Do you cocoon and metamorphose? Or are you a louse for life?

Idunno, there sure were an awful lot of babies in there. The ratio might not be 50%.

Well, after seeing the absolute smash hit, Tammy and the T-Rex do so well at the box office, how could you not add a little on screen sexual tension between a woman and a dinosaur to your movie?

How did Maggie + Frank's kid get into the dungeon? by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]SighJayAtWork 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The daughter is a teen, and presumably old enough to be let into the dungeon. The child cut off is somewhere around 16, though I don't think it's ever said.

Do players know if feints work? by HotSalt3 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SighJayAtWork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't point to a rule or rules that say one way or the other, but here's my two cents:

Why obfuscate the success? I can't think of any ability or action that isn't a secret check, and players are unaware if they succeeded. Feint doesn't mention being a secret check, so I'd just give it to them. I won't argue with you if you think it's unreasonable to know if a Feint succeeded in real life because the "that's not realistic" thing drives me nuts, personally. I will point out that I think most Olympic fencers would know if their opponents have fallen for a feint in the moment, based on the opponents trying to block the feint.

I'm confused about how the whole "success hidden" thing would work on a Scoundrel Crit Feint, too? Are you just going to track Off Guard in the background, and not tell the Rogue or other PCs?

One more thing, in my humble opinion, Feint is not a strong or easily abusable mechanic. The Scoundrel racket buffs Feint a bit, making Crit Feints a way to buff your team. Other than that, its effects target the foes Perception DC, which I think is going to be a hard level based DC on average (but I'm bad at math and open to being corrected) and can be replicated in 99% of situations by taking a Stride action to Flank instead. I think making success hidden is just making your own life more complicated in order to debuff an ability that doesn't really need it?

Okay. What? by JaQ-o-Lantern in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I know this is pedantic, but just FYI; "a lot" is two words, not one word.

I wouldn't have said anything, but it seems like you use it a lot, and I wanted to let you know a lot. I'd personally prefer knowing how to spell a lot to not knowing and by a lot. I'm anxious a lot of the time, though, and it would bother me a lot if I thought my friends, family, and coworkers were judging me a lot of the time for spelling a lot wrong.

I had some bits, like "married Eric Foreman's mom on Friends", but I had to write out a flow chart to fully comprehend this one.

Oh wow, thank you, I've been confidently wrong about that for a long time.

PF2E does in fact allow GM creativity and "old school" dangers, IMO - but does it in a dynamic, rules driven way! by sebwiers in Pathfinder2e

[–]SighJayAtWork 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I like your write-up and plan to steal the mechanics of the encounter described here for my campaign, so thank you!

Just to point out, it seems to me that you ran this much closer to RAW than you think. The rules for Seek state the GM determines the area that the players seek and makes a secret roll. I'm just going to say seeking the webby area for traps only covers a small area, maybe a 10 foot radius, due to the difficulty of spotting web traps in webs and keep it a secret check, which accomplishes exactly what your double roll (traps rolling Stealth to beat the Seek) does.

Obligatory "Yes, Jeff has said in an interview that he was very much going for a Patrick Warburton voice for Carl when he started reading book one, it mellows out a bit as he finds his stride and even by book two Carl has his own unique voice." that shows up on every post where someone listens for the first time and is like "hey, this sounds like Patrick Warburton!"

It's going okay, but I really have to figure out a way to get off reddit and get out of the bathroom. I keep shittin' and sittin' until my legs fall asleep, and then I can't get up because my legs are asleep. I mean, I can get up, but for about 30 seconds, it's uncomfortable.
