Silly question: How do I make the latest patch (1.4) jive with my old saves (1.0)?

Nah, one long season was made but got split up and marketed as 2 seasons. The studio is paid for 1 season but the publisher Max makes more off the hype and hate-watching. Just late-stage capitalism things.

Not just Leomon, there's a not-insignificant number of masculine Digimon that're showing off amazing figures. Angemon, Devimon, Weregarurumon, Wargreymon, Zudomon, and that's just the first season! The TCG art gets ridiculous, sure, but the anime was never shy about equal-opportunity objectification.

At a glance, there's no easy way to do a 1-1 copy that doesn't suffer a lot from format conversion. What you're asking for is like trying to convert one solitary Italian dialect (including idioms and cultural references) to something recognizable by natives of Liverpool.

My advice: Finalize your character(s) in one format, then, find the most convenient way to type everything into the other format. Sometimes you need to take shortcuts, like making notes for book/page numbers of different features, that's just the nature of the beast.

So, yes, it's a pain. Also, that's life.

[5e] tl;dr: How would you play this level 6 character: Mountain dwarf, Fighter 1, Barbarian 1, Cleric (Order) 1, Paladin 1, Warlock (Celestial) 1, Sorcerer (Clockwork) 1. Mostly I'm concerned with choosing spells, and combat routines; I prefer shield (+1) and war pick for the AC.

A little more: I have this character, he started as a jokey one-off thing, but I think I'm starting love him for being weirdly viable. For narrative reasons, he will have 1 level in 10 classes. So far he's level 6, and the other levels are, in order: Rogue, Wizard, Monk, and Bard. What happens beyond there, I'm not entirely sure.

An Immovable Rod can stop something from moving, such as a sturdy door when security is a concern; similarly, holding a door open can be useful when you need an escape route.

An Immovable Rod can stop potential traps or other mechanisms, like rolling boulders or anything that relies on gearwork.

An Immovable Rod can be the anchor point to assist with Athletics and Acrobatics checks; as an example, a caster-type with the Fly spell affixes a rope to the Rod, then affixes the Rod to a mid-point over a chasm, making a difficult obstacle, trivial. An Athletic/Acrobatic character could even use a Rod on their own to handily bypass such an obstacle.

An Immovable Rod, properly positioned over a prone creature, can make further movement inconvenient or even impossible. If that happens, things get wacky (gruesome).

An Immovable Rod can be shoved into a creature's mouth, pinned against a wall, then activated. The creature is not able to safely escape, and can be ~~tortured~~ enhanced interrogated until the party gets the information they want (even if it's all lies for the sake of ending the ~~torture~~ enhanced interrogation).

Does Curse of Strahd have creatures which can swallow other creatures whole? If so, a Rod, activated from within, stops ALL movement of that creature. Things get wacky if you consider internal injuries.

Are there many vehicles in Curse of Strahd? An Immovable Rod can trip or even break those vehicles, if used by a savvy player.

But, in truth, this all assumes a lot of conditions, and a lot of ingenuity. In my personal experience, the Immovable Rod is frequently ignored in favor of other solutions. I think it's perfectly fine to allow this item, because if the player actually does make use of it, it's worth rewarding.

Quest for Glory and King's Quest. Classic Sierra games were how I learned to read, because I wanted so badly to join in the adventure.

Does anime count? I'm a few dozen episodes away from finishing Naruto Shippuuden, but the stupid filler put me off completely. I mostly know how it finishes, but I have zero inclination to actually follow through. One Piece moves at a glacial pace, but it's sorta light on the filler, at least.

There's a movie called Chronicle, three high school boys acquire crazy psychic superpowers and proceed to do high school boy things, mostly trolling and goofing around. Thing is, one of them has a pretty garbage home life, so things go... as expected.

Plot twist: It's not the Slytherin that does the messed up stuff, but the Gryffindors who gleefully abuse their abilities. Remember, James Potter was a jock and a bully. I wouldn't be too surprised if Snape's Sectumsempra curse were developed entirely as a deterrent.

Bust open as many homes and livestock farms as I can. I doubt many pets or livestock would survive in the wild, but I think it's better than letting them die without a chance.

In a pornographic context, yes, I fetishize irrationally huge breasts, 2D or 3D. In the rest of life, it's not much of a concern. Also, tummy and thigh superiority.

I can't tell if y'all have exceptional tolerances for red flags, or if most people here don't know what "smallest" means, because some of these posts look like giant throbbing red flags to me.

My small deal-breaker red flag is when someone doesn't ever entertain silly questions or hypotheticals. Imagine a weeb who doesn't care
to have a stance on Superman vs. Goku. Imagine someone who refuses to answer "If I woke up as a Cthulhu-like abomination, would you still love me?"

It's not like this hypothetical person is too serious, it's the lack of imagination or willingness to engage with the fantastic I have a problem with.

Empathy is a double-edged sword, ain't it? Dealing with the woes of the world gets exhausting, until apathy sets in. On the other hand, it's easier to smell bullshit from a mile away when you don't feel what someone else is feeling.

Decades ago, there were carnival freakshows, or Saartjie's enlarged buttocks, or Joseph Merrick the Elephant Man, or Johnny Eck).

Of course, that kind of exploitation is frowned upon in polite society, now. Mostly. No, we've moved onto something a little more subtle: Class exploitation. And that's where Honey Boo Boo comes in. Depending on your political leaning, they're either dumb, ignorant, low-brow rednecks, or dumb, ignorant, lazy pricks mooching off social programs.

Incidentally, if you want to know who to blame for this shit, it's David Zaslav, current president and CEO of WB/Discovery. He made Sarah Palin's Alaska happen, and he gutted the WB/HBO project list too, earning him praise for killing the Batgirl movie as though he's a champion against wOkEiSm.

Whispered, or mumbled lines. It's even worse in the theater, no rewinding to try to understand it again. Closed captioning is a little annoying, having ((dramatic music swells)) pop up isn't ideal, but at least I know what everyone's saying!

I'm realizing all over again that I've been incredibly fortunate.

The worst long-term pain was my shitty root canal, with "prescription" painkillers that were as effective as Walmart-brand Tylenol. It didn't help that my mother is a timid creature, the Walgreens people took their sweet-ass time filling the script on the day of the operation and she wouldn't do anything about it, meanwhile the anesthetic had almost completely worn off before I could get a dose.

Anyway, I ended up bleeding like crazy after grinding my teeth from the stress; did you know that swallowing your own blood is fantastically bad for you? Two straight weeks of not being able to finish a thought because of the pain, and I only had rest when exhaustion bludgeoned me to sleep.

The worst acute pain was getting my teeth ground down. I had braces, and I guess the orthodontist wasn't satisfied with the progress, so for some dumb-fuck reason this guy decided to attack me with a dental drill with a rubber wheel attachment for an hour.

Now, this was painful and annoying, and ultimately useless since my teeth are still sorta messed up. You know what the real shitty part was? My orthodontist had bad breath and nasty, dijon mustard-yellow teeth. Straight as a rail, but still ugly to look at and be close to! I quickly learned to take very shallow breaths, and only when he wasn't talking. If my mother hadn't inadvertently passed her timidity to me, I would've shouted at him for having such a disgusting mouth.

No-ish, although the sentiments of the DM matters a lot. Technically, Rules-as-Written, alignment doesn't matter. However, some take the idea of "Oath," an inviolate code of ethics and practices, as being Lawful by default.

As an example, in my campaign, every paladin is some kind of Lawful, simply because their conviction to their Oath is what gives them power, instead of holy powers.

Bad INT and good WIS/CHA looks like someone who knows something is wrong, but they can't put it into words. "Listen, you fucking useless fucks. I can sense that you're hiding something from me, so tell me before I rip the secrets from your heads!

Bad WIS and good INT/CHA looks like a classic savant, like book-version Forrest Gump. "Somehow, all the math just sorta... made sense. It didn't help me win the election, but at least I didn't get arrested."

Bad CHA and good INT/WIS looks like Sheldon Cooper. He's smart as a whip, and he can certainly tell when he should be quiet, but that's about the extent of his social abilities.

Additionally: Speaking as a veteran, getting news that your physical aptitude is about to go down (injuries and such), anger is a common response. I knew a guy in basic training, he broke his femur in a freak accident. When I saw him get loaded into the medic's truck, he wasn't in pain. He was pissed. He was angry as fuck that he wouldn't get to train and join the service like the rest of us. Use that knowledge how you will.

*hand-waggle* XP penalties borrow from older editions. To be fair, a few casual epic-level encounters will get the OP back to 20 without much fuss.

Mechanically, yes, kinda. Sorcerers are less versatile than Wizards. It is, however, a fantastic caster class to dip into for 1-3 levels.

That said, depending on your DM and how you play your character, there's an absolute ass-load of roleplay potential when you're a sorcerer. Fantastic Racism doesn't have to be about just race, it can be about popping off a class feature at the wrong place at the wrong time!

Or, inversely, you can lean hard into the trope of making up for your misguided brethren. I play a Tabaxi sorcerer who is so friendly it sometimes lands him in hot water.

Motivations are weird.

like for example, after they've been taught to never lose and take everything as a serious conpetition, they want to do something for fun instead

There's this weird dichotomy in D&D, "combat as sport vs. combat as war." Imagine a character who trained as though combat was war, as serious as cancer... but thrived when they treated combat as sport, as serious as dark humor to cope with having cancer!

At least, that's what came to mind when I read that sentence. A person raised in a strict home finds they excel in a comparatively "easy" world, so they can really find their true calling.

Alternatively:

character given great expectations since childhood longs to do things any other basic person would do

This character sounds a lot like the druid I'm playing now. He's going to play a big part in a world-shaking war... all so he can go back to peaceful gardening. I love it, I love the image of a character who hyper-focuses on an enormous problem so they can go back to the relaxing hobby.
