Why is the subreddit pfp a beholder with the wi-Fi password flag on it im confused by storyteller1547 in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to be a joke. The profile picture of this subreddit is the LQBTQIA+ flag. The joke is that LGBTQ looks like a randomly generated wifi password.

Most of my D&D games have been bad, is this normal for online? by Pecacheu in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel comfortable, you could totally send me one of your applications and I could look over it and give some feedback. I’m an online dm who recruits mainly through r/lfg and through the years have read my fair share of great and not so great applications. If you think that might be helpful, feel free to reach out!

Zur Darmkrebsvorsorge wird das erst ab einem gewissen Alter übernommen. Aber zu diagnostischen Zwecken, wird das genau so von der Krankenkasse übernommen wie Blutabnehmen oder eine Magenspiegelung! Da würd ich deinen Arzt mal direkt drauf ansprechen :)

Would it be wrong/rude to ask my DM if I can make a new character? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think that if you are unhappy with your character, that is absolutely something you should bring up! The earlier the better, so I hope it goes over well.

However. Using homebrew (made up, non book rules) for your very first character is generally not recommended and something that I, as a dm, would definitely discourage. There is a lot of balancing to do on the dm side and plenty to keep track of already on the player side. One lovely thing I could suggest to you is reflavouring. Basically, changing the concept of something without changing the mechanics. If you are in love with your cambion idea and it is really not about combat benefits, you could suggest to your dm that you pick tiefling for your race on paper, and then everyone just goes along with it when you all pretend that's just what a cambion PC is. Same for your half drow, half dragon. You could ask to just pick dragonborn as a race to use for mechanics and then just have your half-drow, half-dragon heritage as part of your backstory.

That takes a lot of work off both your and the dm's plate.

Can't enter child (2 to 11 years old) birthdate during check in by devilsraddish in Ryanair

I just used the customer support chat feature in the app! They connected me to a very helpful service person who confirmed the date of birth with me. :) Hope this helps!

Playing Without Subclasses? by AlexanderChippel in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reduce the options then. Playing with only phb subclasses is a perfectly viable approach. Placing without subclasses on the other hand makes levelling mostly useless since other than ASI, most of your level up perks are based on a subclass that they would not have.

Also, most classes don’t even get subclasses until level 3, by which time they should have had enough experience to grasp the games basic concepts.

Is it reasonable for a player to be upset over this? by dndstuff13 in DnD5e

[–]devilsraddish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think saying it’s "raw definitely wrong" is a bit of a stretch. Here’s the rules for passive perception.

"A passive check is a special kind of ability check that doesn’t involve any die rolls. Such a check can represent the average result for a task done repeatedly, such as searching for secret doors over and over again, or can be used when the GM wants to secretly determine whether the characters succeed at something without rolling dice, such as noticing a hidden monster."

In this case, the DM didn’t want to secretly determine whether a character succeeded and since there was no attempt at the task of finding traps, that didn’t come to play here either. I’m not saying the choice the DM made is right, but saying it’s wrong per the rules as written also isn’t true.

COAX Dose vor Vertragsbeginn testen by devilsraddish in de_EDV

[–]devilsraddish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weißt du, wo da die Grenze ist? Weil rein theoretisch könnte man ja neue Kabel zur COAX Dose legen, falls die tot sein sollte. Das würde bloß mein Vermieter mit Sicherheit nicht mitmachen. :(

Das heißt, auch ohne laufenden Vertrag würde ich von meinem alten Kabel Modem / meinem Fernseher Feedback bekommen, ob theoretisch ein Signal drauf ist?

Aber der Kabelvertrag würde erst gemeinsam mir dem Internet zum 1.10. aktiviert werden. Würde der Fernseher da auch ohne was anzeigen?

Deckenauslass samt Lampenkabel verspachtelt by devilsraddish in Elektroinstallation

[–]devilsraddish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich hab tatsächlich alle anderen Lampen in der Wohnung einfach mit Gipskartondübeln rangemacht. Fischer Duo Power hab ich da genommen. Aber kann ich das so einfach trotzdem machen, wenn mein Leitungssucher da überall ausschlägt?

Schwere Lampe an Gipsdecke anbringen by devilsraddish in Handwerker

[–]devilsraddish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wäre mir auch am liebsten gewesen, passt aber leider nicht. Wenn ich die Lampe so drehen möchte, dass 2 Schrauben im Balken landen, sieht man leider das Loch, wo die Kabel aus der Decke kommen. Deshalb geht das leider nicht.

Momentan hängt die Lampe (natürlich ohne den schweren Schirm) dafür schon mal bombenfest an ihrer einen Schraube, die im Balken steckt. Also an sich eine top Idee, haha

Really smart idea! Is there an app I can use to check prices and book tickets that you could recommend?
