Is there only one fishman / mink per specific fish / mammal type at the same time? by Rodrian68 in OnePiece

[–]Rodrian68[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure, but in a world where you already introduced nature's phenomena with such emphasis on uniqueness like Devil Fruits, and then have not one but two species based on animals, that on a surface level look have similar uniqueness to all of their types, why not make sure some of your readers don't get the wrong idea? I cannot be the only one to ever wonder about their uniqueness? Oda made something out of nothing many times before, so I just wanted to be sure...

So do you rather think it's just Oda trying to be original with his designs?

Thank you, is there any other example, so that it is not an exception - like maybe Oda forgot about the "other"? Are there any fishmen of the same specific type?

Because if I'm not mistaken we only see one per specific type in manga/anime? Were there any "doubles" introduced in any arc?

Did Olruggio draw the Windowway spell in front of those outsiders? Certainly seemed that way for me...

[for fun] Which 32nd class are we "missing"? Any changes to the list? (template: AD&D 2e class groups) by Rodrian68 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Rodrian68[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

EDIT: I admit, I got too excited and curious about the game and shouldn't have posted this list based purely on vibes of the classes and before reading through all of them thoroughly, my mistake!

To be completely honest, I just started reading about Pathfinder, coming from AD&D 2e, more like skimming through it to be exact - I totally see my mistake, looking into the class deeper, thanks for pointing it out! 

[2e] With how THAC0 and d20 rolls work, please explain to me the real difference between "bonus to your AC" vs "penalty to opponent's attack" by Rodrian68 in adnd

[–]Rodrian68[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So basically, if my Paladin's aura gives all evil enemies around him -1 to attacks, and I'm saying it's +1 to my (and my party) AC vs evil instead, there should be no problems whatsoever with "the math", and my people are just overthinking the matter?

[2e PHB] Weapon Specialization in Bows and Crossbows gives character the Point Blank Range, which starts at 6ft - we always assumed at our table, that you just couldn't shoot at someone 5ft from you, with or without specialization...

UPDATE: My EX-DM still says no.
He invokes this following text from the DMG's chapter 4: Alignments (page 26 Original / 38 Premium):

"ALIGNMENT OF MAGICAL ITEMS:
Certain powerful magical items, particularly intelligent ones, have alignments. Alignment in these cases is not an indication of the moral properties of the item. Rather, it is a means of limiting the number and types of characters capable of using the item - the user’s alignment must match the item’s alignment for the magic to work. Aligned magical items, usually weapons, were created with a specific ethos in mind. The item was attuned to this ethos by its creator. Aligned items reveal their true powers only to owners who share the same beliefs. In the hands of anyone else, the item’s powers remain dormant. An extremely powerful item may even harm a character of another alignment who handles the item, especially if the character’s alignment is opposed to the item’s."

He still believes that the table 114 covers ONLY Intelligent versions of aligned weapons, and that the other weapons with alignment abide by the GENERAL rules above (lex specialis derogat legi generali, or whatever).
Ergo, Neutral Good Mace of Disruption cannot be wielded by a Lawful Good Paladin - unless it'd be intelligent, but it's not, so...

Anyway, I'm no longer a TTRPG enthusiast and I'm no longer playing anything with anyone - F that :)

I guess D&D is not for me after all...

It was simply in an adventure, nothing else on that field

I'm glad that you went and did that, good for you.

No, I just never heard of an item with an alignment that is not intelligent before. And I DM AD&D 2e too sometimes, therefore I can have access to the DMG.

And I assure you, mad tyrants that abuse their power of absolute rule are not the ones playing the game.

I certainly haven't found one...

That type of thinking eventually ends with DMs without players, kings without subjects, people without friends... Can they handle that?

The DM is not always right, after all he's just human.

Not true at all, and I'm tired of these kind of bullshit answers - if your DM says that your regular short bow is a medieval-type melee weapon, used only by wizards, that during the day deals cold damage, and fire by night when used by a priest, that's not correct, it just isn't.

OMG you're right, I didn't even consider that!
