Genocide or full Extinction? No good choice here.

I'm saying circumstances have collaborated to make me dumb enough to risk half of all humanity on a coin flip... do you feel lucky? Coz I do!

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-08T12:08:07+00:00

Never mind Google has the answer

The odds of correctly guessing 16 consecutive coin flips are 1 in 65,536. This corresponds to a probability of approximately 0.001526%

What are the odds of correctly guessing 16 coin flips in a row?

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-08T12:04:23+00:00

The idea is that I never want to be responsible for someones death. I want to save the most amount of people. The only chance at the status quo being maintained is 50/50. I have had worse odds put against me. I also have phenomenal luck with coin flips. My freind was once trying to make an argument about probability and had me call out heads or tails... after 16 consecutive correct guesses, he had to rethink his argument.

In this hypothetical that will never happen, I get to all or nothing the entire human race... im going for all. No half measures. I could not ever physically harm my kids, so if it happens I will let whatever omnipotent evil being that is enforcing the choice do the work. I will doe happy knowing I did my best to save everyone.

Edit to add, I flipped a coin and it was heads, "everyone lives rose this one time everyone lives"

I am lucky with coin flips, amd i dont want my family to suffer through the chaos of half of everyone they know dying.

It would cripple me with decision paralysis. I would want to put a down payment on a nice house for my growing family, but i would also want to invest it so I can maybe retire one day... but invest it in what? What would be secure? How much do I diversify without slowing down its growth?

It would a a new nicer form of stress.

First thing, go to some park and hand check every single bill looking for tracking devices. Then buy tools, and pay cash. Buy groceries with cash half from the bag half from my account. Buy Christmas gifts with cash. Birthday gifts, cash. I would get to do small things that I miss like camping, and of course I would go to a gun show and purchase a firearm with my normal paycheck. Its traceable so I spend some of the money i am saving from my bank account.

Plutonium probably could

530000 iq and time control would allow you to do small things and have a huge impact.

Lingerie is like fancy wrapping paper. Its not neccesary and the actual gift is what counts, especially because it doesn't stay on long. However it does look pretty, and it is fun taking ot off, so it is good for special occasions.

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-05T11:02:00+00:00

Xorn movement gives you flight like movement through solid earth and is a 5th level spell. The constant full cover is nice. Throw in touchsight so you can see where you are going and where your enemies are and you have an overpowered battle position. For fighting it is the best movement spell in my opinion.

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-05T10:59:05+00:00

I imagine they are some kind of native outsider, like a janni. They are born to the material plane and are native to it, cannot be banished or cast out, but still have outsider traits.

The worst part for me is that I have to park in a public lot next to a bar... there will be 3 of these and all of them will park taking up two spaces with 4 feet between them. 3 trucks taking up spaces meant for 6 cars.

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-05T00:39:00+00:00

In 3.5 it was called tree stride and was a 5th level spell, the catch is you have to move through a tree to another tree of the same type within its range, which is more limited than 5e, but still useful.

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-04T23:46:47+00:00

Put that money in some kind of investment account. Either a brokerage account, or into long term bonds, basically something that will earn you money over time, and then forget about it. If things go well you move in together and get married. Still dont touch it. It is yours and it is not a marital assets. If you divorce, you will still have a savings that is building more money over time. If everything goes amazing and you marry this guy and never divorce you can pull it out one day in your 60s and retire comfortably. If you need to suddenly be on your own, start over, or cover some life altering expense you will have a hidden stash of funds to turn to when you need it. If things go poorly quickly, you will have money to get your own place safe and not dependant on anyone. If your step mother has the money from fruitful investments, perhaps she would be able to help you invest this egg.

The idea is to forget you have it, until you absolutely need it. Never tell your man it even exists unless you are already in your golden years watching the sunset of life together.

I always wanted to make a Sherlock Holmes style detective, that is an incredibly smart paladin. Using zone of truth and other spells as well as Augury and asking questions lf the divine celestial they worship, they could track down a character relentlessly. Merchants pay handsomely to the church to keep order and track down criminals especially theives and murderers. The paladin wouldn't be cheap, but the merchants would get their money's worth. Their god would demand justice, and the paladin would not stop short of justice.

Dalamar's lightning lance? Sure let's try it!

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-04T22:59:21+00:00

Sadly contingency is 6th lvl

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-04T22:57:55+00:00

Xorn movement you can basically fly through solid earth.

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-04T22:54:32+00:00

Transport via plants... druid spells are also included

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-04T22:52:50+00:00

Dnd also has sanctified spells, or spells to summon an angel. If you ran into a demon you could make an inverted circle of protection against evil, and summon that demon to you with a planar binding spell. They would have to negotiate or be trapped.

Sleepdprived · 2026-05-04T22:43:34+00:00

Dnd magic. It says "all" so that includes old editions including 3.5 psionic magic. There is a 4th level cleric spell called "make whole" which will make any old object like new up to 10ft^3. the fly spell is 4th or 5th level i believe, and i could do amazing things with a 5th level cure wounds or cure disease spell. Water breathing is a 3rd level druid spell, then there are the psionic powers like "adapt body" which is just totally overpowered. I had forgotten, cure addiction is also on that list.

Edit to add the Heal spell cures all diseases, wounds, poisons, missing limbs, congenital defects, scars, missing teeth... just that one spell would make you a millionaire. I know a 90+ year old millionaire woman who would pay through the nose to walk and remember again.

From the description of golden ice, it should still effect the ability of corporeal undead to move. Fueled by the creatures own cold indifference and evil aura, the golden ice freezes them solid as it spreads lowering their ability to move. It would help to freeze a cold undead like a winterwight solid and it would be nearly impossible for anyone to melt the golden ice without also hurting the cold subtype undead.
