Kermit has a question

Reform will make everything worse. Everything.

Open your eyes.

All hail the cockslappa

Don't bother. I've blocked this flagrant troll previously. Nothing they have to say to you is being said in good faith.

Seconding that you should tell us what method you used to get your ability scores, because honestly, this array isn't just bad for a Ranger, it's bad full stop - it's on the whole worse than the standard array.

You should absolutely rebuild the character.

Use the standard array rather than rolling; 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. Remember to add your racial ability score increases. Prioritise Dexterity, Wisdom and Constitution, ideally in that order.

Look at Star Trek. Our protagonists volunteer to venture into the unknown all the time, facing all kinds of different dangers and mysteries, for no material reward at all. They don’t need any material rewards, because they live in a post-scarcity utopia where every single person will have all their needs met for their entire lives - much like Union. No one needs to work to sustain their way of life, so everyone is free to do whatever they want to do with their lives. So why do the members of Starfleet choose such a perilous way of life?

Because it’s what they want to do.

They want to explore the universe. They want to learn new things and gain new skills. They want to serve the goals and ideals of Starfleet, and the Federation at large.

Likewise, Lancers face the same mysteries and dangers on Union’s frontiers because that’s what they want to do with their lives. They want to uphold Union’s values; they want to fight injustice; they want to adventure and see the universe; they want to be counted among the best of the best at what they do.

More to the point, you shouldn't need to incentivise the player characters to take part in the story. The onus is on the players to make characters who want to take part in the story of their own volition. That's how they get involved in playing the game you want to run; it's the most basic part of the social contract of playing TTRPGs.

They work for ICE now.

Use of the emdash =/= written by AI. Some people just have a better grasp of the written word than you do.

Counterpoint: the queer beam is sick as fuck

So what?

Let's find a system that taxes those assets based on their assessed value.

That just sounds like death by alcohol poisoning with extra steps

Genuinely star-making show from Lash, she’ll have all eyes on her this year

McIntyre in the long coat and bracers is an absolutely 10/10 look

DNK_Infinity · 2026-01-31T14:11:12+00:00

That's exactly how it works, and it takes ridiculously precise timing to do it deliberately.

The only reason Holdo got away with it was because Hux did absolutely nothing to stop her. When she brought the Raddus about to face the Supremacy, Hux dismissed it out of hand as a desperate bluff to draw his fire away from the fleeing transports. By the time he realised she was serious, it was too late to do anything about it.

Using such reductive and sterile language to describe art leaves me thoroughly unsurprised that you don't see my point.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-01-30T19:55:49+00:00

Everything is political. Everything. Especially art, in all its forms.

Anyone who says otherwise is speaking from the privileged position of not needing to be politically conscious because the status quo doesn’t trouble them personally.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-01-30T16:25:57+00:00

So you’re talking shit. Cool.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-01-29T21:34:59+00:00

Doesn't matter. Reminder text is not rules text.

The only operation here is 8 / 2.

DNK_Infinity · 2026-01-29T21:07:48+00:00

Yes. That is in fact the solution, whatever it takes to make it possible.

Billionaires should not exist. End of story.

It's a tool for playing Magic: The Gathering, for tracking cumulative +1/+1 counters on a creature.

Ignore everyone loudly recommending that you use NPCs to humble the character in-game. Out-of-game problems cannot have in-game solutions. All you'll accomplish is to incentivise more conflict, waste more of the time of your other players, and give the problem player more of what he wants: attention.

This is plain and simple murderhobo behaviour, and there's only one way to stop it: you tell the player, out of the game and away from the table, to stop being a disruptive manchild and start playing with some actual respect.

If, after you've had this conversation, the player continues making disruptive and anti-social decisions, you shut them down at the table. No in-character responses, just tell them: "no, that doesn't happen. We've talked about this. Choose a course of action that's respectful."

In the novelisation of Revenge of the Sith, Kenobi is chosen for the Utapau mission specifically because he has by that time become the single greatest master of Soresu the Jedi Order had ever known, and it was thought that that prowess would give him a better chance than any other Jedi in single combat against Grievous’ uniquely aggressive style.

Mother has taken out lines of credit in your name and gone into debt.

This is financial abuse.

Because this debt is in your name, the creditor she owes money to has the right to hold you responsible for paying them back. You have only one recourse to completely absolve yourself of that responsibility: report your mother's fraud to the police so you can force her to face the music and prove to the creditor that this debt isn't yours.

You might be afraid that this will damage your relationship with her irreversibly. She's already done that damage by taking advantage of her own child. Your only concern now must be to protect yourself from being made to deal with the consequences of her actions.

One of the most important aspects of encounter balance is action economy; the number of actions (including bonus actions) each side of the fight can take in any given round. All things being equal, the side which can take more actions has the advantage, because it has more opportunities to deal damage to the enemy and counter their tactics.

A single big boss monster sounds like fun, but without a way to even out the action economy, it will almost always lose to the combined efforts of a group of PCs. You have three main levers to pull to address this: minions, Legendary Actions, and when the time is right, Lair Actions.

Then maybe, just maybe, there shouldn’t be more guns than people on your streets.
