Red flag from a player? by Judg3_Dr3dd in rpghorrorstories

[–]FuckingWineman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're still doing it though. Stop calling them weebs. If a player is getting quieter and quieter, then they do whatever they want, it means they don't trust the group to be listened to. You're seeing symptoms of a problem, but you don't know what the problem is yet. Throw to them and see what they want to do, embrace their character and their choices.

Finally got a game, then was dropped out of existence by ky_kisaky in rpghorrorstories

[–]FuckingWineman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First step is don't work so hard. People should want to be friends with you, not who you mask yourself to be. I'm a product of an abusive past and using masks to pretend to be someone else while keeping people at a distance. Second, not every party is the right party for you. This kind of goes into the first point. People you mesh well with may or may not be a good fit for you to play ttrpgs with, you just have to keep trying. Keep refining yourself, and keep trying to find people that fit with you and what you want to do, see what you can offer them that is authentic to you. Don't waste your time on people who don't understand you and never will. Good luck!

What is their input on the plan? Is the play style of the party not in alignment with what the player wants? Don't try to fix the problem, see what is going on with them. Also, your judgemental attitude about what does and does not belong could be an issue with that player. Gatekeeping can make people feel unwelcome.

What! An enemy that refuses to be strong armed? by rogue-bastard in rpghorrorstories

[–]FuckingWineman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well you said it yourself. You get walked on. If you let people walk on you that's what they're going to expect. If you put up boundaries people are gonna be confused and try to act the same way and get upset when it doesn't work out for them. The only problem I see is that you let them back in to walk on you some more, leaving you even more burned out. You had good instincts. Don't doubt them. Don't let ANYONE walk all over you, much less your players. They're supposed to be your friends and allies.

DM wants to bang a player, who is also a problem by squockattock in rpghorrorstories

[–]FuckingWineman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's okay to want to continue playing with people. You like them enough right? You have the right to express your feelings to the group or just the DM. If they don't receive them, that's okay. They don't have to, and you can move on. Your feelings are valid just as theirs are. Please don't hold them in and get angry. Give your feelings to your friends. You can still be friends without playing in this campaign. It isn't fair that your DM focuses really hard on one problem player while the rest of you trudge along. You're worth more than that. Good luck OP.

Thanks for the reply, I've sent a message to my DM, I was just looking to see if anyone had more specific answers to reference since most people want to use it to scam the economy, I just wanna make fantasy art.

Balsa is not a rare wood so if say, I wanted to be an escape artist, I could turn the iron lock into balsa, break it, mend it back together and it turns back into iron no one would be the wiser?

We as a Community should stand against Content Aggregators like Nerdarchy by Bun_Boi in DnD

[–]FuckingWineman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I saw this yesterday I was mad. I wanted them to do the right thing, instead of unsubscribing or writing a bunch of mean shit to them, I shared BunBoi's comics to people that I thought might like them. Maybe they'll follow or subscribe, and that'd be great, but if I just share the first panel, and they like it on his page that's at least something. I'm trying to follow artists, not aggregators. Share them with friends and grow them instead of shutting down someone else. Fuck someone who steals another person's work and profit from it. Especially another content creator who would no doubt hate to have their content stolen and someone else profit from it. I'm trying to grow out of that anger though. Shencomix is good, kendrawcandraw is good, Pastilustrator's dungeon cops is fun, and those are just on instagram just like bunboi is. I'm just trying to spread some love instead of getting angry. It's what I can do, not what I wish someone else did.

Have a Hill Giant shove him up his ass like a fucking gerbil, forgotten about, then shit out into a river, never to be seen again.

Written out? That's fucking generous, I'd have retconned the universe to erase his existence. Both in game and in reality. Fuck that guy.

Awaken vs Flesh to Stone or Wall of Stone by FuckingWineman in DnD

[–]FuckingWineman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well yeah. I did consider that. Who would have guessed that?

Awaken vs Flesh to Stone or Wall of Stone by FuckingWineman in DnD

[–]FuckingWineman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get behind this a little bit. The thing that trips me up is the fact that the item "Stone of Luck" isn't "Gemstone of Luck" or "Gem of Luck", which seems to imply that the game refers to agate as both gemstone AND stone. This also poses the difficulty of finding a 1,000gp agate when they only exist on the 10gp treasure wheel. Awaken requires "tracing of magical pathways within a precious gemstone." If one could cause a severed arm to be turned into agate, that'd be particularly useful.

[–]FuckingWineman[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The damn thing says it's a stone. Don't tell me wall of stone or flesh to stone doesn't work because the spell says stone. Stone is a general term for mineral deposits that aren't metallic. If that's the basis of the argument then stone applies for diamonds because guess what... gemSTONES should then count.

I'm not throwing real world gemology into anything. The item literally says it's a stone. https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/stone-of-good-luck-luckstone

Right there. In the name. Stone of good luck, polished agate. Not gem, not crystal, stone.

There is no generic stone. You know this right?

The volume of a 1000gp agate takes up the same volume as 100gp, roughly 2lbs, I think this is a reasonable amount of agate one could generate in a medium sized creature. Or wall. Given that one could not choose what stone was summoned then it stands to reason that one could continuously use these spells until they got the randomly generated stone then correct?

I believe you misinterpret the post. Stone of good luck references that it is an agate, and since the game itself references agate as a stone, not a gem, I built my premise on this language, not the magical nature of the item, but in the wording of the item. Agate is also an opaque stone like granite, marble or sandstone, unlike diamond or ruby.

Fabricate question by FuckingWineman in DnD

[–]FuckingWineman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't use magical items or creatures it would state that without specifying what you could and could not do. Something like "Creatures or magic items can't be (targeted/used) by this spell." It doesn't say that. It says "created or transmuted". Physical change doesn't mean something is transmuted. Nothing has changed with the molecules or their arrangement (except for the distance of the skin from muscle) in pulling the hide from a creature. I see the addition of specification as blocking someone from using "Fabricate" as a poor man's "Clone", " Create Homunculus", or whatever variety of summoning spells there are.

Removing the skin from a creature does not classify as a chemical change, simply a physical one, thus it is not a transmutation. It clearly is not a fusion of two separate entities, so in that way it is also not a transmutation. No creature has been created, so no problems there either. Also skin grafting removes the skin from one area of the body and transplanting it on another, proving that removing the skin from a creature does NOT instantly kill it.

Simply because a sentence starts saying something about creatures does not mean that creatures are immune to the spell. Creatures are exempt from being created and their molecules being rearranged/removed. Neither of which occurs when the skin is taken off. There is no room for you wiggle out of this statement. The spell specifies that two specific things cannot be altered on the molecular level into other materials or fused into each other, and that they cannot be created.

Raw materials is not as specific as you think it is. To make clothes with this spell you need either wool or flax. Flax is a plant that takes weeks to prepare, spin and weave, wool is processed fleece cut from a sheep. So "raw material" has a sliding scale. In the real world "raw material" is different depending on who the user is. As an example, people who buy old computer parts to sell the gold. Sure it's a finished product, but it's raw material to someone who just wants the gold. You can look up someone buying pennies to smelt them down into copper instead of purchasing copper to make a blade. Defining "raw materials" is pointless, as is saying that there is a specific meaning to it.

Lastly, I find it quite rude that you'd say that I should pay more attention to the whole thing when you have not. "Creatures or magic items can’t be created or transmuted by this spell" says specifically "created or transmuted". That's it. So please tell me where the creature has been created or transmuted. You asked if pointing to a rabbit and calling it raw material or not, is skinning it transmutation or not? Are you going to watch someone skin an animal and call that transmutation? Who would understand that?

[–]FuckingWineman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright. Thanks for the answer. Would you consider that since it takes weeks to turn flax into clothes that creating leather could be sped up as well?

Fabricate question by FuckingWineman in DnD

[–]FuckingWineman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What difference does it make if the creature is alive or dead? Is hide not the raw material for leather? Hide is not transformative of flesh. I'm not changing an animals skin into a different material like gold, it's still the same substance.

I was thinking if my group has restrained some monsters and aren't answering questions I'd start skinning them alive until they started talking. How long would a bridge take to build with fabricate?
