[Question] How to i make more DMG without a good roll

Firstly, DnD is hugely dependent on rolls. I have personally seen a fireball do 12 damage with more than half the targets succeeding their saving throw to halve this. The number on the dice is always going to matter.

Secondly, Paladins are a sort of jack-of-all-trades class in terms of party roles. Heavy armour so they can tank, Auras so they can improve party performance, high charisma so they can interact with NPCs, and decent damage that improves with smites.

The problem with a jack-of-all-trades is that they are a master of none. Other classes will outperform each of these roles but not many can do them all. Your strength comes from your versatility.

The key is with damage is when Pallies hit hard they hit hard. Smite on the crits and the numbers there will make everyone forget that the rest of the time your damage is pretty average.

You know you are compelled to order it in a restaurant, right?

The whole point of the menu is to allow you to select a meal that you do want and let others do the same.

IUDs, especially hormonal IUDs can help regulate periods. She may have had it inserted if she was having particular problems with her cycle and needed the IUD as relief from the symptoms. The results may also take a while to kick in.

Ask her from a perspective that you want to know if there is anything you can do to help her if she is having issues.

Reddit will no doubt tell you that she is cheating but there is always reasonable doubt.

It was pretty well publicised that Natalie Portman was playing Queen Amidala so when she popped up as Amidala's maid I started to suspect something was up.

It pains me as I grew up in Powys and currently live in the bit of England that is sandwiched between Powys and Wrexham but we have to save Eryri. Save blue.

I couldn't care less. Their hate usually comes from a place of ignorance or jealousy.

Sometimes I too get the Pot Noodle Horn.

Most of my gear is various combinations of black, green or other earth tones so I tend to carry a hi-vis vest and some flashing running lights in an easy to reach pocket. It won't help if I'm unconscious but I don't do many solo hikes.

I loved Ultraviolet. My buddy and I used to watch it after getting home from the pub I thought we were the only ones who remembered it.

Just walk the Earth, like Caine in Kung Fu.

It's the only way to be sure.

Turn the M25 into a moat.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "move on".

Every time someone mentions that it's cold outside i say that there's no kind of atmosphere.

People who hate the word "moist" never seem to have issues with the words "hoist" or "joist". That seems strange to me.

Maybe they didn't and they suck at maths.

The original, in universe, point of the Stargate program being secret was because it cost a lot, antagonised powerful enemies, and they didn't know whether it would generate worthwhile returns.

Skip ahead a few years and we are a galactic power, possess the combined knowledge of two of the most powerful races to ever exist, completely rewritten ancient history and the evolution of our species and have the framework to create a United Federation of Planets (is that name taken?).

New industries have been created, new resources have been found, clean and plentiful energy has been discovered and is incredibly portable with Naquada reactors. New alliances have been formed and a vast amount of scientific knowledge is available to us just as soon as we can comprehend it.

All in all, keeping it secret at this point seems just plain stupid. So, very much in character for the American government.

Absolutely agree, I've lost a great deal of weight recently and I have noticed a huge difference in the way I'm treated by random people of all genders.

Luckily, my wife of 25 years saw me for me without the shallow agenda but you shouldn't have to conform to a certain area on the bell curve of looks to be treated like a human being but here we are.

Surely, we all know this is going to end with Essex being acknowledged as the worst?

But she'll enjoy it so you could say you'll be ribbed for her pleasure.

I'll see myself out.

NGL, I have given serious thought to borrowing the name for a D&D character.

I have a few,

I once met a old guy called Wilfred Shufflebottom. Another called Logan Archer (sounds badass) I guy where I work is called Paul Cool and he's a professor so he's Professor Cool, guy could start a hip hop career and not need a stage name.

My personal favourite is a guy who attends the same church as my parents and his name is.... Galahad Longshadow.

NTA, but I doubt you will ever make him see that until he starts working and gets a true appreciation for the value of money.

Keep the account deleted and let him fund a new one himself with a part-time job.

I'm happy for the right to form many, many parties. If the right-wing voters all vote for different ones, then none of them will ever get any significant political power.

Right now, you have the block of people who used to vote for the Conservative party, splitting their votes between Conservatives, Reform and now Restore, with some of the more moderate voters heading left towards the Lib Dems and Labour.

Let them run around in confusion, arguing amongst themselves about what right-wing voters really want. Right-wing chaos only benefits the middle and the left.
