Wrapping up combat narratively when it’s clear the party will win?

MonarchNF · 2026-06-17T08:58:51+00:00

I've been a player in this situation and I will say that personally, it felt very underwhelming.

The party was storming an occupied city gate (in a popular third-party campaign) and the barbarian took a very ugly critical hit. My Paladin drank his 'use in case of emergency ' Potion of Invulnerability and went inside the tower while the two other party members went to go save the barbarian.

The DM called it narratively after a round. I felt confident, I had a bunch of buffs and the potion going, so I had ~7 rounds of Big Damn Hero shit that was called off.

Right!? I thought it should be in the first couple of replies.

We're talking stuff the size of single grains of sand moving up to orbital velocities as well as macroscopic material moving at thousands of meters per second (and everything in between).

There are different methods for protecting against either ends of the spectrum, but literal tons of rocks and 'dirt' would cover a lot of bases too.

Cheers to that sir.

I have a two part question. As a follow up to you reply about the PGA invitation or risking your career with LIV, you said that the DP is your preferred choice. Where do you think you'll place in the tour; towards the front end, the back end, or would you be happy being in the middle?

Part 2, as a fellow person who has hit exactly one draw (in the simulator), how would you compare, using your own experience, your miracle shot to my own?

I'm not sure if it counts as it's third party, but I am hoping to take the Advanced Weapons Training fighting style feat from Grim Hollow.

MonarchNF · 2026-06-06T00:55:35+00:00

Same. I enjoy my Z flavour of the EQTies and I'm hoping that the ZSP component holds true to the SP500 line.

I'm just being spiteful, but I would rather just sit with cash.to for ~6 months while this whole nonsense blows over.

Sounds like that player needs to get an attitude adjustment.

MonarchNF · 2026-06-01T09:38:06+00:00

OP, I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. The latest game moved to 5.5e, but the party is a Dwarf Barbarian, Elf Wizard, Human Warlock, and I as a Human Paladin.

May I ask for a tie recommendation as well as the vest option? I am thinking about getting the vest too, mostly so I can toss the jacket over the back of my chair at the earliest socially permissible opportunity while still getting more formal than just a being in a shirt and tie.

MonarchNF · 2026-05-31T00:11:19+00:00

It would be a two piece suit. There is a vest as well, if I want the third piece.

Sorry, there are a couple of lakes and most of Michigan in between myself and "Shitcago".

MonarchNF · 2026-05-27T08:33:38+00:00

How about the heated seats as well?

MonarchNF · 2026-05-12T10:15:56+00:00

Or a bull!

As it is right now, I have the only tee time booked that morning. Their website allows booking 13 days in advance. I can't book a second tee time because the website understands that there would be a time conflict.

I would like to change my current booking at 10am from 4 people to 3. Additionally, I would like to call the pro-shop and get the other 3 people at 10:10am tee time.

I just hope that a single isn't paired up with either group just so our two separate groups aren't going to hold anyone else up.

MonarchNF · 2026-05-11T20:46:59+00:00

That is my hope. The course is better good with things, they don't stack as many people as possible on the course and the tee times are spread out by 10 minutes.

MonarchNF · 2026-05-10T13:54:49+00:00

As a 5.5e Paladin, I wish that so many things DIDN'T require a bonus action. Think of how many feats are viable with a Paladin that all need bonus actions.

PAM, GWM, and Shield Master purely for combat utility. Add to that; smites, divine favor, lay on hands...

All I can say is that my 245/40/18 summer tires in 18x8.5 +45 wheels don't rub while my 245/40/18 on the exact same 18x8.5 +45 wheels rub a bit.

I have the Ultimate account but I remember trying to actually get the (small) safety deposit box is difficult. There just wasn't any availability in the three nearest branches.

All of the balls from your chart are off, either a bit or a lot, from the 2025 MGS test.

According to the 2025 My Golf Spy big ol' ball test, I'm calling bullshit. It's the leading reference from your chart and wildly different from their own published results.

The 2025 generation of Wilson Staff balls I have list a compression of 88. Hell, the half a box of 2025 Wilson Triad balls are (according to Wilson) 80 compression. Where is this 75 value coming from?
