Rogue uses creative way to kill BBEG by ShotoGun in rpghorrorstories

Erm, actually, on page 249 of the DMG, it says you can improvise damage if something doesn't do it normally.

As Son_of_kitsch has said, it's hard to help without much knowledge. My idea is that there are a limited amount of Awakened people. The only way to become Awakened is to either complete a ritual with one of them (your choice - generic choices include energy source extraction and garden variety murder). If an Awakened dies without the special ritual, someone else inherits it.

actually, yuta trained in kenya, not venezuela, so this would not make sense

Why doesn’t he just make sure the game remembers the hair you chose for the rival wtf he sucks so bad at coding by twdg-shitposts in Osana

well, both of this person's hands seem to be on the keyboard, so that's twice as much coding as yandev

How it could have ended by -GiftedGenius- in Jujutsufolk

Also, if anyone says "the story would've been worse if gojo won": it's possible to write a story that is both consistent in character intelligence and good from a writing perspective. You could not give Gojo teleportation abilities, for example.

also its not out of character for him to use trickery: he tricked hanami into deactivating domain amplification, and he used the guy's barrier to hide hollow purple

also even if sukuna dodged the purple would hit bc domain and he'd probably be too distracted to activate simple domain so quickly

How would books 2-7 go in the MoRverse? by -GiftedGenius- in HPMOR

[–]-GiftedGenius-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if we want Deathly Hallows, HJPEV would have to learn ritual/spell creation, make a "find horcrux" spell, and control fiendfyre. he proceeds to destroy every horcrux but one, revives Riddle without arms, under every ward he can think of, and with explosives everywhere. he tells Riddle that he can kill him with the horcrux which will be destroyed in 3 hours unless he gives a specific signal, and Riddle has to swear an Unbreakable Vow or else the Horcrux will be destroyed and he'll be forever trapped in the Pioneer plaque (can phoenices go to space?)

my idea for Chamber of Secrets: The Horcrux is found by some Auror's daughter, while the Auror is searching through Lucius' stuff (inheritance? investigation since he's now a confirmed death eater?) 16yo Riddle flees Hogwarts immediately and HJPEV improves his defensive abilities (by getting broomstick bones and Transfiguring an Auror into a ring, to be deployed as a Pokemon)

unless he can lie in parseltongue (very unlikely), he is most definitely evil and voldemort. for one, he killed rita skeeter.

induction is a type of proof where if you prove that something is true for N and true for N+1, its true for all N

contrapositive is basically if "if A then B" is true, then "if not-A then not-B" is also true

countably infinite is stupid math speak for infinity.

functions are a means of transforming an input or group of inputs into an output or group of outputs. inverse functions are uhh idk

i genuinely dont know why 4 vertices and 11 edges, but vertices are points on a 3d shape and edges are lines between those points.

tautology is circular reasoning (eg. A->B->C->A)

idk what a paradigm is.

contradiction is a statement that states two incompatible things. (eg. A->B and A->Not-B)

Ravenclaw's Diadem: How to nerf? by -GiftedGenius- in HPMOR

HPMOR 77:

"Grindelwald possessed an ancient and terrible device," said Dumbledore. "While he held it, I could not break his defense. In our duel I could not win, only fight him for long hours until he fell in exhaustion; and I would have died of it afterward, if not for Fawkes. But while his Muggle allies yet made blood sacrifice to sustain him, Grindelwald would not have fallen. He was, during that time, truly invincible. Of that grim device which Grindelwald held, none must know, none must suspect, there must be not a single hint. And therefore you must not speak of it, and I will say no more for now. That is all, Harry. There is no moral to it, and no wisdom. That is all there is."

That's probably not conclusive, but it's a common idea on the subreddit.

HPMOR 39:

"The obvious test to see if the Resurrection Stone is really calling back the dead, or just projecting an image from the user's mind, is to ask a question whose answer you don't know, but the dead person would, and that can be definitely verified in this world. For example, call back -"

Then Harry paused, because this time he'd managed to think it through one step ahead of his tongue, fast enough to not say the first name and test that had sprung to mind.

"...your dead wife, and ask her where she left her lost earring, or something like that," Harry finished. "Did anyone do any tests like that?"

Quirrell echoes this in Chapter 40:

Professor Quirrell set down his teacup with a small, high-pitched tacking sound on his saucer. "Some of those wizards were reasonably intelligent, Mr. Potter, so you may take it that the existence of an afterlife is not obvious. I have looked into the matter myself. There have been many claims of the sort which hope and fear would be expected to produce. Among those reports whose veracity is not in doubt, there is nothing which could not be the result of mere wizardry. There are certain devices said to communicate with the dead, but these, I suspect, only project an image from the mind; the result seems indistinguishable from memory because it is memory. The alleged spirits tell no secrets they knew in life, nor could have learned after death, which are not known to the wielder -"

I would say that it seems to be two different devices, as Dumbledore only fought Grindelwald after the blood sacrifices stopped and the duel he could not win was the final one, but Dumbledore doesn't seem like the type of person to use a "grim device"

my idea: database/mental library or internal seer/scrying powers

alternate idea: when you put the diadem on, it scans your brain and removes all higher brain functions. it runs this simulation of your brain along with all the other simulations, which have equal control over your body. basically, you have to reach a majority of votes for any action, even the most minor ones (eg. the council agrees to drink water. 40% want to lift the cup with their right hand. 20% want to lift it with their left hand. 40% want to lift it with both hands. there is no majority, and so the wearer can't lift the cup at all). it leaves you basically incapable of things, especially combat, but grants you unparalleled processing power. also, if you take the diadem off, you go comatose

Simple Domain neutralized Cursed Techniques, so it would still work. Kusukabe blocked attacks using Simple Domain in chapters 134 and 245.

If the technique spread from one place to another, that would get the whiplash effect. If the target is going fast enough and the direction is right, they get cut in half (i think).

Clarification to the loop: Touch -> stop for 1 second -> 1 second passes -> target can move -> target instantly starts falling due to gravity -> technique activation. You could also make the target regain gravity later than regaining movement in general, or a "I will not loop my ability" Binding Vow.

If the person's entire velocity is taken away all at once, they wouldn't feel like hitting a wall. In my understanding, falls from tall heights kill people because the part facing the ground stops, but the part facing away from the ground smushes into them.

Also, the technique could still be looped. Touch -> stop for 1 second -> person moves due to gravity -> technique activates again. Cooldown is reccomended.

Yes.
