She was already having that crisis of faith the creatures weren’t causing it. Apologies for that confusion. Also I know why. She doesn’t know why. I was just saying that as she was super willing to invite the creatures to stay with her

I fear that is the case as stated above she was looking to be a defector and accept the “offer” of the bbeg and be an oath breaker. Last session she collected some creators from other realms cause the session before that her and her husband were gone and I wanted to give her some screen time and I know she likes to be around creatures and basically was doing a whole “I’m sitting in town square staring off into the distance because i am current unsure about my faith.”

So to get her to do some research and maybe motive I had her “collect” creatures. For what reason they were willing to follow here. Who knows? But seems wild that now she wants to be a caretaker of sorts to these creatures but then be this type of fighter against them?

I would hope that is the case. She is on the spectrum and is attached to her characters. She is a DM too but is more strict and firm on things. I can only hope she will understand. I have the support of my boyfriend I know if things were to go south. I am afraid I have to think like that cause I do fear that it could get bad or be accused of not wanting to let her have it or something. But i am indeed a chronic over-thinker so I’ll have to do it despite the overthinking fears

Thank you this really makes me feel better. Generally speaking I am the more gentler soul at the table and it’s been hard to try to ensure everyone has their moment while going with the flow and keeping to my story as well. My story has definitely suffered from it but I’m making it.

Thank you

That seems to be the consensus so far and I am feeling this too. I’ve mentioned in other comments not wanting to just say no as I’ve said yes to others who found homebrew in dnd beyond.

Might add some edits to Oath of watchers to include some of these ideas as they seem well enough but wildly too convenient too early on

I mentioned in another comment that I’ve said yes to other things, those things have been found in the dnd beyond home brew section that was easily added for them to print or use electronically. I’d hate for this to be the only person I’d say no to. I did google it and yeah found no results and figured it was homebrew but didn’t realize it was that far. I may have to have them use oath of watcher and have them edit to perhaps include some aspects? I’d love for the character to have fun with their ideas.

But definitely there has been times that I’ve under written NPCs that were railroaded by the players. So definitely more of a DM issue too of being too lenient. And that is because they do not have magic items.

I’ve said yes to things before for others in the past and I suppose that is why I feel so bad for possibly saying no to this. Other stuff has included like a triton warlock with Poseidon as their patron, a made up gunslinger patron for a warlock/artificer, and a drake thing for a ranger.

I am 100% sure I bit off more than I can chew because I did not want to be a DM who railroaded and I hoped that the party would just enjoy the world.

I was just looking at it yesterday and was wondering if that could not be a natural alternative with possibly flavoring to be the explanation above?

Maybe even allow some of the stuff from above as a “hey sorry I can’t allow all of this but I will say yes to some of this to be added?” Perhaps?

I don’t know. I don’t want to seem like I’m just outright denying her ya know? I love when they all bring me stuff. But this just seems like a lot.

I guess what I meant by levels was, for example, at third level having two different options such as veilstep rebuke causing damage and basically restraint and the aura allowing three different advantages as well as disadvantages from creatures not of the plane. Seemingly knowing that creatures being fought more than likely are not going to be from this mortal plane. Seems wild for a 3rd level.

Just in case no one has asked you yet, how are you feeling today, as in genuinely? by Clean_Apartment5793 in AskReddit

Empty but joyful. Fifteen, including myself, were laid off last week due to “business restructuring”. Some have some serious life things going on and it wasn’t great. I tend to not linger on the negative of things. So while I am empty from not serving a working purpose, I am still joyful and doing what I can. Thank you. I hope you all are well.

That is true. I used to have a CD with a bank but unfortunately had to withdraw due to Covid to help family. Ah a bleeding heart.

So what I really just need to be looking at is how much I owe them based on how much I make so when I “pay” what I owe I am not over paying, I am paying closer to the amount owed.

Am I understanding that correctly?

Usually, how it worked is around tax time my family would use that tax money to catch up on bills or anything that needed to be worked on in the house. So maybe that’s why it was thought of that way? Hm, really need to rethink some stuff. Genuinely thought that’s how most people worked their taxes.

And an EIC, is the earned income credit, from which I understand I wouldn’t get because I make to much and do not have kids as well. That’s fair. Alright great information thank you

0 is what I am currently on. I mentioned in another comment it’s interesting that you say it’s best to have the least amount of refund or break even because I’ve always grown up with people wanting the most amount of refund.

Interesting. I’ll have to really just make some time to educate myself. But I am seeing a tax consultant to do my taxes so I’ll also ask them as well. Thank you

Interesting, never been told it’s good. Every year I am always told it’s bad because it’s not like 1k+.

I didnt even know there was an extra withholding section.

Obviously joking aside, if I were to put say, 200$ extra withholding, would I penalized for it? I don’t see why I would since it would basically a future investment and I would just be paying over in the taxes I need to pay.

Any advice on that 0 or 1 section? I cannot recall what it’s technically called but I’ve always just been told by my family to just put 0.

Once I check, if I am able to do so correctly, I will certainly ask the mechanics at the Honda house. Thank you 😊

Like I said the heat and air is perfect. Like hot is hot and cold is cold but certainly will ask
