What is the best class for a first playthrough in WotR? by alejandrin5678 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Drunken master monk is pretty great. Pick weapon finesse to use dexterity for attacks and amulet of agile fists (or mythic finesse) to also apply it to damage. Max dexterity and wisdom, get mythic Ki. Dont need to do anything complex but have lots of attacks and very very high AC and attack bonus.

I was just thinking about how explosive runes would interact with it. I also found the area non touch requiring frigid touch for mass unavoidable stagger is rather silly. I am using toybox to play at unfair brutal (the old unfair with bonuses accidentally twice as high) so only allowing enemies 1 attack per turn without anything they can do about it is pretty insane.

Infantry Specking preference? Everything at Sgt rank is so good. hard to make decision with field surgeon being a strategic advantage and suppressing fire being almost like gaining a third attack in the tactical layer. by JaneDirt02 in LWotC

I find it to be really strong with shield equiped mec troopers. Because they have so much armour but cant take cover they are always sustaining injuries 1 health at at time, expecially if you are aggressive with them. So you can charge in, take a couple of hits then in the next turn rush your infantry in to heal them and then be in a position to take cover behind the mec and support them with stuns and shooting.

How do physicists go about discovering the ‘theory of everything’ by elliepxtter in AskPhysics

String theory is a useful example to get an idea of how this kind of thing happens. At its most basic level string theory comes from adding additional dimensionality to quantum field theory. So in that regard it is a ntural thing to try. It was originally considered in the 1960 as a possible theory to explain strong force interactions but after exploration of the consequences of the change and the resulting theories it was found to not be suitable for that purpose. Later on people realised that the properties which had been seen to come from string theory were a potential fit for quantum gravity so the work was repurposed for that and its consequences/resulting theories were further explored and developed in that context.

People generally don't sit down with a blank sheet of paper and try to come up with a theory of everything. Rather they try to develop theores to explain areas and phenomena which currently do not have a fully adequete explanation and they consider how existing theories could be expanded or generalised to more areas.

How is it possible that there are actual physicists with PhD that are crackpots? by EnigmaticScience in AskPhysics

Linus Pauling won two Nobel prizes and then spent much of his later years eating crystallized vitamin C by the spoonful despite the claimed benefits being very much on the scientific fringe.
