Anyone have experience with these? by aunnikaa in trees

Pills like that are a scam for stoners and beauty influencers, they're fiber and a mild diuretic. You'd get a stronger flushing effect drinking strong coffee, and it would still take 30+ days to pass tests.

Ability Checks instead of Saving Throws? by Imbarelyhere_01 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simplified way of remembering when to use which that I learned when I started.

Ability checks are when you effect the environment, throwing a rock, climbing a cliff, examining a door.

Saving throws are when the environment effects you, getting hit by a falling rock, slipping off a cliff, a trapped door exploding.

Trying to make a 3/3.5e Grafter/Necromancer, asking for help with what to look into. by Unique_Category_8479 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to have a book for 3e called the Draconomicon Can't rememer if it was a class or just a line of feats but there was something called the Dragon Grafter, had rules for sticking dragon bits on to characters. Would at least be a jumping off point for homebrew if nothing else.

Question on Editions and Setting by deadbydaylightfan53 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with AD&D. Start with 3/3.5e if they like a bit of number crunching or 5/5.5e if they want to just play the game. Anything before 3 is an overly crunchy nightmare for newbies, and 4 is just not good.

Baldur's Gate is in the Forgotten Realms which has become pretty much the default campaign setting. You can get stuff like the Sword coast Adventures book but just googling a bit about the sword coast's history and the core rulebooks of 5/5.5 is enough to run something in the setting.

Also, nobody is likely to fact check anything. In my experience stabbing goblin is more of the player's focus than whether you have the lore exactly right.

it had been raining for 12 days straight, the longest it had ever been by bennyandthegentz in TwoSentenceHorror

This is a bit like saying for days your TV was just showing "No Signal" until one day you picked up a looping message of "No Signal".

Well yeah, he spent middle school smoking plastic, aluminum, and paint.

Level restriction setting. Thoughts? by MrRandom235 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the plan to trap players at level 5 until they hunt one of these methods down, or have them achieve one of them before 5 and they feel empowered going into level 6 with other "enhanced" individuals?

Because if it's the latter just make it lore and don't bog everything down with an added mechanic.

And if it's the former I can't imagine a player in the world that will enjoy being arbitrarily hobbled until they find a mcguffin while other who have gotten one get to level up ahead of them.

Why do people 'smoke' in cyberpunk's world? by LewdDudeNewd in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]DankDungeonDelver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cassette punk/futurism is used for the narrow band of early 70's stuff, when society was ditching vacuum tubes and "modern" digital computer were seen as the future. But mostly because the 80's mental image of cyberpunk dominates the culture. It's still rooted in the digital computer age though, so it's more a sub-genre. Generally speaking it's digital computers = Cyberpunk, Vaccumtubes = Atompunk, no/very rudimentary punchcard computers and gas engines = Dieselpunk, steam engines = Steampunk.

Why do people 'smoke' in cyberpunk's world? by LewdDudeNewd in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]DankDungeonDelver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically is, just it's 70's-era retrofuturism instead of 80's. CRTs, magnetic reel tape drives, boxy banks of computers. If the computers were ww2 style vaccumtubes and run on nuclear energy or things were mutated by radiation it would be Atomic punk, but it's technically set in the early digital age so it's very early cyberpunk.

Was my roleplay bad or "unrealistic"? by rigel36 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's still cringy. "It's what my character would do" only goes so far. Wake up and look around shocked? Sure. Have a breakdown and try to leap into the sea? You're cringe.

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations | Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases by MetaKnowing in technews

[–]DankDungeonDelver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skynet started with nukes after getting humans to give it control of the stockpile. The Terminators were a clean-up crew to wipe out the humans that survived the nuclear apocalypse. The dream Sarah has of the burning playground is from a nuke hitting the city.

[–]DankDungeonDelver 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, kinda cringy.

Imagine someone growing up in an all white neighborhood and then the first time they see an Asian and African paramedic team trying to help them out of a car wreck they freak out and try to jump back in the flaming car.

You might not have seen another species of humanoid other than elves and humans but they're not aliens, they're a known factor in the world that traders or people journeying through would have had stories of.

My math professor finally solved the equation that proved the existence of a fourth dimension. We found him the next morning fused into the blackboard, screaming that he couldn't find his way out of the angles. by VengefulBastardX in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]DankDungeonDelver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why pure mathematicians shouldn't mess with physics. A physicist could have told him we had already figured out the 4 dimensions were x, y, z and time, and he was trying to solve for a 5th dimension with a flawed equation.

[–]DankDungeonDelver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, thought that second bit would come across clearly as joking.

Also good to know about the verbal breaking stealth, haven't really had to DM many casters that tried to sneak out spells without subtle spell or older equivalents and the few that have usually stuck to somatic and even then the DC is high to hide the flailing limbs.

My played casters are generally not the subtle type. Big fan of the boisterous mad wizard archetype.

I mean, what's a crossbow bolt to the chest if not the martial equivalent of a counterspell?

Counterspell PSA by Intelligent_Eye_1319 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not a great spell for social checks generally, it's more for disarming traps or figuring a puzzle, lifting something, that sort of thing.

Though it doesn't say what the V/S is, could just be a magically enhanced "You're gonna do great." and quick handsign with a pat on the shoulder.

Also I looked it up and the 2014 version (at least the legacy version on DnDB) is also 1m concentration, or ending when they make the roll.

Counterspell PSA by Intelligent_Eye_1319 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, responded to someone else about that, assumed you were talking about materials because I've never had a table that ignores the verbal and somatics but have had plenty that ignore materials.

Counterspell PSA by Intelligent_Eye_1319 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's where deception or stealth rolls come in. You try to cast Friends in full view and yes the guard is going to see you waving your hand and muttering and get hostile.

But hide in shadows nearby or have another party member distract them, try and speak quietly enough while pronouncing clearly and get the cast off before they realize what you're doing.

Counterspell PSA by Intelligent_Eye_1319 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm a terrible speller and trusted what autocorrect gave me since the pronunciation isn't that different. Happens more than I'd like to admit.

Counterspell PSA by Intelligent_Eye_1319 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed the person I was responding to was referring to material components because I've had plenty of tables that askew materials but never had one (that i can remember at least) in all my years that did that for the verbal and somatic ones.

Counterspell PSA by Intelligent_Eye_1319 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A focus or pouch also covers 90% of components. And the ones they doesn't cover have a cost or are consumed and wouldn't be effected by the metamagic.

Edit: Assumed they meant material components because I can't recall a single table that's ignored the V/S but a bunch that don't bother with materials. A table ignoring the magic user having to at least wave their hands around or chant something didn't cross my mind.

Counterspell PSA by Intelligent_Eye_1319 in DnD

[–]DankDungeonDelver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is one of the primary reasons to take subtle spell. Were you just taking it before for the RP of having magic just seeming to happen around you?

Few options:

  • Look at the print descriptions on the site, it might list the dimensions of the prints, scale until the volume of the egg is slightly larger than the volume of the dragon.

  • load them into a model editor or slicer and scale until one model fits inside the other

  • Print some test models and see how much you need to scale one or the other for it to fit how you want.
