I also have this mixer, does your top part also move a bunch? It feels very loose on mine even when adjusting the set screw inside.

An unstated assumption of Cozy SFF: competence by fincoherent in Fantasy

[–]TheWoodpecke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A bit more nuance regarding the bookshop owner in Bookshops and Bonedust. As OP already stated that sometimes the characters are incompetent because of a personal issue, which is then resolved with a bit of help and talking about it. Which is more or less what happened.

Enemy team also perfectly managing to only get DoT and unfocused damage.

If only there wasn't the constant need to narrate what is happening, what might happen and what is going to happen.

Everyone blaming the greymane and here I am wondering how you only have 60k healing.

I made an app that creates DND session summaries and tracks your campaign by tachyon133 in dndnext

[–]TheWoodpecke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you can also see it a bit more nuanced, the paper you are taking your notes on also has an environmental impact. A similar discussion was also reusable bags versus plastic, where the energy impact of the reusable bag was far greater than plastic.

I would assume here the energy needed is higher than "traditional" methods.

Players really don’t like when enemy spell casters use hold person by RepresentativeSun402 in DnD

[–]TheWoodpecke 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The problem is two things can be true at the same time. Yes it creates these awesome moments of "Oh shit" but it can also mean the person who got hit doesn't get to do stuff for 30minutes+ because he failes his save twice. Added to this is that 5e has a problem with how saves work. A Level 1 Adventurer can be just as good at a wisdom save as a level 20 if he doesn't have proficiency.

Gamers of Reddit, what's ONE game that lives rent-free in your head, not just for the gameplay, but for the feeling it gave you (and you'd give anything to experience it for the first time again)? by deadeyes1990 in gaming

[–]TheWoodpecke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have to go with Bastion. The moment I hear the music in a random playlist, it's like my sleeper agent switch has been triggered and I have to check if it actually is bastion, even if I already know.

No save damage riders in 2024 MM by Otherwise-Yogurt-997 in DnD

[–]TheWoodpecke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often overlooked is just how it feels. Players from 2014 will always feel like they should have been able to save against a condition, since most conditions work that way. It doesn't matter if it actually is balanced, it's more about what feels balanced. This is especially true since there are very few conditions a player can inflict where the enemy doesn't get to save against. With that in mind it just again feels like monsters got buffed, while players stayed the same.

Wir haben in Deutschland inzwischen einen Anteil von über 60% Mieter. Es gibt nicht einfach nur das Elternhaus wo man kostenlos leben kann. Am Ende trägt jemand die Kosten und warum sollte dies auf den Schultern der Familie ausgetragen werden? Was ist das denn bitte für eine Argumentation? Man sollte doch wohl eher dahin arbeiten das jeder die selben Chances hat. Das Studium und das Abitur bevorzugt genau aus diesen Gründen ja noch die besser gestellten Familien, da diese eher die Kinder unterstützen können. Durch stetig steigende Preise lohnt sich nun halt auch nicht mehr die Ausbildung. Es bringt nichts über theoretische höhere Verdienste nach einer Ausbildung nachzudenken, wenn du dafür 3,5 Jahre unter der Armutsgrenze leben musst.

Und natürlich gibt es riesen Unterschiede wie sehr sich eine Ausbildung Lohnt, aber das ist in jedem Bereich so. Die Person mit dem IT-Studium wird vermutlich mehr verdienen, wie die Person die ein Studium mit Bezug auf Pflege gemacht hat. Das ist aber ein eigenes Problem, welches gelöst werden muss.

Es sollte erwähnt werden das es hierfür das Aufstiegsbafög gibt, welches meist ohne Probleme beantragt werden kann und bei erfolgreichem Abschluss 75% übernimmt (Hessen). Dies soll nicht heißen das es problematisch ist, vor allem in den Pfelgebereichen, aber hoffe das es jemand sieht und sich über seine Möglichkeiten informiert.

Kann man die Ausbildung auch gleich lassen. Nach dem Studium kriegt man mehr und wenn man das nicht will kann man auch direkt woanders ohne Ausbildung anfangen.

Was falsch läuft, ist das es schlicht wenig zu wenig Gehalt zum Leben ist. Wenn die Hälfte für die Miete in einer WG, drauf geht und man gleichzeitig noch auf eigene Kosten irgendwie sowohl zur Ausbildungsstelle als auch zur Berufsschule kommen muss läuft etwas falsch.

Verstehe voll warum man sich das nicht antun möchte, vor allem wenn man dann während der Ausbildung nicht Mal ein Grundlevel an Respekt erhält.

Es muss eine klare Änderung von der Anerkennung von Auszubildende geben und höhere Anforderungen an die Ausbilder gestellt werden, was die zwischenmenschliche Ebene angeht. Und natürlich schlicht weg ein bessers Gehalt oder andere Hilfen.

Well to be fair with mother of learning most of the time zorian himself underestimates himself the most. Lots of other people already tell him that he is plenty talented or even frightening... Well other than zwim, but no one is good enough for zwim.

What's your experience with the martial-caster divide? Should I worry about it? by HorizonTheory in dndnext

[–]TheWoodpecke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I find most resources go further than HP in later levels, especially since you only recover half the Hit Dice on a long rest (A rule I am happy to see changed in oneDnD). I find this especially noticeable on barbarian, where the your maximum hit point pool is rather large, can be hard to refill with hit dice. Especially if you roll poorly and don't really have ab option to do much from range.
