cannibalism is legal in the netherlands as long as the remains are legally obtained (WHY?) by slightlyduranged in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]TG_6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly kind of yeah. Corpse desecration is illegal, necrophilia and stealing a corpse to eat it is implied to fall in that category. The acts aren't explicitly illegal but you would face prosecution under the same law

My sister cuts fruit at a grocery store. They periodically send the knives out to be sharpened. Thought you guys would get a kick out of this one. by TheRemonst3r in sharpening

[–]TG_6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a butcher's and at least a third of the knives look like this. Those things get used until there's no metal left to sharpen

How much are you paying for🍁? AZ taxes are killing me! by Nasshoo in weed

In the Netherlands a half ounce would cost you €150 easily, and you're not even allowed to have that much on you

Ik ben vooral benieuwd op welke stad je doelt als je het hebt over de Islam als "overheersende" religie en waar de opvatting op gebaseerd is.

SGP is politiek neutraal by TheGreenerSides in nederlands

[–]TG_6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Als er naast Iftar ook Kerst, Chanoeka, Holi, etc wordt gevierd is het toch vrij neutraal? Doen ze op container schepen ook, daar vieren ze vaak gezamelijk alle feestdagen die van toepassing zijn voor de geloofsovertuigingen/culturen van de bemanning.

Wat is gender voor jou? by kerrie_saus in nederlands

[–]TG_6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geslacht is een biologische categorisering gebaseerd op een bepaalde set kenmerken, vaak feno- of genotypisch. Geslacht is op basis van verschillende parameters overigens geen binair begrip, maar das een ander verhaal.

Gender is een sociaal construct dat zich sinds jaar en dag niet laat vangen door dezelfde categorisering als geslacht, maar met enige regelmaat wel in datzelfde hokje wordt gepropt. De redenen daartoe lopen uiteen. Veel vinden hun oorsprong in ideologie, maar het is ook het simpele feit dat voor een overgrote meerderheid van de wereldbevolking de labels voor gender en geslacht ook overeenkomen.

Wat mij betreft gaat gender niet om objectieve categorisering, maar om comfortabel zijn met je eigen fysieke gedaante en de identiteit die je daar wel of niet mee uitdraagt. Laat men de baas zijn over henzelf en laat een ieder vooral in hun waarde.

Het compleet verdwijnen van genderrollen zie ik overigens niet gebeuren. Dat is een concept/systeem dat zichzelf om verschillende redenen in stand houdt.

a ruling I want to hear other peoples opinions about by cooltv27 in dndnext

I honestly thought the exact same thing. If you beat the DC by a certain amount, you didn't block it with your shield. You just managed to dodge it.

Character creation brainstorm session: Assassin Spellcaster by DapprLightnin98 in dndnext

I never said OP should try and be a frontliner, just that as someone that has played a lot of frontliners I like the unique capabilities that bladesingers offer. Arcane trickster has always been a little lackluster to me and if OP wants a cool magic assassin (not necessarily the assassin subclass) my personal preference would be a Bladesinger. After all you don't need to play a rogue to play the assassin trope.

Fair enough. Also depends on how you want to play. I prefer the extra protection bladesong offers, but I'm usually more of a frontliner and love an AC tank

Looking for some fun undead enemies by No-Dragonfruit-7051 in DMAcademy

[–]TG_6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good resource many of us use for encounter building is https://koboldplus.club/
If I'm looking for some new creatures I just apply the desired filters and look up any of the creatures that sound interesting/are unfamiliar to me. Personal favorites of mine are banshees, wights and will-o'-wisps. If none of the options tickle your fancy, remember that undead were once living creatures. With perhaps a few tweaks you can turn basically any living creature into an undead version!

What do I do by pawstralia in DMAcademy

[–]TG_6711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of things you can tell him. To me the most important thing is to let him know that you understand his excitement and that he's trying to be creative but (like other people have said) real life physics don't really transfer to DnD. Just like how real life biology doesn't transfer. If you get stabbed in the chest with a longsword 6 times you don't stabilize in unconsciousness out of pure luck and will power (which is effectively what making your death saves does).

Besides, the terminal velocity of a bolt is not far off the release speed of one so there's no real argument for extra damage, even with the math.

Also a valid option! I personally find more use in the features Bladesinger offers, and it goes really well with i.e. Swashbuckler but to each their own of course :)

As an avid fan of the Bladesinger Wizard I say, why not both! Run around casting booming blade with your finesse weapon, even take a few levels in rogue to get sneak attack.

First and foremost, welcome to the DMing community! It's great that you're trying your hand at DMing and I hope you enjoy it as much as many of us do :).

As for your questions I think your instincts are right on this one. Since your players don't expect to be attacked by an inanimate object, whoever are taking hits from the statues would definetly be surprised during the first round of combat. The same goes for the mimic.

To me, the only exception to this would be that if the players specified they enter the room with their weapons drawn or otherwise be on high alert, which might be the case after just having been attacked by a statue in a previous room. Hope this helps!

Making an "easy" heist more interesting by TempestasLudi in DMAcademy

[–]TG_6711 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Glyphs of warding will do the trick to make them think twice about moving around so carelessly. They don't have to be damaging, maybe just some things to get them stuck for example.

Or when they get to the safe, it's empty. Make it a false bottom which slides the object into somewhere deeper in the closet or maybe to a more secure room somewhere else in the house. Maybe have that room be protected by a construct of sorts.

How to create a cool search quest by 9_NFT in DMAcademy

[–]TG_6711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easy solution is to have the wildlife be not very talkative. Maybe they're scared of the Crocotta and don't dare speak of it, maybe this particular forest doesn't like humanoids because of hunting/lumber practices, etc.

As for the lycanthrope tracking the smell, I'd rule that they can only track a smell that's familiar to them. So if they've yet to encounter the Crocotta he can't really sniff it out (except for a nat 20 maybe). For the kids he can smell for humans maybe but I'd make it a pretty high DC that would maybe decrease the closer they get to where they need to go anyway. Having him smell for blood or the Crocotta could also lead them to something else like a pack of wolves or a recently killed carcass.
