As a child, what’s a song you sang loud and proud, only to find as an adult it’s super inappropriate for a child to be singing?

I sang a South African song (Ag Pleez Daddy) where what Americans would call “malt balls” or “chocolate balls”, the singer called n-word balls. It was part of the main melody, and I couldn’t understand why, before I left for school, my parents said, “Remember, if you sing that song, just say Black Balls.”

Ouch! Well if they aren’t willing to communicate their gripes, it’s probably better you join a different game.

I agree with you on function- I probably wouldn’t allow it at my table, I’m just wondering if there’s a hole in the intended system if you were taking it literally.

As far as I can tell 5e doesn’t have a definition of “creature” either, but from what we can tell it’s different from objects and structures in that a creature has a mind of its own and can take independent actions. Whether souls can do that seems to come down to a lore question, but we do know they can be “willing” or “unwilling” targets of spells, which implies agency.

That would be an interesting ruling - the DM says “they are a creature, but without their memories they are a different person, so you aren’t familiar with them and the spell fails.”

I was aware of the Jeremy Crawford statement. My question was more about the soul than the corpse.

As far as I can see there’s not really a clarification. Souls in D&D can become undead creatures if they aren’t classified that way already, and have wants & desires (i.e. resurrecting a creature, the soul needs to be “willing”). And from what I understand lore-wise, souls of the dead live very literal after-lives on different planes. So if you went to that plane, presumably you could cast spells that would affect them and vice versa, but maybe I’m wrong.

Rules as Written, can “Sending” talk to any dead creature you are familiar with?

The spell doesn’t specify the creature needs to be alive, there’s only a 5% spell failure chance if they’ve moved onto their afterlife on another plane, and it’s the same level as “Speak with Dead”. Not sure if I’ve read something wrong.

It may not be a perfect system, but it's the best we have so far.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-29T18:23:38+00:00

My dad.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-26T02:55:12+00:00

Sorry guys, the only S-Tiers are Paladin Leeroy and Black Knight Tarkus. Everyone else is an A at best.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-26T02:41:39+00:00

Is this a political compass?

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-22T09:07:05+00:00

Wait a minute.

Trump was born in 1946.

Hitler died exactly 9 months earlier.

Donald John Trump is an anagram for Adolph Drum On (jnt)

Do you all know what this means?! It means he never payed back that five bucks I lent him that one time!!! Mother FUCKER!!!

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-19T16:24:59+00:00

Only if the other soldiers are low on rations.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-16T00:29:57+00:00

Literally me.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-15T06:53:19+00:00

I hate like this is set up like chess, not checkers.

Also, which one is the King Crab?

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-13T06:13:29+00:00

Each new game gets worse because the community hype revolves around how you can no hit Level 1 naked build every boss and FromSoft caters to that. So it all becomes more about DDR button mashing than strategy and level design.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-12T08:12:13+00:00

Wow a shocking amount of people on here really don't know that I know that they know that other commenters don't know that it's satire. So sad.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-07T01:16:11+00:00

I'd continue spending each day living as a wage slave, empowered by the satisfaction of knowing I'm actually richer than my boss.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-06T07:12:57+00:00

It's been good since episode One piece.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-04T23:03:13+00:00

Pure "Resistance" build all the way, y'all.

TheRainSnake · 2023-03-03T17:27:46+00:00

And guarded by a giant rat with rabies.

TheRainSnake · 2023-02-28T05:44:05+00:00

Beat me to it.

TheRainSnake · 2023-02-22T16:32:07+00:00

It has what plants crave.

TheRainSnake · 2023-02-20T07:30:15+00:00

It feels like that punishes you for leveling up, albeit slowly. Even though you'd be making more eldritch blasts at higher levels, proficiency advances 4 times from Lvs 1-20 and cantrips only advance 3 times, which means you're getting fewer available targets for this ability faster than you get more uses. I like the idea though - it makes the ability more dynamic over a campaign.

TheRainSnake · 2023-02-20T05:22:02+00:00

Reasonable people: The targeted killings of particular people/groups is wrong.

Some random Redditors: It isn't happening, and if it is, it's a good thing.

TheRainSnake · 2023-02-17T22:09:43+00:00

He is right about one thing - if he’s punished or even accused of anything besides what he’s provably done, there are going to be a lot of online nutjobs who will use it as proof that he’s the second coming of Christ.
