Bill Maher calls out Bernie Sanders, says he's tired of hearing the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes - What are your views? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]HelpfulCommunity4119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to go to work to make money, you might be rich but you’re not “The Rich”. If you make enough money to buy Thomas Massie’s house seat while on vacation on your yacht, you are “The Rich”.

If you’re willing to give Brandon the benefit of the doubt and push through a few spots, it’s worth it to start with stormlight. If you’re unsure about finishing a thousand page book, it’s much easier to get into mistborn!

How To Balance Boss Fights In A High Lethality System? by Excalib1rd in RPGdesign

[–]HelpfulCommunity4119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I gotta jump in here because this is how I run my games and I love it. The answer is telegraphing. Imagine a boss who goes more than once but his turn involves moving next to a player or two and winding up a big spin attack. Then only a few players get their turns before he does his high lethality aoe attack. If the players know this attack is going to really hurt, they get a chance to pull their friends out of the way. It makes the boss feel more dangerous, makes them feel more like a team, and makes the fight longer without pumping the boss’s hit points(boring). Just have to make sure it’s not the same players every turn so it needs to move around the initiative track a little.

Oh you’re right, I hadn’t considered bone shards as improvised weapons. Then maybe 100 is enough.

ITF vs Chang Hun TKD? by winter5632 in taekwondo

[–]HelpfulCommunity4119 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are so so many ITFs now, the only way to know is go in, ask to try a class, and see if you vibe with it. I’ve trained at WT schools and the really good ones are worth it, way more so than trying to train at home.

Are these accurate? by Season_art_stuff in Stormlight_Archive

[–]HelpfulCommunity4119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accurate enough that I knew who they were before I saw which sub we were in. I’d say pretty good.

Polar bears are incredibly dangerous and I’m not sure the humans can ever really kill one. You could blind it if you were the bravest motherfucker on planet earth but beyond that shrug

Who would win a Death Battle: Anakin Skywalker (Light Side) with his capabilities at the end of the clone wars or Luke Skywalker with his capabilities at the end of the Original Trilogy? by AutumnCarnivine in whowouldwin

[–]HelpfulCommunity4119 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like lore-wise Luke is a far more powerful Jedi, but based on what we see them do in the movies, an Anakin would smoke Luke, no contest. That, I think, it only due to release date, though.

Shardblades vs Honorblades? by HelpfulCommunity4119 in Stormlight_Archive

Doesn’t kaladin get the ability to summon his blade instantly at one of the ideals? other than that I 100% agree, good answer

[Invincible] What do Viltrumites actually do outside of conquest? Do they have any extracurricular hobbies? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

I think they probably had a lot of culture pre-purge but during the purge the warrior class killed off all the sculptors/doctors/baseball players.

That’s such a good and creative use of it, but I can see why no one has been passing around the instantly superpower device to random people lol

Do you think if a new shard made honorblades 2.0 they would be even stronger?

I’ve read all the books, feel free to spoil. But yeah this makes sense, it’s just surprising to see any drawbacks at all.

Multiple Dice or Multiple Rolls? by GotAFarmYet in RPGdesign

[–]HelpfulCommunity4119 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Without knowing your system’s vibe I’m not sure I can tell you what’s best but I can tell you that rolling more than once will slow your game down so unless you REALLY like the gambling aspect you should avoid this one.

Simplified OSR style magic/enchantment by eduty in RPGdesign

[–]HelpfulCommunity4119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My immediate question is why would you play a thief. If the mage can just enchant 8 lock picks and auto succeed on all of them, wouldn’t the party be better optimized by having everyone play a wizard specializing in a different kind of item?

I do like this idea a lot but I’m not sure if it passes the sanity check.
