur sine?

I hate those kind of puns but this one is creative enough to get a pass for now… 🐻

Organic? Yes. Living? Nope…

They are made from wood, metal or stone frames with “root-like cords infused with alchemy” as muscles and covered in armored plates. They don’t sleep, don’t eat, don’t drink, don’t breath and are immune to disease.

Their “living quality” is basically just being sentient and not the dumb mindless constructs formerly build.

The part about getting healed normally is mostly balancing… After all healing in D&D terms is mostly magical so why wouldn’t it apply to a magically created sentient creature? It’s not like magic needs (micro-)biology concepts to work. Sentience being the deciding factor between an object and a creature from a view point of magical theory works, too.

(Funnily enough that’s in fact even consistent with rest of D&D magic where a dead body -at least strictly speaking- stops being a creature and becomes an object the moment the concience/soul/whatever leaves…)

Basic descriptions aren’t necessary but helping in a lot of cases. And in some it’s completely the same (“I want to roll an insight check” vs. “Do I believe his story?” - there’s simply no describeable process making a difference).

Also players are different… I won’t punish a guy playing a high int, high charisma character for not coming up with a logical or persuasive argument (and again “I want to talk to him to change his mind” vs. “I want to roll for persuasion” is all the same here), just as I don’t punish a nerd playing a barbarian for not actually being able to lift a person one-armed.

But then I know my players and assume new additions are acting in good faith to their best ability and not just roll-playing because they want to have more time to focus on Candy Crush.
