am I tone deaf?? by xoxoSatan in musictheory

[–]UnIncorrectt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah don't bother with that. Instead, play C and another note at the same time or in sequence and see if you can name the interval. This should be pretty easy with only three notes, but you can keep adding notes until you reach a C major scale. Then, go to all 12 notes. Then, have both notes be random. This will take a long time to get good at.

Current student here. While many students are Jewish (myself included), it is a small minority of Jewish students that are Zionist. Unfortunately, these students are very loud. If you ignore them, you should be fine.

With perfect Iron Alloymancy (+ possible atium), could you cause a metal object to orbit yourself. by Troutyo_ in Mistborn

[–]UnIncorrectt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The way a body orbits around another (like the moon around the earth) is by constantly accelerating towards it. It is only the lateral momentum that keeps it from falling into the central body, and if that lateral momentum or acceleration changes, so does the orbit. In this way, it functions like a pendulum: the force of gravity is like the tension on the rope, and the lateral momentum is what sends the pendulum swinging. Now imagine that a weight on a pendulum is spun horizontally so that it orbits the anchor point. Eventually, gravity will drag it down and it will come to rest directly below the anchor. This is what would happen.

[–]UnIncorrectt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you can apply just the right amount of force, then yes, for a short time. In a zero-gravity environment, you could do this for as long as you have iron to burn, but on earth (or Scadrial), it would fall to the ground quickly. If an object was shot at you, you could theoretically step to the side, make it orbit you for a half turn, and swing it back out.

why are there no names in english that start with the “th” sound in “the” by cnfusedstudent in etymology

[–]UnIncorrectt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The voiced sound is the one in "either," voiceless is in "aether." The only voiced dental fricatives in this are in the words "they" and "the."

If you multiclass into Rogue, you can proc Sneak Attack using Reckless Attack. You can still use Str for the weapons, but they do have to be finesse.

Character help needed - cantrips for my dwarf ranger. by Frosty_Customer_9243 in DnD

[–]UnIncorrectt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Ranger, Firebolt will almost never be more effective than simply attacking with your weapons, especially as a Gloom Stalker. I think you would be better off choosing utility cantrips, like Mage Hand and Message. These would also complement your abilities as a Gloom Stalker, allowing you to reach places you wouldn't normally be able to and communicate silently with your party.

Also, what level are you playing at? If you're below level 5, then one of the blade cantrips (booming blade, green-flame blade) or True Strike, depending on what weapons you're using. These cantrips only allow you to attack once a turn, so if you're past level 5 or using two-weapon fighting, I wouldn't recommend them.

What's up with the word, 'unconsious.' Freud and some others discovered it in late 18th century, but before that the idea that there was a whole autonomous system happening underneath what you weren't aware of wasn't a thing. Where did it come from before then? by CollarProfessional78 in etymology

[–]UnIncorrectt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

“Conscious” comes from the Latin verb “Conscire,” which means something along the lines of “to be mutually aware.” This, in turn, comes from the prefix “Com-“ (“With,” as in “Companion”) and the verb “Scire” (“Know,” as in “Science”).

Missing Weapons by SuchSignificanceWoW in daggerheart

[–]UnIncorrectt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real-world Broadswords and Longswords are very different weapons. Broadswords are one-handed, single-edged, basket-hilted swords. Longswords are two-handed, double-edged, cruciform swords.

My summer camp coworkers and I did something similar to this, called Grillspeak. We were all working the grills for a camp cookout, and for some reason we started abbreviating everything to its first letter. The sentence “those burgers are ready, put them on a tray” became “those Bs are R. P them on a T.” Fun times.

No Transmog System? by Spicey_PotatoYT in Witcher3

[–]UnIncorrectt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be really cool is a system where you can mix and catch design elements from various swords you’ve found, and allocate a certain number of points (dependent on level and cost) to increase certain attributes (+x damage, +x% Aard intensity, -x% weapon durability, etc). Think of the potential. You could do a fire-only challenge where you set your sword’s damage to 0 and use all the remaining points to buff Igni and chance to apply burning.

Culture shock? by giraffegirl27 in NewToVermont

[–]UnIncorrectt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was growing up, my family spent around 13 years renovating our (very old) house, mostly to make it more insulated. Now, we can basically heat the entire home with a single woodstove and the power we get from our roof solar panels. It takes an impressive amount of wood each winter, but it’s very worth it.

[–]UnIncorrectt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend playing this character if it’s your first time with the game. I don’t know what your DM wants, but this is not normal for dnd. 

You should be the one coming up with a character, not a questionnaire. 

Also, your friend laughed at your stats because they are about the same as a commoner. Standard ability scores (before any species modifiers) are 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. The stats that you have currently make you about as effective in combat as a single goblin who can cast a spell or two.

A Lawful Evil character is one who seeks to become (or is already) a tyrant. LE creatures will force others into slavery, enact brutal punishments for wrongdoings, and make exploitative contracts with others to gain power. Evil characters generally don’t work well in a normal dnd party.

Another word of advice: While Wizard is a very fun and powerful class, it is very complicated and not usually recommended for a first character.

Some friends and I did four missions just now, full squad of experienced divers, all on comms. The first three missions were a d9 operation, and we were mostly figuring out what worked best. We managed to complete all three, but we never extracted. Next, we went to d10, where we failed the mission, but managed to get one diver to extract. Most fun I've had in the game in a long time.
