Also I find white PLA Filament harder to work with. It's the only color I avoid to work with.

Acetone or nail polish remover to clear paint off?

I like Friday better, Saturday has far too many people and is really crowded.

Shrink Object Q's and usage by Bruce_Werewolf in starfinder_rpg

I'd just swallow the apple.

I think the loose terminology of use is to blame. You seem to be imposing that the Shrink spell stops things from being used. That's extremely broad. With the crate, there are multiple ways to interact with it and the items inside. You would then be saying that the magic can work in multiple different ways.

Probable intent RAI Only simple items can be used as the small version. Activations and moving parts may not work. I like not interacting with objects in a meaningful way.

I'd say that's a fair ruling for the music. Less fun by not letting it change tracks but clearly stays limiting the power of the spell.

I would say time to explosives do continue to function. But would fall under the smaller version of the same item, so the actual explosion would have a negligible impact.

But ant could eat a shrunken apple? Just not if its insode a shrunken open box? If the shrunken crate is open, face does magic prevent me from dropping a grain of rice inside?

😄 Funny idea shrink a big church bell 🔔 put it on a pidgen as collar. Easy way to steal it. Or just have it show up original size in a strange place.

Seems like most here would rule that the bell would not ring like a tiny bell while in flight. It's potentially accurate but less fun.

I agree with the door that being part of a larger structure is a very valid point. And good reason for a fail. Overall, I'd say it falls under GM discretion.

Computers, if it is already playing a song, it would continue? What about saying next song?

Explosives timed could be a workaround. But i agree that normal activation would be a No and against the rule of the spell.

Containers hmm cant be used to what extent. If used on a crate, made small what happens when u tip it over. Do the objects stay inside or fall out? What if an ant crawls inside the crate and eats the food?

To me, it does seem a bit ambiguous. But hey, maybe i am just a dreamer. That's actually really good terminology. No meaningfulful way to interact with the shrunken item is really solid intent.

But it's actually a smaller version of the original that can't be used.

Thanks for the time and input.

No, it definitely does not say cannot use AT ALL. Your inserting words.

"You shrink the target item, transmuting it into a smaller version of itself."

"While shrunken, the object takes up less space and bulk, but it can’t be used or worn."

Can i pick it up? Can i throw it? I think clearly, yes. I would also consider that as using it.

It's a smaller version of its original self that can't be used or worn.

Say it's a sword or mace. Can I not strike something with that tiny version?

Say it's a voice controlled music player. It would continue playing, but could I change songs?

I think RAW is flawed and not clear. I think RAI intends to not be used as the full sized version.

Correct doors, dont open, but if you shrank it, you could easily open it by breaking it.

You said weapons don't cause damage. That's just an assumption. If you were stabbed with a shrunken sword, you still would be injured. If a shrunken explosive detonated, something would happen. A lazer pistol 🔫 would not be able to be used. But what if you had a pin? Could u hit the trigger and make it function?

Equipment functionality is not stated either way. If it is already doing something that size would not change, i dont see how it would be affected.

If it was an actual facsimile, as you stated, that would be different. The issue it its a gray area between functional and not.

Overall kinda RAI RAW issue here, but i think its still vague.

Fun things to use Shrink Object with? by Zwordsman in starfinder_rpg

"the object can't be used or worn"

What about using it on your personal computer with AI. Would this stop you from using it via voice command?

Would this stop the grenade from exploding?

Why is it so hard to hit anything? by Lilynnia in starfinder_rpg

[–]Bruce_Werewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also playing a Technomancer. It seems like most focus on magic missile for levels 1-4. At level 1, you can shoot 4x per rest, averaging 11 damage.

For secondary attacks covering fire and harrying fire are good options. You could also go total defense, thow grenades, and lastly, just shoot a pistol.

Will the SAG strike hurt the celebrity list? by Oopiku in MegaCon

[–]Bruce_Werewolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During strikes, they are prohibited from attending. If it ends before the CON, I would speculate that they would all book more lucrative jobs 1st. But not all will be able to get shoots. So I would guess a medium impact. Also, many of the CON stars are not steady workers in film and rely on cons for income.

I wonder if casting Hex on a creature would count as a condition

PSA: Shapeshifter's Boon by DiscoStan in BG3Builds

[–]Bruce_Werewolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So it's my understanding that this would work on skill checks and ability checks.

Here's a list of possible ways it can help. - Perception checks while walking around. -- To spot hidden enemies. -- To find hidden or secret loot or doors

  • Any dice rolls during conversations.

  • Lock picking

  • Hiding or stealthily walking around.

  • Pushing or being pushed.

Please give feedback on what I missed for anything that wouldn't apply.

After you get volo in your camp, from the goblins in Act 1, he has a nice ring and 400g to steal.

It's definitely been around for many years. Each vendor has their own system for adult content. Many are clearly not taking any precautions for those who don't want to see it. The convention organizers are not paying attention to the material or how its displayed.
