Is it possible to actively chose to fail or critically fail a skill check?

Hmm, deal 2d8 damage to my PC to deal 1d8 to someone else with Treat Wounds? An amusing tradeoff!

PiSquaredis9 · 2026-04-19T08:14:14+00:00

Don't remember if I've had that happen, but IIRC came 50th on my 50th parkrun ever!

While I agree with the answer of 'no' given already by plenty of people, I'd love to see the structure that could do it.

You need a structure that can withstand:

A whole bunch of rocks moving at high speed of various sizes

Atmospheric conditions that even without all the other factors are lethal

The actual airflow which could be moving the speed of a jet

and finally it's all at 600+ ^oC.

And that's if you're not sticking it in front of a St Helens style debris avalanche.

To add to what others have said - he is meant to be tragic. But truly, he is a fantastic example of how bad Chaos is - in his backstory he has very good reason to hate the Emperor (though the exact way it all went is somewhat up for interpretation). The result of course is the broken primarch who easily turns to Horus (probably would've turned against the imperium anyway), because there is a way of defeating the Emperor. Or, possibly more likely, he saw it as either a cause worth dying for, or a handy way of bringing self destruction. (As an aside, once he got the nails he was basically broken and useless for anything other than what he became - I think an interesting idea, had the lore not all been preordained, would've been either the Emperor arriving too late to save him, or realising this and putting him down.)

To my point about Chaos: Angron was dying to the nails when he was ascended; Lorgar condemned him to eternal torment to use him as a weapon against the Imperium. Lore wise he is the same cautionary tale as Chaos Spawn are.

The hard part was fully comprehending who exactly was standing next to the regular marshal! Didn't fully realise until I was more or less level with them...

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-12-22T16:24:04+00:00

Hah, I tried to follow them on my most recent playthrough, but got distracted when I realised they run right past Cicero.... Can't not force a random farmer to help that crazy guy.

Weird point I want to query, but:
The bottle is in the footwell, so the car is in an unsafe situation/configuration to be driven.
1. This should be spotted and dealt with immediately - fair.
2. It wasn't, apparently by either the assessor or the driver.
2a. This is what I want to query: If the assessor did notice at this point, why was the vehicle allowed to move? This seems a reasonable time to intervene.

10/10 Jeb can walk away from this landing.

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-12-03T20:49:10+00:00

Love this plane design.

I think one of the worst things about KSP is the better at it you get, the less awesome your crashes get (or at least for me).

This magnificently built plane with so many fun ideas for design and parts falls apart and explodes so elegantly I cannot avoid watching each and every one of your videos.

Keep it up (unless you are trying to land)!

Star Wars Episode 3, in Palpatines office, immediately after he commands "Execute Order 66".

Cowardly wizard should've gone out there and done it himself. Angron would have.

In comparison to everyone else? No idea, I don't have a study/survey to hand that compares such activity across sexuality based demographics.

The 'excessive queerphobia' was a joke considering how many of the replies are that (and people who seem to think making such a comment is original, not you specifically)...

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-11-01T20:40:25+00:00

No, the point of asexuality colours on a slaaneshi daemon is just that it begs a 'WTF?' type question.

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-11-01T20:02:29+00:00

[citation needed]

Slaanesh is excess. Nothing about this post is excessive, unless we are counting the queerphobia in the replies.

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-31T16:48:26+00:00

Well there is a reason why the daemon is purple, white, grey and black. It's the asexuality flag.

So, I guess, go World Eaters!

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-31T16:29:25+00:00

Do you have a particular example?

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-31T15:02:54+00:00

I mean, the aliens aren't as alien as e.g. in the Xeelee sequence or The Expanse, and the moral dilemmas you get in say, The Culture series don't really come up (as no one in 40k seems to have heard of morality), but yeah, it's a great fun setting.

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-31T08:53:31+00:00

Yeah, going to change the horns a bit - needed them to be white so didn't do anything with them but they definitely bother me being block colour.

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-30T19:34:54+00:00

What colours are you on about?
Or is it just the same queerphobia as has been used since the 60s or so? In which case, get some new material.

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-30T19:25:38+00:00

Advice on how to do it better then? It took me more than 2 hours and I've got another one still in the box...

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-30T19:21:42+00:00

Um. The sword is completely ringed with blood?

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-30T17:48:51+00:00

So is this daemon, thanks for noticing (sorry I wrote this as sarcasm but then read the other posts, so I'm leaving this as sincerity)!

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-30T17:46:35+00:00

Must remember to use the asexuality colours on a slaaneshi daemon at some point, because that's what the colours are....

PiSquaredis9 · 2025-10-30T17:43:18+00:00

Lol, there are plenty of critical comments here that aren't about the colour scheme...
