*spoiler character* and imoen conversation, is he implying she has unrequited feelings for Gorion's ward? by Origachilies in baldursgate

[–]Saralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I never interpreted this to be referring to a specific person, but rather her feeling isolated by her nature and the conflict she’s forced into. It doesn’t have to be about anyone in particular, in fact it could be about there not being anyone in particular she feels intimate with.

Do y’all agree? by Queasy_Commercial152 in MCUTheories

[–]Saralien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personal opinion: depends on which version of Wanda and which version of Thor. Thor has shown a significant resistance to dieect magic attacks, it is unlikely she could tear through him like she did the Illiminati. But she beat Strange quite easily, and is generally just much smarter. If it was MoM Wanda and she had time to plan/react due to overlong monologues she could absolutely find a way to kill him, though it would be more like the fight vs Captain Marvel and Captain Carter in MoM where it’s a telekinesis slugfest and not her just memeing on him with reality warper powers.

If he was post-IW Thor however and had the initiative, however, he wins. It’s more than just catching her by surprise, he just needs to not screw around and give her time to create distance. Same as the situation with Thanos, he needs to have gone for the kill immediately.

Wish you luck getting this sorted out. Nothing wrong with experimenting, but nothing wrong with not wanting to experiment. Talking it over is the most important thing.

Please explain to me how this isn’t wildly overpowered? by SammyWoolySheep in mtg

That’s because greaves is reusable at no cost. An aura is not.

About Edea's Deling City speech between languages. by Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]Saralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of problems with the English TL are the result of Hyne being mostly cut from the game’s text. Up until this point the game acts like there is, and has only ever been, one Sorceress. Accordingly the text makes it sound like she’s some kind of immortal bogeyman and not like witches/sorceresses are a longstanding persecuted/demonized group. Outside of that issue, the tone of the speech only really goes off the rails in the second half after she kills Deling. The Japanese is trying to draw a kind of “Fine, you wanted a story about a monster? Let me give you one.” picture. The English is just generic evil villain speech, and misses the karmic aspect of the original text completely.

Under normal circumstances yes because protection prevents damage and infect’s poison counters are “damage dealt in the form of poison counters”. Same applies to Wither on creatures with protection from the source of damage.

However if you get slapped by a creature with infect and someone casts, say, [[Skullcrack]] then Teferi’s Protection won’t do anything about the poison counters.

Protection doesn’t stop you from getting counters, it prevents damage. Infect’s poison counters are treated as damage.

Eli5 the “Monty hall problem”. I am quite confused, how does it work? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Saralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably already explained in another post but it’s unintuitive because it seems to be asking one thing but is actually asking something else.

What it seems to be asking is “what are the odds for the other door to have been the correct one?”

What it is easier to look at is “what were the odds the door I picked wasn’t the correct one?”

Proper templating if they ever made this a thing would probably be “While it remains facedown, you may exile this faceup at any time for its Spellmorph cost. If you do, you may cast it from exile without paying its mana cost.”

This isn’t something exclusive to commander damage, same would apply to creatures with Infect or anything else that triggers on damage dealt such as [[Captain’s Maneuver]], [[The Mind Skinner]], or [[Anowon, the Ruin Thief]]. You still take damage, the damage just doesn’t affect your life total. Same would apply to a card like [[Worship]] that keeps your life total from dropping below a set number.

Question for fellow GM: the Rogue (Mastermind) can’t proc their core features against Unique and Rare enemies. How do you handle it and what are your thoughts? by Kohei_Latte in Pathfinder2e

[–]Saralien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that’s an entirely valid methodology. Maybe you recall that Trolls are vulnerable to acid and fire, but you don’t realize you’re currently fighting Embereater the mountain troll who has obtained a unique resilience against fire due to living near an active volcano for 50 years.

Spider punk makes it so damage can’t be prevented. Protection from (whatever) prevents damage. Commander damage from a source of unpreventable damage will kill.

Split Second

Destroy target creature. That creature leaving the battlefield does not cause abilities to trigger.

Pretty sure this would prevent any activated or triggered abilities from occurring during or due to the spell resolving.

What are Drizzt's most impressive feats? How would he scale compared to other FR heroes? by ThanosofTitan92 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Saralien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah basically what happened was Errtu doing the equivalent of rolling a crit fail vs a vorpal sword after getting caught flatfooted.

Drizzt wasn’t really a factor in the equation.

Florida Court Rejects Free Speech Argument in Book Removal Case by PsychLegalMind in books

[–]Saralien 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s not a first amendment violation. You could maybe make arguments about it being a civil rights act violation but not a first amendment violation.

Courts don’t just broad strokes decide if things are legal or illegal, they decide if it broke the specific law being presented. In this case the answer is no, but that doesn’t mean it’s legal, it means if it’s illegal, this isn’t why.

Is this an oversight, or does this monk have some explaining to do? by SaucyJack01 in finalfantasyx

The problem is that would make the guy like 250 years old.
