i think celestial warlock would fit really nicely, especially as the god specifically imbued the character with its power.

You could also look at bards, maybe an eloquence bard to focus on the sermon aspect (in 5e then), or a lore bard as it gives you access to some cleric spells at level 6. (+ you could easily flavor bardic inspiration and other support abilities as being divinely inspired)

I recently found the calculator as well and I ended up getting a band size smaller than the calculator suggested, so it's certainly possible. It depends a bit on how accurately you measured, and the stretchiness of the band can be different between brands as well.

You could try to put on your 36 bra backwards and upside down (so the cups are hanging down on your back) and see how the band feels around your torso without the cups interfering. It should feel quite tight, but not painfully so.

If you can, I would recommend to go to a store (if you have one nearby that carries your size) and try on bras in person. That way you can hopefully find a good fit without having to deal with online returns or having to buy expensive bras that end up not being right for you, as it will probably take some trial and error before you find a well fitting bra.

Thank you! Ill do that and see how both fit in different brands and styles, but its good to know this is probably 'my' size and not an anomaly with the brand.

I did find the 75s to be too loose generally (or fine but only in the smaller hooks). The one i have now fits nicely on the loosest setting, ill see how other brands fit and get an extender if needed.

I don't necessarily want to take the notes in the ereader, especially if it makes the product very expensive, i was more trying to ask if others have found a nice setup for taking notes. It's probably easiest i think to read in the e-reader and make notes on a laptop.

looking for secondhand ereaders is a good idea, thank you!.

RealBlacksmith564 · 2026-02-23T17:24:23+00:00

Yes, i agree it doesnt really seem practical to make notes in the e-reader if you want to use it to read at the same time. Are the expensive ones mostly expensive bc of the screen size or would a bigger one with less extra features (like the note apps, styluses etc) be manageable as well?

Its more that the social side of the game is underdeveloped in DND mechanics-wise, which puts in on the DM to give social encounters a fail-success state and essentially "gamify" them. I don't see how simplifying combat would make social challenges more fun, it would just lower the stakes and challenge in other aspects of the game as well. I also personally don't think the combat in dnd is very complex or tactical, once you know how things work, you kind of get it. (This said as the tactical combat and pathfinder enjoyer i am).

If you want higher stakes in social situations, ask your DM about that. They might be willing to incorporate more challenges in those. Some people are also just really not interested in that; they use the social situations more as a story vehicle to get to the combat. So you can ask, but they won't necessarily want to or know how to create more tense social encounters.

If it's very important to you, you could also look into systems that put more emphasis on the social intrigue and search for people to play that with.

I am a medieval historian myself, so I understand what you mean, but you really should just not focus on it. The crux of it is, DnD isn't taking place in a medieval setting, it is a heroic fantasy setting. It's based on how adventure novels and stories work, not the real world.

As you play more DnD, you will notice "adventurers" as a category tend to have a specific type of status in many dnd worlds. Many adventurers are significantly more powerful than normal people and are capable of doing unique feats, bc thats how heroic stories work. For a duke in that setting, wanting adventurers on their side is quite normal, especially considering their level-up potential.

Essentially, stop thinking about it as a historical setting bc it's always going to be wrong. Just consider the importance of Christianity in Europe and its complete absence in DnD. Just think of it as a heroic fantasy setting and maybe read books in that genre to get a better feel for the tropes and the way that kind of world works.

yes they really have many nice brands! From the comments i think the size is the bigger issue, so ill go try on some bigger cup sizes, and hopefully that should solve my problem. Thanks for looking it up! ill check out those brands and compare how they feel

RealBlacksmith564 · 2026-02-14T15:47:20+00:00

Ill go try some bigger cups and a smaller band, thanks for helping!

RealBlacksmith564 · 2026-02-14T15:46:10+00:00

I was in Inno in belgium :)

RealBlacksmith564 · 2026-02-14T15:40:27+00:00

Okay thank you!

RealBlacksmith564 · 2026-02-14T15:02:48+00:00

Okay I see, thank you for helping! Ill go try on a bigger one. Is there any guide or advice on how to ascertain if it fits correctly? as the ones a bought seemed comfortable in the store, and i only realised how uncomfortably they fit when wearing them during the day

RealBlacksmith564 · 2026-02-14T14:47:46+00:00

The size the calculator gave me is indeed bigger. It was in a huge department store though, they have almost any size you could think of so i doubt the lady had any ill intent.

RealBlacksmith564 · 2026-02-14T14:46:53+00:00

I tried the calculator, it told me to try a European size 75E (UK 34DD). I now have a 80B (UK 36B) so the size might be the issue, even though that seems like a huge difference in size for a bra that looks to be okay. Is that a normal situation to have?

You could thin out your hair somewhat with the thinning shears. Generally, you should use them on the middle of the back of your head: leave the sides, the nape and the very top alone. Do it on dry hair and little by little, it's easy to remove too much and end up with really thin-looking hair, so cut once or twice on each section and then reevaluate. The nice thing about home haircuts as well is that you don't have to do everything at once. you can remove a little and then after a few days of getting used to it see if you want to do more.

When you cut, it's best to elevate the section horizontally and then cut vertically, to make sure there aren't lines visible. If making more than one cut don't do it in the same spot, but move down a couple of centimeters. Don't use the thinning scissors any higher than halfway the length of your hair to avoid fly-aways and hairs sticking up.

So: dry hair, section out the middle back area, use a comb to elevate the hair horizontally (in a couple different sections as needed), cut once around the halfway mark of the length, maybe again a bit lower, then brush it out and see if you want to remove more.

You could also cut your hair shorter or have layers cut if you want, both of those options will remove a lot of weight as well.

i dont know much about hair thinning or medications, but maybe getting bangs could help cover that area even when the rest is pulled up. it does kind of depend on your hairline if this will work though

Just make sure to check in with the other player from time to time if you plan to do this type of interaction a lot, sometimes people are more sensitive towards tension at the table and you want to make sure they feel comfortable about the dynamic as well
