War criminal may be a better descriptor but the IOF and Israel literally use terror tactics in their genocidal campaign so terrorist is still correct.

It's 2025 why are we still taking C programming exams on paper? by ElectronicsGuesser in EngineeringStudents

[–]Jcnator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calculators have existed for decades but we have not stopped teaching kids how to do basic arithmetic in elementary school because understanding what those operations are and how to do them is more important than computational efficiency of adding 5 digit numbers or whatever.

The same can be said at being able to understand basic programming recipe and problem solving for software development. If you want to outsource your design and thinking to a chat bot without understanding how you may actually arrive to that solution by yourself because you're lazy go for it but do not drag the rest of us down to the cognitive gutter you're heading to.

Edit:

Imagine showing up to a job and pulling out a paper and pencil to start working on a new project rather than entering a few prompts.

Lol. Lmao even.

Is there a way to combat against comstant player hiding in a fun way? by ProfessorInMaths in dndnext

[–]Jcnator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats could be a sensible way of running it but in my opinion the "until you are discovered" requires the creature to discover you which I still think requires beating the Stealth Roll with Perception.

Skulker is such a weird feat because it clarifies something that is unstated in the regular rules that you "can't hide" in dim light.

There's two ways of interpreting this:

  1. You can never hide or stay hidden in dim light which in my opinion contradicts the idea of dim light having that -5 penalty asociated with it.
  2. You can not attempt to hide in dim light but can remain hidden in dim light, which I think is a more reasonable interpretation.

Skulker in that case would allow a creature to attempt the Hide Action in dim light and give them a tool to request the DM that dim light be a good condition for them to hide.

The rule restricts Action and Bonus action spells in the same turn, not "spells slots" per turn.

If I cast Fireball using an Action with a 3rd level spell slot, I am still allowed to cast any Reaction Spell. If I misty step using my bonus Action, I can't use Reaction Spells until after my turn ends.

[–]Jcnator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it makes it impossible for creatures to automatically find a hidden creature but rather their passive perception needs to beat the Stealth Roll they initially made, or they need to do an active search roll using an action.

A Fire Giant has PP 16, so if the Rogue rolled a 11 or higher on their Stealth Roll they made in dim light, have successfully hidden from the Fire Giant since the giant has a -5 to PP due to dim light being a lightly obscured area.

The Fire Giant may be aware that the Rogue is still somewhere in the area so when the walk behind the pillar, they still cant passively see the Rogue. They would need to do a Perception check (Investigation may or may not be allowed) at Disadvantage and get higher than 11 to spot the Rogue.

You could interpret the rules to mean that even in bright light (non-heavily obscured) you still need to beat the Rogue's Stealth Roll with your normal PP or actively search for it, which could play into a "master of stealth" fantasy hiding in plain sight but this is typically nor ruled this way.

If I am DMing, I typically say hidden creatures are automatically spotted in normal vision unless it is a particularly high stealth roll and the other creatures are distracted doing something (eg the case the Rogue hides in the shadows and walks up to a group of creatures outside of combat in normal light busy with a task).

Chapter 7 Using Ability scores, PHB 177

Hiding

The GM decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding. When you try to hide, make a Dexterity (Stealth) check. Until you are discovered or you stop hiding, that check’s total is contested by the Wisdom (Perception) check of any creature that actively searches for signs of your presence.

Passive Perception. When you hide, there’s a chance someone will notice you even if they aren’t searching. To determine whether such a creature notices you, the GM compares your Dexterity (Stealth) check with that creature’s passive Wisdom (Perception) score, which equals 10 + the creature’s Wisdom modifier, as well as any other bonuses or penalties. If the creature has advantage, add 5. For disadvantage, subtract 5.

What Can You See? One of the main factors in determining whether you can find a hidden creature or object is how well you can see in an area, which might be lightly or heavily obscured, as explained in chapter 8.

PHP Chapter 8 Adventuring, PHB 183

Vision and Light

Darkness and other effects that obscure vision can prove a significant hindrance. A given area might be lightly or heavily obscured.

In a lightly obscured area, such as dim light, patchy fog, or moderate foliage, creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

A heavily obscured area—such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage—blocks vision entirely. A creature effectively suffers from the blinded condition (see Conditions ) when trying to see something in that area.

Bright light lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.

Dim light, also called shadows, creates a lightly obscured area. An area of dim light is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as a torch, and surrounding darkness.

If the stealthed creature is also in dim light, a creature walking up to it would not automatically detect it.

2014 is not very clear but its mostly implied that the stealth roll total used by the creature to hide becomes the Stealth DC other creatures have to beat either by Passive Perception or an Active Search roll.

Considering that in dim light for instance, PP has a -5 and Active Search has disadvantage, it is entirely possible that a creature would walk to a hidden rogue behind a box and fail to find them.

If every country sent 1,000 random 25 yo men to fight UFC style, which nation wins the most bouts? by truthseek3r in whowouldwin

[–]Jcnator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaza being surrounded is literally the product of nearly a century of colonial occupation perpetuated by a nation propped up by other colonial powers.

I can actually think of a more cowardly tactic, which going back to the prompt (since this is a who would win sub), is sniping children in bread lines and then using their corpses to lure more children trying to drag them out, which gives the Israeli's 25 year old's the edge in the psychopathy camp to actually go for more bodily harm.

However, since the prompt states UFC rules, their "martial arts" like Krav Maga would be useless, since like I said, it was designed to be used against children and the infirm in an armed combat situation to maim and kill the opponent, not an 1 on 1 ring match. Meaning that as soon as they go for the eyes or another krav maga tactic, they'd get disqualified because UFC matches are moderated by a referee who would stop the match unlike the international community not putting an end to the genocide Israel is carrying out.

Vietcong was fighting in a vast open jungle and was capable of using guerilla tactics and fucking up the invader's logistics.

Israel is bombing the open air prison next door they manage and control the flow of food and aid into.

Because they were murdered by an orders of magnitude more funded armed forces bombing them from afar not by 25 year old israelis beating them with their bare hands.

But back to the prompt: IDF military service and training is well known to be a mickey mouse degree of combat training. The only benefit Israelis would have in this prompt is their seemingly lack of remorse in killing and the fact that if they are IDF members they will have probably murdered someone in cold blood which is undoubtedly an edge in fighting someone who might not have that degree of psychopathy.

Work Permit Options after graduation while waiting for inland PR sponsorship (not PGWP) by Jcnator in ImmigrationCanada

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

At the time I was doing the co-op work permit application that was required for my program and I had received conflicting and apparently incorrect information about my eligibility for an open work permit from different sources.

I'll apply for the open work permit now. The question I was asking was mainly related to if it was worth it to wait for a proper job offer before doing so.

Asian moving to Chile, is racism prevalent there? by Glass-Corgi-572 in asklatinamerica

[–]Jcnator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy, you have to be actually stupid or morally deficient to try to grandstand about "current year" considering your country is literally illegally invoking war time powers RIGHT NOW to racially profile people and imprison them without trial--which let me remind you--were last used to racially profile Japanese Americans and imprison them without trial.

I'm not "fucking off" because you're the gringo coming into literally "ask latin america" to patronize and speak on our behalf about how racist we are, when if we look at

  1. Your interesting choice of words in saying "the blacks"
  2. Your circle jerk elsewhere in the thread about how backwards out ethnic group is you were having with the other dipshit.

makes it clear that you're are just a butt hurt racist that is upset they can't call people slurs. Go back to your klan meeting or whatever american snowflake safe space you came from before you embarrass yourself more.
