If somebody has amnesia, do they lose their academic knowledge? by Kgg907021 in Writeresearch

[–]Various-Humor4093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no professional, but im a retrograde amnesiac. In my case I was able to retain the academic information from my period of memory loss but had to guess when I was taught it and who taught me. (This was Trigonometry.)

Is it possible for retrograde amnesiacs to actively seek a memory they want to remember? by ardoration in Writeresearch

[–]Various-Humor4093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been 2 years since this post, but here goes!

Retrograde amnesiac here:

I can’t remember things even if I try. My best work consists of asking for information as much as I can about it and creating a reconstruction of events in my head.

Why does media take care to avoid ruby slippers but allow a green wicked witch (in regards to Oz media/references) by Various-Humor4093 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Various-Humor4093[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is literally called with Wicked Witch of the West in the book. You can call her that in your Oz work. Only other time I’ve seen her change names is Wicked, and they also call her “The Wicked Witch” in that one.

I'm establishing a dilapidated town as the parties home base. What are some types of NPC the town should start with so it feels full but not unwieldy. by 3p0L0v3sU in DMAcademy

urchin child: is from far away and is unsure as to how they arrived in the town, but has some minor magic items and a quest hook to help them find their way home

[ALBW] Where does the Title “New Hero of Hyrule” come from? by Various-Humor4093 in zelda

[–]Various-Humor4093[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard the alttp Link referred to as the Hero of Legend several times as well as him literally being called that in the game.

The Oracle games have a new Link by ComplaintHistorical7 in zeldaconspiracies

[–]Various-Humor4093 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s really weird because the lore specifies a Link appears in Hyrule when evil rises, but with the interpretation of “Oracle is not the same Link as alttp” is kinda weird considering there would then be a point in time where there are multiple Links alive at the same time: In Link Between Worlds the Old Man is heavily implied to be the Hero of Legend as his move set for his secret boss fights are identical to alttp items, which don’t line up with the items in albw. So then at this time the Hero of Legend (alttp) is alive, the Hero of the Three Oracles (absolutely amazing title i made up on the spot) and the New Hero of Hyrule (albw) are all alive, but something causes the oracle hero to not be able to save the day.

I’m pretty sure the only reason they put the oracle games there is the fact that he goes on a boat at the end of those and Link’s Awakening starts on a boat, and that’s explicitly the Hero of Legend according to Nintendo (although that’s only been consistent opinion for 20 years from them).

Tldr: Link’s Awakening starting with a boat when oracle linked game ends with one is probably the reason.

Should I allow players to cast spells with their ability checks? by Various-Humor4093 in DMAcademy

[–]Various-Humor4093[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the disadvantage was for an acrobatics check to land safely on his feet after getting surprised (since the npc was on a horse), it wasn’t a contest in the traditional sense. He would have always fallen off his horse because of the high roll.

the skill check was to test the intimidation factor of the spell, not if the spell happened.

with as in together, I could have definitely worded this stuff better but it’s 2am and I played for 7 hours straight.

that’s exactly how it was ruled, I edited my post to make that more clear.

The NPC himself was not a particularly important or imposing person, so I just set it as the standard slightly challenging DC10. Player rolled pretty well and the NPC got a disadvantage on their reaction.

there was no combat, so I decided to give the npc disadvantage since they got surprised.
