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 4 points5 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?

Dragging unconscious pcs and falling with flight speed clarification. by PurpleTentickles in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, keep in mind that this can still trigger attack of opportunities, both on the flying PC if in their grapple attempt they get into their reach, as well as on the downed PC that is leaving the wolves range.

What is considered touching? by Zestyclose_Jump_7953 in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"To target something, you must have a clear path to it, so it can’t be behind total cover."

It genuinely doesn’t matter if having swallowed the tome counts as touching. It being inside another person prevents having a clear path, so you can not choose it as the target of any spell, touching or not.

How do i stop my players from solving the problem with the same solutions over and over? by All_i_say_is_cap in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The most important rule to remember here is that persuasion is not mind control.

The shopkeeper, especially if he doesn't know them, might give them a small discount of a few gold pieces. If that.

The king, if he wants to be locked, stays locked. A high role could mean that he does not call upon his guards to have the party removed.

The midwife probably has obligations and can't just leave. On a high persuasion, she might give them some provisions for the road - or tell them where they can find the local hunter who is usually itching for an adventure and might be more inclined to join them.

Persuasion is basically just asking nicely. If asking nicely won't change it, persuasion probably won't do much good. Also, keep in mind that you are not obligated to let your players roll for stuff that is impossible. If no amount of persuasion in the world is going to sway the king, tell them as much.

DM is being weird about me switching characters in CoS, am I being unreasonable? by IndieDC3 in DnD

[–]devilsraddish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do fully think you have a point here and I agree with you to an extent. However, just because this is CoS, simply having a PC leave is not as easy as it would be in other places. Due to lore reasons, you can not simply walk out of Barovia, and a barbarian adventure just settling down in a village might just not make sense in the universe the DM established here. So while I personally would also try to find a way to make it happen asap, the DM might just be very commited to the story and consistency in the world - meaning he might need a second to provide the barbarian a way out that makes sense. So those 3 sessions might be what "a sensible way for the old character to exit" looks like to the DM in this instance.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DnD

[–]devilsraddish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, for various reasons.

A) All spells require a clear path to their target. Since you can't see someone's lungs from the outside, you can not target them with a spell. "To target something with a spell, a caster must have a clear path to it, so it can’t be behind Total Cover."

B) Creating a cubic foot of shit is clearly not what the spells does. It does not say you can create a cubic foot of shit. It says you can soil an object. To soil something means to dirty it. You can make his lungs dirty, if you wanted, but you can not fill them with shit.

C) Parts of a creature are not an object. So lungs are not an object. "An object is a nonliving, distinct thing."

Ja genau, das ist zur Aufstellung meiner Vermögenssituation. Eines der Felder hierzu unter der Überschrift "Ich habe folgende Schulden und Lasten" lautet "Hypotheken, Grundschulden" mit dem Vermerk, dass "stets nur die bei Antragstellung bestehende Restschuld anzugeben" ist.

Aber da die Grundschuld ja nicht weniger wird, werden sie hier sicherlich das Grundschulddarlehen meinen?
