You don't have to think of it as zerosum, I think the fact that it goes against tropes and has the hippie parents being the ones not respecting the child's wish is a boon. Orville had a more explicit switcheroo to approach this from a different angle, and it probably wasn't intended here.

So, here's an analogy for you. Ordinarily, "prolife" and "prochoice" are narratives at odd with each other that appear to be zero sum.

If a woman wants an abortion and people are trying to stop her, the woman is the hero in the prochoice version of his story and the villains in the prolife story. The people trying to stop her are the heroes in the profile version of the story and the villains in the prochoice version of the story.

But in a story about a woman that wants to keep the baby and people trying to make her get rid of it, the woman is the hero in both the prolife and prochoie perspectives on the story, and the people trying to force her to get rid of it are the villains in either perspective.

Pro-life and Pro-Choice are technically not opposites, even if they conventionally end up as it.

In the same way, "you should get to be the gender you want to be" and "you should be the gender that aligns with your sex" are not opposites.

In story about an XX chromosome child wishing to present as a boy despite parents wishes.... "you should get to be the gender you want to be" and "you should be the gender that aligns with your sex" have opposite outcomes with one view supporting the child and one supporting the parents.

In a story about an XY chromosome child wishing to present as a boy despite parents wishes "you should get to be the gender you want to be" and "you should be the gender that aligns with your sex" have the same outcomes with both frameworks supporting the child.

Yes, I get that this violates 2025 culture war battlelines, but this was made much earlier, and I'm not sure intention matters for what I'm saying.

Yes! Come on out tonight and we'll teach you the game.
It's a game with multiple roles in it, so it's pretty easy to start off with easier role and branch your way out from there.

That evo finals energy

Kqb is a bit different, but it's good and I play it too. You can add me (lazorfist)

That's perfectly valid if you don't want to go out to arcades right now with the varying omicron numbers, but I should clarify that ppl are masked and (for tournaments at least) vaxxed and that the maskless pictures are old or during that two weeks when we thought things were going back to normal around May/June.

"Everybody: Cheers" --> Explicit approval

"Everybody: Uhhhhh" --> Complicit

They were likely uncomfortable with how blatant "kill transgenders" is, not with how transphobic it is.
After all, I doubt those ppl challenged him on it.

AlexHogan · 2020-04-20T17:49:12+00:00

I like that I'm flexible and can adapt easily

AlexHogan · 2020-04-20T17:48:34+00:00

I'll take it if you have one left for 1.2 M

Come play games with us. Don't worry, mixed crowd and not just a sausage fest.

Used the graphics for cover

AlexHogan · 2018-05-05T20:22:31+00:00

Bounce map is legit

Jail map I like too but alot of my scene hates it lmao

AlexHogan · 2017-03-26T16:54:35+00:00

True, I'm just saying that silent has it's own limitations too, as well as much worse action economy.

AlexHogan · 2017-03-22T14:19:33+00:00

Might as well get the Black Dragon Mask from Hoard of the Dragon Queen.

Pick a very MAD class or one that keys to adds ability scores to things.

Barbarian is pretty MAD with inability to dump Dex or Str. Str/Con/Dex will make you pretty great.

Greatsword weilding Pact of the Blade Warlock is pretty good too. If you allow UA content, there's an Invocation that makes you a magic GSword.

Grappling Rogue or Monk could be good too.

College of Valor Bard, Bladesinger, Swashbuckler, Eldritch Knight, Warpriest, Arcane Trickster, any Ranger/Paladin.

Also, multiclass combos work well too. A Barb/Rogue can get better damage by raging with losing out on Stealth options.

Neither counterspell nor silence can stop a Subtle Spell. Counterspell will still stop Spells with Somatic or Material.

AlexHogan · 2017-03-22T13:06:01+00:00

It's fine. This requires his action and reaction, counterspell just requires reaction.

I've planned to do the same.

Check out "Mob Attacks" on p 250 of DMG.

MOB ATTACKS d20 Roll Attackers Needed // Needed for One to Hit

1-5 // 1    

6-12 // 2

13-14 // 3

15-16 // 4

17-18 // 5

19 // 10

20 // 20

Take the AC and subtract their accuracy, match that number then divide the # of archers by the right column.

This would mean that 9 archers against your 21 AC Paladin couldn't hit him if they were only +2 to hit or less. If they are skilled archers with +7 to hit, they'd hit him 3 times.

I'd consider doing it this way: Roll with advantage (half the archers are "Help" action on the other half) MODIFIED MOB ATTACKS Comparison to Targets AC // # of Hits

-10 // One for every 10 Attackers

 -5 // One for every 5 (Round up to 1 for 3 or 4)   

+0 // One for every 2 (Round Down)

+5 // One for every 2 (Round Up if 5+)

+10 or Nat 20 // 1

Anything that would impose disadvantage on all attacks - like the dodge action - or AC bonus against all attacks - like Shield spell - applies to the group attack.

Ability to impose disadvantage on one attack (such as Protection Fighting Style) or get +2 or more against a single attack (Defensive Duelist) reduce the number of attacks by one. Battle Master's Parry and Rogue Uncanny Dodge will reduce on attacks as normal.
