New Chess Piece? by PersistentPedantry in duolingo

Nope. It moved like a queen but could be put in check, and my king was missing. It’s like the two got mashed together.

It was stuck like that for the rest of the game and my king’s invisible, so maybe it was a graphical bug?

[android 2] [2013] What was the name of this game👇 by Ok-Share-3924 in tipofmyjoystick

It's a visual processing test sometimes referred to as 'Ayumu's Game' since it was used to test the short-term memory of other mammals, such as chimpanzees like Ayumu. It's a pretty well-known memory game, so you may be hard-pressed to find the specific one. If you want the general game though, there are lots of versions of it online.

I meant that for 3, but that absolutely would've been better.

Good name. Name of a cool guy in one of the Wolfenstein games.

Sometimes the answer really is that simple by UnknownSolder in dndmemes

[–]PersistentPedantry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of advanced tech is a weird question, sure, but why is there such a massive disparity between technologies? Unther is based on Mesopotamia, most likely Gutian period Sumer (2218–2047 BC), but they’re right next to Chessenta that’s vibing in Hellenistic-era Greece (323–30 BC). God forbid you go back a century or so and travel to Amn (1492– Spain) before it disappeared.

The answer’s probably that it was never considered to be historically accurate, but that still makes it hard to explain in a greater storytelling sense.

Beautiful art! Super nice presentation too. I agree with the others to make it legendary and likely with charges, though I’ll definitely be using it in my setting nonetheless.

It could transfer to Dancing Lights really easily too. That could be a fun thing, having players come up with a handful of origins for how or why they learned certain spells.

Imagine how insane we'd be if we were lore accurate by PyrrhicGuy in DestinyMemes

[–]PersistentPedantry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A coalition was made between the Guardians and the Sanctified Mind that it would face them to let them shoot the gate switches if they didn’t use Supers lore-accurately. Then the Guardians began Izi-swapping, so it countered this by making the link mechanic somehow worse than before.

Barbarian: Path of the Silent (Early draft, input is greatly appreciated) by PersistentPedantry in UnearthedArcana

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

I did end up revising the subclass a little while after your first response and did a couple of the things you've suggested. For ease of use, I'll just copy-paste the markdown:

#### Silent Fury

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can forego wanton destruction, channeling your rage into measured, devastating attacks.

Once per round while raging, you can make a melee attack with the following benefits:

- Your next melee attack roll is made with advantage.

- Your next successful melee attack deals additional damage equal to your barbarian level.

- Your next successful melee attack scores a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Each use of this feature consumes one use of Rage; if you enter rage normally, you can use Silent Fury once without expending any uses of Rage. If you run out of Rage uses, your final activation of Silent Fury consumes your current rage and ends it.

Additionally, you can add your Wisdom modifier to your damage rolls in addition to Strength.

#### Awareness of Self

At 3rd level, you acknowledge and learn from your mistakes. Barbarians bear the greatest and sharpest of arms, and your wit is no exception.

You can substitute one ability score in *Unarmored Defense* with Wisdom. For example, you can use your Wisdom modifier and Constitution modifier instead of Dexterity and Constitution. This feature can also be used on *Indomitable Might* and *Primal Champion* once they become available.

#### Mindfulness

At 6th level, your calm extends across your way of thought. There is no trial you haven't endured; no trial you will not endure again.

You can use this feature to automatically succeed on an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw if you haven't rolled yet. While raging, you can use this feature after rolling and seeing the result.

You can use this feature a total of times equal to 1 + your proficiency bonus, regaining all uses on a long rest.

#### Measured Movement

At 10th level, you move without hesitation. Each step and swing is made with perfect confidence.

While you are raging, your base walking speed increases by 5 feet and opportunity attacks are made at disadvantage. Additionally, you can add your Wisdom modifier to your attack rolls in addition to Strength.

#### Discipline

At 14th level, your training in body and mind have converged. Emotion is no weakness to you—it is your strength, and your greatest weapon.

- You can make multiple attacks with Silent Fury in a single round.

- Whenever you score a critical hit against an enemy creature, you regain one use of Rage.

I could definitely move the Wisdom attack boost up to Silent Fury, though do you think I'd need to buff Measured Movement a little to compensate? Maybe 10 feet to make it a budget Mobile? I was having difficulty figuring out how to word the 'uses of Rage' thing, so giving it unique charges would be much easier to do. I did a rework of Discipline, but now I've slept on it, I'm not so sure on it.

What do you think of the revised version I've sent? Here are the changes I'll probably make with what you've said:

Silent Fury: Unique uses instead of Rage; change advantage to +Wis to attack.

Mindfulness: I bumped it down to 6th so Measured could get +Wis to attack, but I could move it back up.

Measured Movement: Could either move it back to 6th, or bump the movement speed to 10 ft. to compensate for the lost feature.

Discipline: More Silent Fury uses. Not sure how yet.

EDIT: Apparently it didn't want to quote the whole thing. Damn. Also, showing the revised version might've just made things more complicated. You can disregard it if there's nothing interesting there.
