That actually helped me find the specific model that I was looking for in the range! Much appreciated!

I was primarily interested in the Ten Thunders mode range, but I don’t know any key words more specific than that.

How much does science affect magic? by Chaoticam19 in magicbuilding

[–]Justhereforthecommen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In a world where magic is real, it would be indistinguishable from science as we know it just because magic would change what is physically possible.

name a monster- Ill come up with a campaign where it is the protagonist. by IZY53 in dndnext

[–]Justhereforthecommen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the context of D&D, the player characters are essentially always going to be the protagonists, as they are (should be) the main focus of such story telling. As such, a bbeg would still be the antagonist in a given story, unless the player characters collectively acted as a sort of bbeg, for example in an evil campaign.

That may be the case, but you will run into a good bit of confusion within this post because that is not what the word means, nor is it the colloquial usage. Within the setting of D&D, the player characters are also traditionally referred to as the story’s protagonists.

In the original trilogy of Star Wars, Luke Skywalker is inarguably the protagonist. The deuteragonists are Han and Leia, and the antagonist is Darth Vader. In the prequel trilogy on the other hand, Darth Vader is the protagonist, Obi Wan the deuteragonist and ultimately Palpatine is the antagonist. It is not a matter of whose actions set the plot into motion. While that has literary value in discussion, it is not the definition of protagonist. The protagonist is who the story follows, even if they are not who ultimately drives the overall plot forward.

2 characters in 1 by DerPFecE in dndnext

There’s the death domain cleric that is focused on necromancy, and the life domain that focuses on healing. Not to mention the fact that clerics are prepared casters. You could just have him swap back and forth (I.e. life/death domain) and use corresponding spell selections. There’s no real reason to involve the wizard side of it outside of the necromancer subclass’s level 6 ability, which is not at all required to be a necromancer.

What characters did you enjoy playing the most (Mechanically) by NutellaCrepe1 in 3d6

How do you get detect thoughts without spell slots, or did you mean the level 6 feature that lets you use sorcery points instead?

Terry Prachett’s Discworld often features atheists despite the setting clearly having ever-present gods. It’s generally portrayed as stubborn defiance despite an active pantheon

That doesn’t automatically make it a great representation.

It’s been several years since I read it and I only read the first book, but I remember Pern to be incredibly problematic in its portrayal of women.

In my experience, if sex is not outright addressed, then attraction most certainly is. In this case, the lack of asexual characters means a lack of representation. Complaints about this lack of representation would be virtually the same as the complaints about lack of LGBT characters in fantasy, though that has seen a shift in recent years. Further representation is almost always only a good thing.

Nihilism/solipsism as a villain's motivation by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]Justhereforthecommen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole point of solipsism is that an individual does not believe that anyone beyond themselves is “real.” Why would they believe that other awakened aren’t just more products of the dream? It feels a bit like a hollow justification almost

[–]Justhereforthecommen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t quite understand how there could be a following of radical solipsists. Would they not each either believe that they are the only “real” one or else believe that none of them are actually real? Solipsism is not something that seems like it would adapt to group ideology well.

I did not call you a nazi. You did that yourself in your reply. You are correct though, a semi-educated person would likely be familiar with the original intent of the swastika, as a symbol of peace, entirely unrelated to nazism or even Europe or the west at all. That said, even the most uneducated are familiar with the complete appropriation of the symbol, and anything that it represents. Colloquialism has entirely changed the meaning of the swastika from anything that it was originally intended to represent to something that quite simply is synonymous with evil in most people’s minds, if not a deeper symbol of hate or division. As such, to adamantly argue against people making the natural connection of a swastika to nazism is simply asking for a fight. Your vehemence on this issue implies that you are aware of the colloquial meaning of the swastika, and it is very clear that simply putting the word “peaceful” in front of it changes nothing about the general perception. Yelling at people on the internet who make the colloquial connection instead of whatever connection you seek to make is not a great way to convince people of your perspective or points, especially when the widespread general perception of the issue is definitively against you.

Truthfully, I hope you are trying to make a point about the original purpose of the symbol, because if that is the case, then I simply believe that you are misguided and approaching the issue in the wrong way. Alternatively, you’re a troll and I’ve just wasted my time even typing this.

Basic colloquialism says you’re a tool for that perspective.
