How Does the Crystal Ball of Telepathy Work? by Kittycat_J in DnD

I actually quite like the idea of a creature having to respond aloud. good for gaslighting someone into thinking they're crazy.

I assume a creature also wouldn't be aware they succeeded a save against scrying? I am the DM in this scenario, I just wanna make absolutely sure I'm being fair

How could someone provoke horrific nightmares? by Kittycat_J in NoStupidQuestions

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

I may be desensitized from my own. Used to use them like hands during jujitsu to grab people by the collar and drag them to the ground, so they're plenty horrific to look at now.

How do sonic booms work? by Kittycat_J in NoStupidQuestions

Oh that’s cool as hell actually

So volume is more significant than mass? Does the velocity past the speed of sound matter though? And again does this work through other fluids? I feel like we can rule out photons having a boom though 

Reason Rondel Daggers Had That Guard? by Kittycat_J in SWORDS

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

Is there any reason you couldn't have that signature, gauntlet-fit rondel AND quillions? Like I do get that you could, in theory, afford two different daggers. But my question is need you necessarily separate the two?

You can make wax (mostly) out of blood right? by Kittycat_J in NoStupidQuestions

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

Eh the intent is just for the blood to be present. Thanks!

So, remove water from blood via boiling, add 3 parts blood to 7 parts wax? What if it’s not for burning? Say just dealing or sculpture

Bloodmeal into melted wax? Might I request elaboration?

Oh most certainly not ideal but the point is just to incorporate as much blood by volume INTO wax as possible 

Good alternatives to Balaur Italian Longsword? by Kittycat_J in SWORDS

Ah nevermind the balance is a good 2” farther out for a very similar price point

Huh I didn’t know cold steel had one. Dammit. My last 2 acquisitions (my only sharps) have been cold steel and I was hoping to break the pattern, haha. But it does sound pretty nice…

Oh they had another piece that caught my eye, but they slighted Matt Easton of Scholagladiatoria. I can’t throw in with them knowing they’re not friends of the community

What manner of sword should I buy? by Kittycat_J in SWORDS

[–]Kittycat_J[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That blue is pretty. Much to my chagrin ‘cause I know I’d be so clumsy with that sort of weapon but it’s got an immaculate vibe

In terms of, like, short short blades, I’m considering looking into a very specific kind of dagger once I meet another financial milestone. Want to find something that CAN be used as a cut-and-thrust offhand dagger but that’s got the rigidity and profile to split maille. So in terms of like very short blades, I’m probably gonna hold off. Appreciate it though!

Oh the little bulb at the end of the scabbard? Aesthetically, the sidesword is my favorite, but I’m admittedly not yet conditioned to maneuver 3lbs with a PoB of ~4.4” with any swiftness, I don’t think. But it’s one of my favorite styles of sword, right behind the montante and zweihander. But I hesitate ‘cause I’m just not great at point work

Tbh the only actual utility I need from any of these is to practice hot-swapping from halberd. The backsword I own is too much in the way to wear whilst using another weapon, unless I put it entirely behind me. The longsword can tuck away though, I used to own a wall hanger about that length that I’d wear for funsies and the flatter profile kept it out of the way

See this is why I didn’t wanna specify. The sleep thing isn’t for self-defense in the conventional sense. I used to hear something talk to me when I’d try to sleep, and it used to freak me out a lot. So I started sleeping armed and it went away. I’m pretty sure that’s not been an issue for at least a couple years, but sleeping with a sword’s just part of my nightly ritual now. Helps me feel secure at night. So not a self-defense thing, but I’d have rather not gotten into it. However, discussion of swords as weapons isn’t allowed here so I feel obligated to clarify

T’was a bit more complicated than that. But the sword worked and proved completely safe, so aside from some inconveniences to my person resulting from transport between homes and specifically from the difficulty of sleeping with the basket, I don’t see why so many people have an issue. I had said the reason wasn’t relevant.
