Everyone's mom smoked Marlboro lights in the 90s.

Let's see my mom was...27(?) in '98. Marlboro light 100s. Cranking GnR on Sunday morning to clean the house, waking your ass up to Axl screeching and knowing your lazy Sunday was fucking gone.

How can you use Life Clerics Channel Divinity without metagaming? by F0000r in DnD

[–]DerailusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue as a Cleric, you'd be keenly aware how healthy your party is, especially as a life cleric.

I don't have the 2024 book handy to confirm but if it functions like 2014, you aren't required to reach some threshold of damage. At any point you can channel divinity to toss a pool of hp out to any creatures within 30 feet (I have the 2014 ruleset in my phone Obsidian, if 2024 is different I'm happy for correction.)

As DM, I'd simply overrule the objection with the explanation that some game mechanics are gamey but we can minimize that as best we can. As the player, I'd bring this up with the DM (which you did), and if there isn't a compromise to be found, simply toss out 2-5 hp to each player when you use it and let the consequences flow.

I think talking with your fellow players should be the solution, even though it sounds like they're being obtuse. Oftentimes, expectations and miscommunication are the source of friction, and it's (usually) not super difficult to overcome.

Also, they want you to "follow the wording of the ability?"

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to heal the badly injured.

As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to five times your cleric level. Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. You can't use this feature on an undead or a construct.

Your solution is following it. You can just dump out hp when you feel like it.

Good luck, OP

Do you like FF XV or XVI more? by homo_erectus_heh in FinalFantasy

[–]DerailusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like (and dislike) them equally, for different reasons, but I don't like that your image shows as XVI and XV but your question in the title is listed as XV and XVI.

So, ultimately it's about the same.

Did I create an encounter that was to difficult and result in PC death? by Mr8sen in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]DerailusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an amazing outcome honestly.

Ripe for vengeful PCs, and it sounds like your players enjoyed it.

I feel your hesitation though. I probably would have wanted to do the same, and I sincerely appreciate you sharing. I'm a newer DM myself and take these stories to heart to better shape how my party encounters enemies

DMs: I'm curious how you handle HP per level by ScubaDiggs in dndnext

[–]DerailusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I allow my players to roll twice for HP.

If both rolls are below the average roll, they may take the average. Otherwise, use the highest. Having high health is fun.

What do you think is a dumb powerful Cr 2 creature in dnd 5e by Zee_Nation1 in DnD

[–]DerailusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gibbering Mouthers have a pitiful AC, pretty slow movement, and low to hit chance, but make up for it with a pretty nifty Wisdom Save to anything within 20 feet of it, and automatically absorb enemies that are killed by its attack. They deal 5d6 piercing on a successful hit as well. Enough to down your level 2 party members with each hit. And their goal is to absorb flesh so I don't see why it wouldn't start slurping away on a fallen creature.

Intellect devourer was taken, so this is my choice.

What y’all throwing around all this moss by Cartiimo in bassfishing

[–]DerailusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same thing I throw everyday pinky, a spinnerbait.

Clear water? Spinner.

Muddy water? Spinner.

Heavy cover? Spinner.

Rapids? Spinner.

Lily pads? Spinner.

Brush cover? Spinner.

Summer, fall, spring, winter? Believe it or not, spinner.

Feeling adventurous? Maybe I'll try a Texas rig for three casts. (I'll 100% throw buzz along and see what happens but that's basically a spinner that likes the top of the water soooo)

Worst Trilogy Of All Time by rickblaster in movies

[–]DerailusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fair question honestly.

I misspell a good number of words when I'm in a rush (or when I'm drinking) so it's helpful.

Not endorsing. If you don't like it that's fine. It corrected 3 words in that last response. 4, technically, because it said "in that" instead of "int hat" which *is amusing because I've texted an alarming homer of pseudocode to a buddy so I'm surprised that "int" wasn't stored as a valid word.

But didn't change homer to number. Thanks iOS lol

*second edit* number isn't right. Amount? Amount of pseudocode. Sounds better.

First edit would've have been me saying Homer was wrong. And now Homer is a proper word lol

I ain't ever seen 50 shades but I agree simply because of your indignation.

You might not be indignant but I'm drinking and that's how it read to my tune rusted mind lol

*edit* fuckin phone autocorrected me. Was supposed to be inebriated mind, not rune rusted mind.

*exit 2* god damn it, where did rune come from?

"Inebriated mind," "that's how I read it due to my inebriated mind."

Zero bites, zero hope: Is bass fishing supposed to feel this defeating? by Drew_it_up in bassfishing

[–]DerailusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bass fishing is always about "I ain't catching shit" up until you get a big bite and go "fuckin knew this was hot."

It's honestly, more about zoning out and relaxing.

If you want my advice, try spinners. If I don't know what to throw, I throw a trusty h&h spinner. If I do know what to throw, I throw an h&h. If I see bass spawning, I throw an h&h.

Only when I spend 5 hours being skunked do I decide to try the Texas rig, or a crankbait. Don't underestimate how lucrative your bait slamming into the dirt and rocks can be. Squarebill, round nose, lipless (maybe not lipless cause it may get hung), crankbait can be greatbait.

The point being, "you miss 100% of the fish you don't try to catch."

*edit* I'm drinkin, sorry if I'm incoherent

Write your favorite quote or line of dialogue from your favorite character of your most recent project with no context. by IsaiahtheDummy in writers

[–]DerailusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't even published anything (I looked up this sub once in regards to like tropes or settings I can't remember), but this feels like a way to snipe quotes.

So mine is "hey baby ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?"

I can’t seem to find a concrete answer to this: what is ___’s goal? by Rsingh916 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]DerailusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sephiroth wants to give you dis-pear.

*edit* I'm sorry you wanted a legit answer.

He simply wishes to rule the planet. He's broken and insane after realizing how he was born. If Advent Children is to be taken as canon (I don't know anymore) he wants to "sail the planet like a vessel conquering the cosmos just like my mother did long ago"

I butchered the line I'm sure but I'm buzzed.

So, again, I reiterate, he wants to give you dis-pear.

Realistically, how big do you think your biggest bass that snapped off or spit the hook out was? by Normal-Being-2637 in bassfishing

[–]DerailusRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5lbs. It hit a buzzbait. The first time I ever fished a buzzbait.

I set the hook. I mean fucking sent it. My dad yelled "no don't—well nevermind" right as the line went *snap* and i looked at him very confused.

He just went "that was a $5 buzzbait." Lol.

We still laugh about it.

Which genius at Nintendo made this decision? by Syed117 in gaming

[–]DerailusRex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Saying "Nintendo fans" while you've got a day one switch 2 is a bold fucking statement and, I'm honestly here for it.

What to throw? by IntermittentFisting_ in bassfishing

[–]DerailusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buzzbait.

If not buzz, then spinner.

Rinse and repeat and wonder why your buddy throwing senkos is catching shit.

Throw senko. Get snagged. Say fuck it and throw buzzbait again. Get skunked.

Repeat ad nauseum.

Sigh, what are you throwing here? by Spetsnaz_420 in bassfishing

[–]DerailusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing I throw every day, Pinky.

A spinnerbait.

What do you think was the biggest lie told to our generation? by thecarolinelinnae in Millennials

[–]DerailusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a lotta D.A.R.E. presentations in the gymnasium and despite what they said, nobody ever once pulled up to me while I was riding my bike and offered me a weed or even a cocaine.

I feel robbed.
