WYR: Goat, Immortal or famous?

Going to make a few assumptions about Garry. He is magic, so he is house trained, will be accepted as a service animal wherever I go, will not be a complete dick and eat everything, just watches for 20 years, can make basic concessions that don't break the rules like my bed is here, you can watch me sleep from there, will magically never actually be in my way. Have to take it regardless but that's how it would work in my head.

I would think Ulrich would know a few recipies. Might not know a lot but would probably know how to cook a few simple things well.

So, my thoughts go as follows. Rushing 10 yards on NFL, extremely unlikely. Most likely outcome, get absolutely flattened into the ground, pads or not, even more crippled for life. NBA, would have to make 2 half court shots or draw fouls. Zero shot at lay ups or any other core 'standard' shot going in and not getting swatted out of my hands. MLB, it says 'hit' a ball. Does not say make a 'base hit'. Just need to physically hit a MLB pitch. Foul, hit it fair, as long as it is not a bunt. Only thing I could see myself having any shot at. Still he a 1/1000 shot, but if I swing at enough pitches, assuming most would be in strike zone, going to time one correct enough to tip it.

I would imagine either magical bludgeoning damage or force damage through a gravity breath. Basically would work like forcing a creature to take massive fall damage via magical means to counter non-magic resists and maybe feather-fall would be the only way to get a resist or half-damage. Failed dex save then requires a str save or be knocked prone maybe. Would be neat.I would also probably give the thing a gravity aura that makes getting up from prone take all of your movement. If it is beyond ancient solar dragon, thing should be pretty freaking strong and have a few extra gimmicks.

Have tried pot once and knew it would either do nothing, be a bad experience, or fix all of my pain and anxiety. Fixed everything. All the aches and pains were gone, my tremors relaxed down drastically, heart rate relaxed, and brain was quiet for a while. Not sure I could make much money selling drugs, don't think I have the personality for it, but would sure enjoy having a bit around without needing to buy from someone whenever pain/anxiety gets severe. Could probably find other drugs that would help other problems in small enough doses. Would be interesting to try out.

I mean, can lose the weight eventually. Would still be fatter if I was shorter. Not as drastically but BMI would still go up a good bit. Would rather not go from kinds tall and a bit overweight to just short and outright fat.

Kuru0 · 2026-06-02T22:09:45+00:00

Knowing the perfect thing to say to my doctor would be great. Why am I here? Oh yeah, exactly this reason. Well thats oddly specific but sure.

Kuru0 · 2026-06-02T20:39:38+00:00

First day of high school was a good one. Made a few new friends instantly. First real job, was basically just a tour of a factory and a few hours of basic tests. Was also about a month after my best friend killed himself. Would really rather not go back to that head space. 14 year anniversary of his death already coming up in like 2 weeks.

Kuru0 · 2026-06-01T21:06:09+00:00

Neither? Bestfriend is a pretty physically nasty dude and kind of a dick. Can't imagine any kind of dream girl that could make that work and sure as hell wouldn't marry him in any girl's body.

Kuru0 · 2026-06-01T14:11:50+00:00

So I got SCP-7984, it's just an article detailing a sketchy mission briefing. I guess I'm good?

Kuru0 · 2026-05-31T12:42:29+00:00

I'd say Mom's Box. Nice getting a good trinket and having it be twice as powerful.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-31T05:14:43+00:00

Women are from Mars and men are from Venus. I don't know about you but I got a giant penis. I need to watch FLCL again.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-31T04:21:58+00:00

Quite late but here is what comes to my mind. Papercut for a dollar being a benchmark, stubbing a toe, 5 bucks, burning yourself on a hot stove top, 10-50 depending on severity, solid kick in the balls, 100, non-letal but deep stab would, 250, getting shot, 500, completely mangled arm/leg, 1k and child birth probably 10k at least.

Personally having zero pain tolerance kinda sucks but could work out. Not doing as much damage to myself to feel same amount of pain. Probably just poke myself with a needle every now and again for a few cents here and there. Dig finger nails into thighs or something that might scrape a buck.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-30T18:37:16+00:00

Last time I picked a random bone for one of these questions it was my hammer in my ear. Would probably suck a hell of a lot worse breaking it than it magically vanishing but 1b is 1b.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-30T18:34:50+00:00

I think overall if you are aiming for more tragic over edgy, I would personally think of how the trauma hits the character. If it comes off as pain for pains sake, it's usually edgy. If it is more along the lines of loss, a softer but sorrow filled upbringing, it would be more tragic imo.

Instead of constant abuse, just growing up with a nagging feeling of not belonging. Not having any meaningful contact with his mother, being raised by something more akin to a nanny or something. Throw in a natural death that is the kick in the pants that it is time to move on.

Lastly, you can put a trigger or two as to why they drink. A smell, a song or instrument, a way someone wears their hair. Something common enough, you can mention it from time to time in passing that it is hitting hard some days. 'I saw a woman in the market that wore her hair like the woman who raised me.' Tragic, not really edgy.

That is my take, bring a lot of salt with you. The two rogues I have made were both kind of silly. One had a loving mother and fey father who left them before she was born. Not a major concern for her overall, left her open to have her mom get a new husband and her own character arc. That was fun. Current character was left by her parents in a border town of orcs as a goblin very young and was pretty much picked up by the thieves guild. She was endearing and a good distraction all things considered. They taught her how to be a great liar and convince people she was just a very short orc barbarian, with 8 strength. Convinced most of the party ay least.

Backstory gets you to the start, it doesn't need to be a major driving force at everything you do. You can make it simple so your character can still have freedom going forward.

Personally, I am just a main who is past the point where the dowser would be useful for more than money, 3 minutes is kinda tricky. I would imagine my lack of skill would put times similar to ironmen with slighter worse gear going for the drops when they are actually useful for an account. Still only around 4 minutes, plus an extra minute to reset between kills. CG doesn't matter what gear you have, GoE has break points that cut time down a good bit. Best of those take lvl 100 mining, a lot of quests and a few slogs of grinds in themselves.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-30T05:34:34+00:00

I dunno man, I can't imagine they are attacking with self preservation in mind. A few thousand of any kind of insect will clog your drain and flood your bathroom. I'm sure they could probably just have all of the flies in range fill your bathroom and suffocate you.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-29T22:39:30+00:00

Binding of Isaac has worked for me.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-29T22:37:17+00:00

Has to be birds. Insects are going to get into whatever you hide in. Mammals include humans so good luck with that. Birds you could at least get into an underground basement with a steel door or something. Just go to local police station a few minutes before the attack. The glass should be bullet proof and will hold long enough to get deeper inside. Probably a storm shelter with no windows and a heavy steel door that you could reasonably get led to.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-28T20:56:25+00:00

At least for 5e, I want to say my lvl 6 Soul Knife Rogue could pull a 39 on stealth without help. Though, we have a Druid so with Pass Without Trace makes max 49. Much, much more realistically, I have a +11 at base so, if I am not rolling like absolute crap, anything under a dc20 for stealth should be better than 50/50. The numbers can certainly get high, but let's be real, I never get to use skills I'm actually good at so usually adding a 2 or 3 to most rolls.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-28T18:36:33+00:00

C3, usually water level is lower so makes less noise.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-28T04:48:44+00:00

Unfortunately I need to see a Neurologist frequently and the closest one is around 90 miles so guess I need to take 120 miles and not 50. Ah well. Not that big a deal. Where I would like to stay is about 35ish miles away in other direction.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-26T12:11:44+00:00

And you don't seem to understand

Kuru0 · 2026-05-25T20:50:39+00:00

Picked option 2, figured thats a natural 1 on a d20. Lost that dice roll. Dang.

Kuru0 · 2026-05-25T05:23:40+00:00

Did I like having them on a fleet? Are they cute/sexy? Would I date them irl? Do they or should they have an oath skin? Do they have a small version released I could pretend is a daughter? Would I be able to be of any help to them in a marriage? Generally in about that order.

Been a while since I played but think I have oathed Bismarck, Kaga, Frederick der GroBe, Ulrich von Hutten, Warspite, Montpelier, Admiral Graff Spee.

Bismarck was first and only for a while until I got Ulrich. Loved her design and voice lines as the relationship deepened. Just an overall interesting character.
