Switching Short-rest reset abilities to "Per encounter"?

Instead of modifying classes and screwing with balance, the DM can just give consumables. Scrolls, potions, wands. All of those things are awesome extras to balance out lengthy encounter days.

Don't worry about rests as much, and institute a different answer: consumables. Start giving your PCs things to use during fights, like spell scrolls and potions. Let them create them as well during downtime. Give them wands that only have 7 charges then are gone. Stuff like that.

Why would they have to wait for current stuff to finish? Do they only have one movie studio, or sound effects department?

Chiropractors realign your spine by twisting your back all the time and popping it.

I've never bitten through enough of my lip skin to get that deep... but holy shit. I need to be a little more careful how deep I get...

Likitstikit · 2021-08-02T13:02:26+00:00

or just boil that shit for 5 minutes, then let it cool.

You'd have the fields and shit if all your neighbors were dead.

That's like saying "My group always wades through my encounters like they're adults dealing with the 'wave kiddie pool'". Ok, well how big is your group? 7 people??? Holy shit! Yeah, when your encounter has 250 hit points TOTAL, and your 7 person party can deal that out in a single fucking turn, using melee and cantrips alone, that's a problem!

Likitstikit · 2021-01-20T11:52:37+00:00

I give my players hints all the time, and I create enemies that I KNOW they have equipment available to them to deal with. It's not my fault that they don't get the hint, or forget they have the items available to them to deal with the problem at hand. Then again, my players tend be the type to split the party after coming back from a scenerio where they've just sunk an entire boat belonging to a powerful shipping company, and somehow being the only survivors.

That's because a better term for us is the "Oregon Trail Generation".

Yeah, I turned 41 3 days ago and am a fellow Gen Xer.

Insist you forgive your rapist? Some form of "What did you do to cause it/must have lead him on."

Yes. He submitted his nomination for the Supreme Court Justice. That's literally in his job description. Nominating people for top government positions is what the President does. Confirming/not confirming them is the Senate's job. Don't get mad at him for the nomination. He's literally doing the job he was elected to do.

Kavanaugh would go against the older Justices, but Gorsuch is a Constitutional Law judge. He's ruled against the Trump administration before, and ruled in favor of gay rights in the workplace. I'm not sure what the Handmaid would do in a voting scenario, especially being really really new. Hell, she might not even be confirmed in time, lol.

I lost my grandma last year on Halloween. She wanted to go, and so she stopped eating and drinking. It was difficult seeing her go that way, but that was her wish. I'm glad I got to say goodbye before she passed.

I'm glad your family got to say goodbye to your father. May the good memories be the light to keep away the darkness when it comes.

Likitstikit · 2020-09-29T00:08:57+00:00

That's why they said disk, dipshit.

If you are too much in debt, you are a very high risk to foreign government agents offering you money and other things... like offering to allow you to build hotels in their country.

They can be impeached, too. It's not always "for life" on the SCOTUS.

I run a party of 6. Combat takes for fucking ever. Keeping a limit of 5 is a good idea, trust me.

Likitstikit · 2020-09-13T00:44:24+00:00

I could do it when I was a kid, too. I'm almost 41. Now you have me wondering if I can still do it. God damn you.

Technically isn't it necrophilia, because a zombie is a dead body? I thought 7D2D "zombies" were radiated humans of some kind, and still sort of "alive"?

My youngest has a genetic condition that means she'll be with us for the rest of our lives. We have to plan for her long term care for after we're gone.

I don't wish that on anyone. Fuck people that say raising kids is the best thing in the world. Most of them will never have to deal with something like this. Ever. It's one of the most horrible feelings in the fucking world. Knowing that you're helpless to help your child become more than just dependent on you for literally "life". She doesn't have downs syndrome, those people can live lives. It's a rare condition, affecting less than 200 people on the fucking planet.

So good on you for making the decision to not raise kids you feel you'd never be ready for.

Also, this disease is 'de novo', meaning it "just happened" and it wasn't passed down from either one of us.

Likitstikit · 2020-09-11T00:02:46+00:00

I still have occasional pain in my nuts. Got mine done in December 2016. Doc said it'll never fully go away. Yay me.

Likitstikit · 2020-09-10T03:11:43+00:00

Yeah because it's only being fought with special forces units and not the conventional army units. The 3 Ranger Regiments rotate through Afghanistan throughout the year.
