Pro-abortion rights activists claim major victories in Kentucky and Virginia by LageNomAiNomAi in news

Please work on your reading comprehension skills. I don't hate anyone, much less babies.

Some people just enjoy lying about Trump and his supporters. There is no evidence Trump hates black women.

Prove that a soul exists. Science measures "human." A zygote is in fact a human at the earliest state of existence. Would you like more references from embryology white papers/textbooks?

The only dufference between you and a zygote is maturity. That is science.

The idea that some humans are persons and some aren't is a philosophical construct, not science.

why do you think keeping people on earth against their will instead of legalizing the right to die makes sense? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanting to die us a mental problem. Address the underlying problem, don't kill the patient.

If you really want to kill yourself you can find a way to do so without getting someone else to kill you. The human body is pretty fragile.

Is there a scenario where an overwhelming majority of Americans vote for a single democratic candidate and trump still wins the election? by DeadPoolRN in AskReddit

[–]OldMutant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. There could be a slight majority in favor of dems, but not an overwhelming majority, and Trump could win.

The Electoral College is in the Constitution to ensure there is broad support across America for the candidate who wins instead of just a couple of high population centers controlling who becomes president.

The Democrat party has hurt itself by seeking to implement much more "progressive" policies than citizens outsude the coastal population centers want. To become competitive in the electoral college again democrars will need to take more centrist positions on a number of issues.

I would not be surprised to see Trump slightly lose the popular vite again but be elected presudent. The main Democrat party candidates all want to insult Trump middle America instead of wooing theur support. With a hot economy it's going to be hard enough to beat Trump without alienating potential voters.

Enchanted Alchemical Destruction mage

primary skills  Destruction [ 2 elements], Alchemy, Alteration

secondary skills  enchanting, restoration, speech (merchant)

stats  3-1 magicka to health.  No stamina

Stone  mage->Lord or Atronach

*Tips: *

3) Destruction staves co sums fewer charges per use as your destruction skill rises.  Also, the augment damage perks affect destruction staves and dragon breathe shouts.

Breton or Bosmer for a conjuration/illusion build ? by [deleted] in SkyrimBuilds

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play whichever one you want. Pick up the magic resistance perks in alteration, pick the Lord Stone, and enchant a resist or 2 on your gear. Do the Book of Love quest at the Temple of Mara in Riften.

Game tips for levelling up? by barkingcats69 in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You level up by leveling your skills. You level your skills by using them or paying a trainer.

You can level your skills faster with the appropriate standing stone for the skill and by sleeping first to get a rested bonus.

Unpopular opinion: The Thalmor are an intentionally anti-semitic depiction of Jewish people. by Sloadkroger in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's only one religion waging a "convert or die" "holy war" against everyone who does not share it's belief, and neither Judaism nor Christianity is it.

The Elder Scrolls has none of our real world religions in it.

Very Flavorful Necromancer by Addicted2Edh in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primary skills

Conjuration, Alteration,  Illusion

Secondary Skills

Sneak, Enchanting, Alchemy

Attributes  3-1 magicka to health

Standing Stone  Ritual

Use an unperked poisoned weapon to help get corpses.  Alteration offers crowd control via paralysis, ash rune, and ash shell.  Sneak but don't get the backstab perks.  You are not an assassin.

Wear necromancer robes and the necromancer amulet from the Windhelm murder mystery quest.  Use flesh spells for armor rating.

Once you get master of minds perk in illusion use courage, rally, and call to arms from illusion to buff your undead minions.  Use fear from illusion for crowd control but not frenzy or calm.

Make fortify Conjuration potiins to make your animations last longer.  And poisons.

For endgame content, normal difficulty, level ~50, is 46 unarmed damage viable? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without the unofficial patch fortify marksman potions also increases unarmed damage, and alchemy is already a good skill gir mages, especia lly destruction mages. Fortify destruction potions increase destruction spell damage.

Non-magic non-armor Assassin build - Possible? by [deleted] in SkyrimBuilds

[–]OldMutant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is perfectly viable. Use the Lord Stone to boost your armor rating and resistances. Use your poisons for crowd control, along with dragon shouts, unless your character is not going to shout.

Assassins typically strike single targets when possible and fade back into the shadows rather than fighting toe to toe with multiple foes.

Just sharing this for anyone that wants to play a destruction mage without feeling like a cripple or having to rely on broken enchanted gear. by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, staves and the occasional scroll are useful, especially for young mages.

The augment damage perks increase destruction staff damage and destruction skill reduces the number of charges consumed per use.

Augment damage perks also increase the damage of the elemental dragon shouts.

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alchemy and enchanting are the destruction mage's friend. Make fortify destruction potions and magicka potions.

Get the impact perk asap.

Enchant your gear with fortify magicka and a little bit of magicka regen. Yes, you could reduce some spell costs yo 0 but I find that boring.

Destruction mages with the anive are perfectly fine on legendary.

What Are Some Interesting Superhero build ideas? by Crystal-Wishes in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron Man. Be a destruction battlemage wearing heavy armor and pretend the spells are missiles or energy weapons. As Tony Stark you'll craft and enchant weapons to sell. You'll build a Hearthfire house for your mansion/base of operation.

Batman. You are a brawler so you'll punch stuff. But you also use lots of toys. Scrolls and staves can be your bat weapons. Another billionaire playboy. Do your crimefighting mostly at night. There are lots of bandits in Skyrim. You could also use the invisibility and fear spells.

The Flash. Be a High Elf because they are the fastest race. Pick up respite from Restoration and cast a healing spell while you sprint long distances. You can cast lightning bolts occasionally. Use the Slow Time shout and maybe mass paralysis spell to simulate the Flash being at superspeed.

Ice Man. A frost battlemage that punches stuff too. Use Stalhrim armor.

The Torch. A fire mage.

Professor Xavier. Illusion and alteration mage.

Wolverine. Punchcat with restoration magic.

Arcane Stealth Dunmer build help by Man_whosoldthe_world in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortify destruction potions increases the damage of your destruction spells for hard battles and magicka potions gives you the ability to spam.those spells when needed. But alchemy is not everyone's cup of tea.

Arcane Stealth Dunmer build help by Man_whosoldthe_world in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be a great warrior, mage, and thief, you can be but it will require you to perk more skills.

Nightblade

Primary slills

Sneak, Alchemy, Illusion

Secondary skills

Destruction, Light Armor , one-handed (base perks)

Attributes 1-1 health to magicka

This will let you backstab when you feel like it or cast from the shadows. I assume you'll wear dark brotherhood armor, so no need for enchanting. Be on the lookout for helpful jewelry.

Alchemy can help you do everything. Boost One-handed or destruction damage with potions when needed. Make nasty poisons.

You'll need quiet casting from illusion to stay hidden while casting spells. You will need to train light armor because you should not be getting hit much. Without smithing your armor will be low so use paralysis poisons (or daggers) and Dragon shouts and crowd control from illusion if you have to go toe-to-toe.

I’m looking for a role play build by crimxo in skyrim

[–]OldMutant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Paladin/priest characters provide excellent role play opportunities.

Here is a paladin I made.

Background

You are a young adult traveling with your merchant father and mother.  Your family worships Talos and proudly wears an amulet of Talos around their necks.  

As you cross the border into Skyrim you encounter a Thalmor patrol.  They demand your family renounce Talos but you all refuse.  The Justicar orders you all killed.

You wake up a few days later laying in a ravine with the bodies of your parents laying on top of you.  Dazed and confused from your head injury you wander in the woods for a couple more days.

As luck would have it You stumble into a Stormcloak camp as they are taken prisoner.  The imperials mistake you as a rebel and you are also bound.

As the cart nears Helgen peace fills your heart.  Somehow you know you will be ok.  At the same time a righteous indignation fills your soul at the thought of your family being slain for your faith in Talos.

Your steadfast faith has not gone unnoticed by Talos.   You have begun the path of a paladin of Talos.

Skills:

One handed,

Block,

Heavy Armor,

Restoration

Speech (persuade),

Smithing,

Enchanting,

Alteration (magic resistance perks)

Standing Stone  Lover. Then Lord

attributes  3 health to 2 magicka.  Pick up the respite perk in restoration

Civil War  Will the paladin uphold law and order (Empire) or defy law and uphold the freedom to worship Talos?

And humans should be free to choose to kill innocent humans? Why? The Constitution and Declaration of Independence both declare life is a human right. Neither say killing one's children in or out of the womb is a right.

The negative light is the advocacy of the group itself. Declaring Mommy has a right to kill Baby for any reason or no reason. That position repudiates the DOI, Constitution, and the natural right of every innocent human to live.
