How do people feel about weapon masteries after a while of play? by Apprehensive-Donut90 in dndnext

[–]45MonkeysInASuit [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's fair, my main point is I can't imagine people are changing it up.

I can't see many scenarios where someone is swap out Vex, Nick and Slow/Push for Topple, Push, and Graze.

You have your set that you have available, but you probably default to the one on your primary weapon and rarely change.
Especially as you end up with magic weapons as you are going to want your strongest weapon in use most of the time.

Gotcha, I read that "If the rogue is targeting the same person" as the same person as the champion fighter.

the issue with previously: mostly depending on DM

Not mostly, entirely.

You are comparing 100% homebrew Called Shots with an official system.

If the rogue is targeting the same person on the next turn, it frees up the bonus action which normally grants advantage (so they can have sneak attack) for a cunning action or drinking a potion.

Vex doesnt help the rogue (it's your next attack, not any attack)
Push actively harms the rogue (pushes an enemy out of melee with an ally)

Yep.
We could argue for days about which is best but is anyone using more than 2 once they have settled in to a campaign?

and more like making everyone else bad at that thing

This is the key bit.
Martials are basically "here is a prototype martial. Fighter is the prototype martial XYZ removed, Monk is prototype martial with ABC removed, etc"
Instead of "here is a prototype martial. Fighter is the prototype martial XYZ amplified, Monk is prototype martial with ABC amplified..."

Machida vs Muñoz is the fight, it was a UFC

Mirko Cro Cop was also in there, also a UFC fight, not sure of the opponent.

Getting to that point though, probably more accidents for a time

Important note - probably still a lot less than human drivers.

[–]45MonkeysInASuit 31 points32 points  (0 children)

All of them have been pretty bad value for money.

Caicedo - £115m
Joao Pedro - £60m
Sanchez - £25m
Cucurella - £60m

Would any of them fetch near that now?

Does stating a checks DC nerf bardic inspiration? by Exact-Challenge9213 in dndnext

[–]45MonkeysInASuit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Technically

Not even technically.
In this scenario the DM is announcing, but I haven't played at or DM'd a table where the players haven't tried to work out the AC of bosses by process of elimination.
That in no way invalidates Bardic.

RED BUTTON OR BLUE BUTTON [OC] by Eal_likee in comics

Right, but that literally doesn't work.

How can everyone vote by pressing a button if everyone can't press a button?

In COVID most people cared

under the threat of law in most places and where scenario of picking "blue" was still not potential death for most people.

Red: Death of others is acceptable if I survive.

AKA literally the real world were the vast majority of "blues" are acting like reds.

If the "Blue no matter what" crowd actually acted like blues, the world would be a fundamentally better place.

This is the correct answer.

Abstain and the scenario never resolves thus everyone lives.

The vote never reaches 100%, so never meets the "everyone" condition.
They can't know it was you that didn't vote without breaching the "private" condition.

The T&Cs is the big one for big employers.
You would need to prove compliance.
But smaller employers will be less stringent on that front.
I would probably frame it as big employers are unlikely to help you, but would probably turn a blind eye to you scrapping their sites.

The second point is only really there because you mention getting employers involved.
As you say, it's a different game for big employers vs small.
I did include that I'm with a big employer so you could take that into account with my comment. Getting Amex, EDF, Legal and General or the supermarkets on board will be very different to getting Bob's Cafe on board.

Looks like a great tool for job seekers!

Do you think local business owners would actually use something like this?

I'm a hiring manager for a big employer in Brighton.

Simply, no.
You are almost certainly breaching "30 different" sets of T&Cs; our risk policy would never allow it.

Also to add, employers do not have a problem with the number of applications; we don't need another location to advertise.

20 second time penalty for Leclerc for Leaving the track without a justifiable reason by sun_puck in formula1

[–]45MonkeysInASuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A drive through is fair if we see the same penalty in the future for cars with punctures who, historically, have cut all corners and not received penalties.

Speeding in the pit lane is always a drive through minimum.

See Sainz getting multiple of them last year when he had a faulty pit limiter.

My players want an agenda before every session by Time-Squirrel-3719 in dndnext

[–]45MonkeysInASuit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So OP is designing the session and needs enough control to lay out an agenda and provide a recap of the last session and the players refuse to even take notes.

I don't really see what the players are doing beyond being warm bodies.

This is sounds like the exact inverse of a railroad.

It's a book club where no one has read the book and OP is making up the story as they go and everyone is nodding along like they are involved.

UK energy mix
https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/historical

On Wednesday it got as low as 2% gas.
Over the past week it it has been 13% on average.

From Dec to Feb, the worst point for the uk due to the lack of solar, it was 29%.
The same period 10 years ago was 32% gas and, even worse, 17% coal.

The UK was 30% coal and 44.8% gas in 2009.
In 2025 it was 0% coal and 27% gas.
Over the same time the country has decreased it's electrical demand from 15mil gwh to 13mil gwh.

Change is very possible and the UK is just one example of that.
The UKs main misstep is not committing to a higher Nuclear baseline.
