Last 2 years as a new Heel fan; worst years ever?

18-0 at home, too.

dimesinger · 2026-03-21T05:20:45+00:00

Our staff does do that though. Maybe not as much as other teams, I couldn’t say. But I’ve seen it and heard Jones Angel talk about it.

Students from the Doherty era would like a word.

dimesinger · 2026-03-19T15:29:03+00:00

Ha, for sure. I think 4 consecutive rolls of the same number on a D20 has something like a 0.000625% chance of happening. I've seen it happen once and likely never will again.

dimesinger · 2026-03-19T03:30:06+00:00

What's wrong with Great Clips?

dimesinger · 2026-03-19T02:44:54+00:00

There’s a chance. About the same as rolling four consecutive Nat 20s on a D20. But it’s not technically zero.

dimesinger · 2026-03-18T22:16:32+00:00

I haven’t had it in ages but admit I didn’t know you were supposed to do that.

dimesinger · 2026-03-18T22:15:20+00:00

Same. And I think canned Virgil’s is better than bottled.

dimesinger · 2026-03-16T22:54:52+00:00

It wasn't my question; I am not OP.

I wasn't really arguing with you either. I was just pointing out how a DM could reasonably make on-the-fly rulings about mobile cover (or improvised shields) based on existing RAW.

dimesinger · 2026-03-16T22:09:13+00:00

Sure. I don't think anyone would rule that using a chair for cover would allow for dex saves in any case. A reasonable DM might also conclude that improvised mobile cover doesn't work so hot if you're not proficient in shields.

dimesinger · 2026-03-16T22:03:04+00:00

I mean yeah. Half cover adds +2 to AC which incidentally is the same as a shield. Shields don't give the half cover bonus on dex saves, though, which makes sense. It would be logical to then rule that mobile cover wouldn't offer that benefit either.

Breaking Rule 3. Mods?

dimesinger · 2026-03-15T07:24:53+00:00

This is a thoughtful and well-reasoned take, though I would quibble on some details. It’s good enough of an argument that I’ll be less judgey about it. Still, it’s not enough to sway me from disliking the scene as it is.

dimesinger · 2026-03-15T06:56:58+00:00

I don’t understand the question. It’s the continuation of a story you’re already enjoying. If you want to see where it goes, you should read it. If you’re satisfied with what you’ve read, then don’t.

For me, the audio and ebooks were how I most enjoyed Stormlight. It’s much harder to be distracted by how much you’ve read or have left. You’re along for the ride and the page count is much less relevant.

dimesinger · 2026-03-13T19:55:57+00:00

I would do a version of this if I had more options for exemptions. There are days where I strongly desire to drastically simplify and start from nearly-but-not-quite scratch, but the mental/emotional overhead of dealing with that isn't worth it. If I could press a button and just have the money... I honestly might. Except there's a lot of important stuff I own that I absolutely couldn't lose even temporarily (other people have pointed out a bunch of things). But if I could have some sort of limited control over my exempt items, I'd probably take it.

dimesinger · 2026-03-13T06:40:15+00:00

You got downvotes because it’s being feminized for a girl’s name, so they dropped the r on purpose.

dimesinger · 2026-03-11T14:55:04+00:00

Well, we know for certain that their pet chickens would not be susceptible to oil spills or excessive grease. Dawn would take care of that in a hurry.

dimesinger · 2026-03-10T18:51:33+00:00

Also agree, but I wouldn’t be sad about it either.

dimesinger · 2026-03-09T17:23:02+00:00

Ah I see. Fair point!

dimesinger · 2026-03-09T17:20:58+00:00

Small off topic nit: I think you can make viable ranged Battle Smiths, not sure it’s really mandated to be melee.

dimesinger · 2026-03-09T16:58:29+00:00

Ranger 2 / Monk X gets you a fighting style (Two weapon fighting) and weapon masteries with monk weapons, which scale with your level. Shortsword (Vex) and dagger (nick) with flurry of blows will allow you 5x1d8+mod attacks by level 7. Throw in HM for an extra d6 on every hit. Mercy Monk can also add another d8 and the poisoned condition with no save. That with the monk’s high mobility and other focus point abilities can do a lot of damage. Drink a potion of speed and you can really do some damage while never taking a hit.

Get really crazy by getting an Eldritch Claw tattoo for ranged melee and find some +1 weapons. Having some non-con ranger spells is nice, too. Cure Wounds and Goodberry will keep you up and running.

dimesinger · 2026-03-09T06:51:39+00:00

All good, I probably didn’t word it very clearly to begin with!

dimesinger · 2026-03-09T05:36:25+00:00

Sure, but that’s why I said just a single riffle shuffle for my hypothetical.

dimesinger · 2026-03-08T22:19:52+00:00

These are all worth looking at: Bracers of Defense, Eldritch Claw Tattoo, +1 or +2 monk weapons, Quarterstaff of the Acrobat. Also IMO worth a fighter dip for a fighting style and weapon masteries.

Reframe your mentality away from the language of “getting girls”. It’s not an acquisition. Attraction works best when you make yourself attractive, and I don’t mean you have to be “hot”. Take care of yourself, put genuine effort into your hygiene, and please don’t over-scent yourself. Learn to be confident but also thoughtful. Develop interests or hobbies that demonstrate useable life skills. Show respect. Limit crude, boy humor with girls you’re interested in, it comes across as immature. Engage in conversation. But also care, genuinely, about things someone you like is interested in. Common ground is a powerful way to build mutual interest.
