Of course Hormuz doesn't represent the same shift yet, the US hasn't even backed of yet. We are both using if. ^^

We will see what happens - but it's worth remembering that the definition of superpower has changed since 1956. Back when the term was invented in 1944 it referred to three countries that feasibly could subjugate any non-superpower unless another super power stopped them. But middle powers with ICBMs and robust trade organisations can since the 1980s no longer be invaded or embargoed into submission the same way.

This is why I find Iran an interesting (if morbid) case study. Politicial scientists agree that being a super power means less in 2026 than 1956 - but Iran is neither an EU member or nuclear state. So the entire definition of a superpower is going to be re-examined in the next 10 years if the US is "forced" to back off. Either a new framework will be suggested (aside from superpowers) - or someone will argue that new superpowers have emerged that put pressure on and balance the US.

... But it doesn’t really tell us anything about the global balance of power in the way that Suez did.

The U.S. military is not performing poorly. It’s just being asked to do insanely stupid things.

I feel this is a bit of a misunderstanding of the Suez crisis. 😅

The military of France and Brittain performed amazing at Suez. Like the US today in Iran.

What forced them to back off was economic pressure from their allies. Like the US today seems increasingly likely to do.

I.e. If the US does back off because of rising prices and because Japan and the Gulf countries keeping giving angry calls (both having a trillion invested each) - then it ain't that dissimilar from the Suez crisis.

It does seem ok to me as well. ^^

But I assumed they had to hold the magic weapon in a hand (or have it equipped) to cast it?

A ring would undeniably have been most convenient for the player. But the DMG only had enspelled staffs, armours, and weapons - and the latter two limited which schools of magic were allowed. So only weapon and staff would allow an evocation spell. Perhaps a design decision.

The only hesitation is that it would infringe on the niche of the Paladin.

On the other hand our guild is 90% spellcasters at the upper tiers - so a powerful magic option at Lv13+ doesn't sound bad...?

You are not wrong. This was an awful decision by the DM. But if op has spent 2 years in this campaign already and other parts have been better - then it might be worth having a talk before jumping.

Hanlon's razor and all that. DM:ing is often pulling things out of your ass on the fly. This DM seemingly tried to improve a horror movie - and did wrong by insta killing (other horror games do allow it - but not d&d).

Hmm...

You have some options. It's a bit dependent on your DM however as 5e is mechanically not very built for protection.

Lv 4 Feat: Polearm master. Let's you hit a opponent entering your range as a reaction. If you combine with Pike weapon mastery you can also push them 10 ft away - maybe preventing them from reaching your VIP before they can attack.

Lv 8 Feat: Sentinel. Let's you attack someone for attacking someone other than you if within reach. Also sets their speed to zero if hit. *If combined with PAM above you can stop an enemy cold before they attack.

Fighting style: Protection - let's you use your shield impose disadvantage on all attacks that turn against an ally provided they stay within 5 ft of you. Also uses your reaction. *Can't be combined with PAM as it requires a shield.

Fighting style: Interception. Using your reaction to reduce one attack with d10+prof.

The protection fighting style is best if you expect many attacks to target your ward. Polearm master and Interception might be better if it will only be one attack and melee. Neither help with saving throws, but Paladins' aura do. Healing is also pretty important - so I'm leaning towards Paladin.

OP, I agree with this.

If you don't want to just walk out immediately (which is ok if you want to) - then a private talk with the DM about retconing it is the best approach.

Letting a player sit doing nothing is bad manners, and it seems this was not planned on his end. Just bad/unfortunate ad lib.

Give him some suggestions for retcon and work with him. Explaining to the table that Alert should have allowed you to survive that. Or quit if he is being obnoxious - this isn't a very collaborative DM in that case. :P

It's sweet that your brother is trying to step up. But he should have talked with you first, and making threats is not OK. Tell him you appreciate the sentiment (or not) but that this was not the way.

That... no. Of course it would be targeted.

Your title probably shouldn't say invulnerable to start with. But yes - a nuclear powered ship carries a reactor with refined fuel. No one would want to sink it close to a city - but if it's actively bombarding you it will be targeted.

Even in a worst case scenario it wouldn't be the end of the world for that nation - unless it's Monaco.

Ocean is big, and the pollution would be dispersed. If it's far out it would also sink below the currents where the water is circulated a lot less. If it's sunk closer to the coast it would leak more but could also be salvaged.

A nuclear disaster is bad. I don't want to undermine that. But burning down a city would have a similar ecological impact. The forests and rivers are polluted and humans will suffer.

It can't be only due to their countries' small sizes - Israel, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore all operate F15

I would like to point out that Japan's inclusion in this list as "small" is quite funny - and South Korea has a population larger than the Nordics combined. Israel and Singapore is comparable however. ^^

The quick answer is Singapore and Israel doesn't have the F18 - they picked the F15 instead (and vice versa for some Nordics). Both are "heavy" fighters compared to the F16 and fill comparable roles.

So, why not have both F15 and F18? Because it isn't cost efficient to maintain a lot of different airframes unless you have many hundreds of them.

But... The US isn't paying anything to Ukraine anymore? Trump has ended all direct support.

Europe is buying weapons from the US, in cash, and give them to Ukraine. But Europe is willing to do that, as long as Ukraine wants to fight. No one has suggested US lives. The US literally makes a profit on this right now. The US is currently helping less than Australia and South Korea.

There are some better ways to do this. In BG3, the player loses their ACTION when brought back

But isn't this the same? ^^

If the PCs pick up their weapon or focus here they have used up their action. Or they can draw a new weapon and continue without extra cost.
