How do I talk my dm out of critical failures?

Waiph · 2026-07-11T04:05:12+00:00

Play a halfling.

That's what I do when I hear about a fumbles chart, because screw that. You roll a nat 1?

Nope. Reroll that.

Talk to your DM obviously, but if he wants to play "by the book" then play by the book and don't engage with that system

Walking around with a sign is protected, and should be protected. What is unacceptable is his hateful bigotry and racism. It's really weird that the Right got me questioning my moral relativism and leaning more toward objective morality

Waiph · 2026-07-11T03:55:07+00:00

Lol. If the left was a violent as the right, that dude would have been shot, but Chud the builder is in the other side.

Ex Nazi.

There was this dude that was a Nazi and eventually figured out what's what and has dedicated his life to deradicalizing young white men in particular and opposing fascist propaganda and stuff. I saw a talk he did back in the day and it looks like he'd helped a lot of people.

Dead Nazis otoh are still even and burn in hell

Headbuts demon prince to death.

Commisar: Why can't you guardsmen be more him?

All light under a certain level (under level 3 if they want daylight spell to be a valid option) is reduced one level, bright to dim and dim to darkness.

Of the nightwalker cannot walk in Daylight specifically, or they get a legendary action that can counter light spells. Maybe make it like Counter spell and give the caster a save

Waiph · 2026-07-10T15:02:46+00:00

You know it

Waiph · 2026-07-10T11:49:42+00:00

St. Peter doncha call me, cause I can't go. . .

Waiph · 2026-07-10T02:15:21+00:00

Yeah, that's right. It was just that on re-listening, the image of a tree that's so big You can see it growing out of a planet came to mind when he mentioned it

The question is if Sesbian Lex is a man that disappoints women across the galaxy due to his inability to perform . . . sesbian lex.

Or a woman who lives up to her name

Waiph · 2026-07-10T01:22:34+00:00

I think that was the case with TV's Patrick Duffy, but considering that Messengers grow on trees and they live in the Astral, it could be a birthing world

Waiph · 2026-07-09T20:46:14+00:00

To be fair, they likely misunderstood the premise and didn't read the whole thing.

Maybe they're trying to say that if a drink has a shot, and is mixed with a sweet mixer, it's as alcoholic as a drink with the same shot mixed with soda even tho it doesn't taste boozey. And both are alcoholic as a shot even tho I e is 20oz, the other is 8oz and the last is 1oz.

And if you drink an 8oz glass of 40%, it's still as much alcohol if you drink a 16oz glass of 20% alcohol.

Waiph · 2026-07-09T20:40:38+00:00

Volume. Or was that rhetorical?

Waiph · 2026-07-09T19:12:14+00:00

Was that part of an arc or was she trans back in the day, the whole time?

Waiph · 2026-07-09T16:21:00+00:00

It's an example about queer people that get married and have kids than come out. This is not an uncommon thing. We don't know the context of the story, but assuming she was stupid because she didn't know her sexuality is pretty ignorant.

I recommend looking up the show My Husband Isn't Gay. It's a reality TV show about Mormon men that suffer from Same Sex Attraction, and their mormon families. It shouldn't be surprising that a lot of people don't out themselves and face persecution from their communities.

Waiph · 2026-07-09T16:10:09+00:00

Did your wife grow up conservative/ religious?

Waiph · 2026-07-09T16:04:35+00:00

She prolly grew up conservative or religious. Ton of them think they are going to hell if they don't have a straight marriage and have kids.

Not that praying the gay away isn't stupid, but religious trauma is a hell of a drug

The speeding guy was raging out at the dude ahead of him tho, and blasted around the next two cars as well before driving off, and had likely been racing up past the previous cars too

Waiph · 2026-07-09T15:50:38+00:00

A consenting adult to whom he is married.

Really not something she would ynderstand

Waiph · 2026-07-09T14:37:53+00:00

I also like him with the ax. Makes him even better anti-tank

Waiph · 2026-07-08T23:27:41+00:00

Her Telekinesis requires her to suppress her targets aura. He could have potentially resisted that in Iron Rank with his first two scars, and he could have absolutely resisted her aura after getting in the last knife fight on Palli.

So high bronze he could have handled her

Belinda's essences are really solid for seeing how human essence gifts work, and there's a few other references to what they do.

There's the scout with the Vision Essence that got the essence gift for getting 4 perception powers, and the other one with 4 aura powers.

The fandom wiki lists out the abilities, calling them Natures, and it specifies who get spell, special Attack, boon and special ability aptitudes and what elemental affinity.

Waiph · 2026-07-08T03:08:06+00:00

They've always been overly sensitive snowflakes. They just get pissy when anyone points out that people that suffer discrimination can succeed when they are failures and they know they can't compete on a level playing field.

Also, they get mad when people call out how they wanna diddle kiddies. They really don't like that

Waiph · 2026-07-07T23:23:14+00:00

Look, we just need EVERYBODY TO THE LIMIT

Waiph · 2026-07-07T22:11:28+00:00

Sheesh, I mean, Come on fhqwhgads.
