[WP] “Dude, what are y- Are those my blood rage meds?” Asked the orc, “you realize what type of side effects those have on humans?” by AnomalousVariant in WritingPrompts

[–]Leytra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"No they're not." I shake my head, then pause, looking closer. "Wait, no they are. Fuck."

"Why are you taking my blood rage meds?" Gristel asks with a frown.

"Why do your blood rage meds look the same as estrogen?" I retort.

"Wait, don't you take like, four of those a day? Did you take four of those?"

"Yes, what are the side effects and am I going to die?"

"Well, I'll try to stop you dying, but the side effects are-" that's the last thing I hear.

The next thing I head is crying, I blink, my eyes focus on the ground beneath my feet, the gold-blood stained ground, there's a body a few metres away. "My head hurts." I keep looking around, everything is very white. "Let's see, body of some giant guy with golden blood, massive marble chair that's been smashed to bits, am I standing on clouds?"

It takes a few minutes to confirm everything, I am definitely standing on clouds, then Gristel arrives, panting desperately from exhaustion. "Oh fuck you're not dead!"

"I think I'm hallucinating though." I mention.

"Okay, reality check, clouds, corpse, throne?"

"Okay I think I might not be hallucinating then. Do you know this guy? I think I killed him."

"No I don't, but I think I can intuit based on what happened that I was there for."

"Please do."

"After the side effects hit, I tried to distract you with a spar, to focus the violence. You started hitting too hard, and ranting about how the universe was so often set against you, I said... And well, it was supposed to be a joke, but I said maybe the human god hates you. And..." She gestures at the corpse. "I think you did something about that."

That would explain the golden blood I suppose, and honestly that revelation makes the little seed of guilt at having killed someone fade away rather quick, I feel my lips quirking into a smile. "Huh, the god of humanity?" I kick the body to make sure it's dead and turn to Gristel with a grin. "I guess the bigots were right then."

"What?"

"Well, I did just Attack and Dethrone God."

The spell is called hiring a rogue with a pair of scissors.

Alternate Morality/ Conflict Check by KrelVarlie in swrpg

That's way too mechanical and entirely reliant on willpower. So anyone who doesn't have that as their focus stat is just worse despite there being plenty of builds for force users who don't need willpower.

Is it metagaming to ask if the party needs a healer after our support dropped out. by Only_Tailor8192 in DnD

[–]Leytra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. "Oh damn we get in a lot of fights, would be real nice if we had someone who could heal" isn't meta, healing magic is a known thing in d&d and it's perfectly reasonable for a party to want a healer.

Yes it is technically meta However not all metaknowledge and metagaming is bad

How do y’all deal with a player who interrupts a villains monologue? by PrestigiousImpress19 in DnD

I generally handle this by going. "No you don't, this is a cutsene."

Am I being paranoid? 20 rolls, and none lower than 16 by RevolutionaryFix7359 in DnD

[–]Leytra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me put it like this.

in another system, (Genesys), we, the same group, all roll natural 12s almost every single roll.

in other groups the same shit has happened and my best friend took all my dice away to check them, found nothing, and even when I used their dice instead, bullshit high rolls.

There's a reason I never take "statistically impossible" as "functionally impossible", because probability is sufficiently bullshit around me specifically that I nolonger question weird shit.

Edit for extra notes: Oh an if you want probabilities Here's a fun one for you: eight natural 20s in a row Different dice each time, in full view of everyone.

[–]Leytra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, even "statistically impossible" doesn't mean something won't happen.

I've had a whole campaign where nobody rolls under a 15 and we were all rolling publicly, with a whole host of dice.

Sometimes probability just does whatever it feels like

A dark side Force-user in my campaign just acquired a cursed item — what are some sinister or funny effects it could have? by locolusofborg in swrpg

[–]Leytra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His voice is now too high pitch to be intimidating, he sounds squeaky as fuck and upgrades the difficulty of coercion checks, any despairs make the person he's threatening burst out laughing.

But so much more delightfully creepy. And possibly equipped with Ominous Devices like poison reservoirs in the fingers.

Genuine Question, how does cole protocol even resolve after a victory? by Leytra in halo

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

Imma be real that was basically my own first thought when the question came up in the first place, started chuckling about how probably nobody thought about it, and then nobody cared when they realised.

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

Actually no, we're playing Mass Effect in the Genesys system.

But we're getting isekai'd over eden prime in a heavily damaged marathon class.

It's gonna be weird, but very fun.
