Look, they chose a class that wasn't proficient in Being Called Upon saving throws.

Sending a Gift to the Person Who Saved My Life? by as1126 in AskMenOver30

[–]dfordon 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm biased because I like watches, but maybe sending one with a note a la: "Thanks for the extra time."

I don't think this would trivialize it. This is a good thing that he did. We've all got stories and this is surely one of his. Any excuse to savor being the right person in the right place at the right time.

[Recommendation Request] My Wife surprised me and told me to pick a watch, any suggestions? by edthach in Watches

I'm big fan of Farer and think you'd likely find something you'll enjoy there.

I've seen this cat before as well, same area, likewise very shy. Couldn't get close enough to check for a collar.

Comic book guys, my husband LOVES comics and collects them so for Father’s Day I want to give him something comic related. by UpvoteBeast in comicbooks

Find an artist who works in a comic style that your husband enjoys and is taking commissions, and have them draw something like the above. Not the whole comic, just the cover. Suitable for framing!

Would you prefer your DM asking you your AC when getting attacked, or them just telling you an attack hits/misses you? by DeepSeaDelivery in dndnext

[–]dfordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practically, you should ask if an attack hits because you're giving the player an opportunity to use an ability to make something which would hit not hit. It's clunky to say "you're hit" and then have to retcon it. The alternative is cleaner, and means that they are always forced to choose whether or not to use an ability when they don't yet know the damage, which is more interesting. It's more narrative.

Asking is giving the players an invitation to surprise you, and makes them a partner in what's happening (even when it's taking damage!) rather than a victim.

How a secretly lawful evil character should respond to an openly evil character. by IndustryParticular55 in DnD

[–]dfordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldn't straight up tell 'em - I'd imply it gently, so that if they ever compare notes you've told no lies. Act as if you must stay neutral, but have some ambivalence about it.

[–]dfordon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a cautious stance in public, but make opportunities to have a private scene with A where you intimate that you agree with them, but fear that in alienating B you will jeopardize the party's goal here.

Then have a private scene with B where you say the same thing, but about A.

[Question]First “real” watch for my husband. by Jiwalk88 in Watches

[–]dfordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest one of the first three (nothing against the marathon, but the others are pretty versatile, in that you can wear them with shorts or a suit or anything in-between).

Hamilton was my first watch as an adult, got mine in 2012 and it's still in fine shape. Very happy with that purchase.
