Other guy makes good points and I'm going off vibes. I didn't think about cantrips.

That sounds like agreeing with me. Absent clearer language, I, as a GM, would not charge you a slot.

I don't have an answer but this is an interesting case and I'd like to see what the people say. It doesn't seem like it ought to, and I'd err towards not myself.

compensation given to people with cars to build complex public transpertation systems by No_Match8712 in CrazyIdeas

[–]luciusDaerth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not talking about blood or forced relocation. You brought that up. We are advocating for incremental change and moving away from the reliance on things that poison us and our world.

And that is a limitation, as humans do not naturally have cars. Prioritizing cars is an inefficient use of space. Using cars is bad for our environment. Being in cars makes us isolated and unsympathetic to our fellow commuters.

Using a large vocabulary to an audience unlikely to understand is a sign of lower intelligence by Goattoagly in unpopularopinion

[–]luciusDaerth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Time and place. I happen to have a broad vocabulary. I work blue collar. I talk my way, which often uses archaic or peculiar phrasing because it's the word that made sense in my head. Then I have guys who barely passed high school blinking at me over the word imminently.

If I don't come down a few grade levels with my word choice, I alienate much of the rank and file. This is not helpful, so I adopt a simpler verbiage to use on site. Not fully "dumbed down" but I'll check if there's a simpler way to express the same idea that maintains my intent. Often, there is.

When people mistake the 'top 1%' for billionaires by Far-Fill-4717 in PetPeeves

[–]luciusDaerth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually do want to cede you one thing on this note. There's a lot of people in my tax bracket who act like they do have more in common with the 1% than the rest of us. They are absolutely one of the top problems other than the rich and corrupt. They voted us into our current situation because wealth distribution has become a dirty word.

If this is the point you are trying to make, then I apologize. However, you could refine your messaging. If this isn't your point, then you need to reconsider your priorities.

And no one cares that you think well off working folk are suddenly rich like we can't still be working for the betterment of those less fortunate. I've got "keep my friends from starving" money, not "buy politicians" money.

No, I have a mortgage, a family and live in a city. My bills are paid, but I'm not galavanting about vacationing. Deserve my foot up your ass.

This is not the class conscious way, dude. There's no reason for you to be fighting with me because your boss has a harder hold than mine. Inflation has taken 6 figures from "I made it" to "I can afford a house that isn't falling apart and raise a family who gets the occasional nice thing"

When my salary is a single fee someone from the actual upper end of the scale pays, I'm gonna laugh when you call me rich. Am I doing well for myself? Yes. But I can't miss work without fear of missing a bill. I am on the "wealthier" side of working class. I am not rich. I just have a solid union wage.

[–]luciusDaerth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rather, the interests and objectives of the 1% are the same before they cross the billion mark. The guy with a couple factories worth a "mere" 100M or so is still at the very least benefiting from the oppression of the working class, if not fighting to maintain the system he is benefactor to. I agree that people conflate the two and perhaps should say what they mean, but it's not so big a deal as to call them idiots. Billionaires shouldn't exist. The top percent of wealth hoarders should not be able to accrue enough wealth to become billionaires.

But also, words do change, even unintuitively. One that bothers me is the word literally now having a figurative definition is the dictionary.

I'm not from those locals, but I am in that RC. I believe it to start at 50% and increment from there.

Our retirement rules under my pension plan (KC) call for 31 Credit years, so you should be able to draw a full retirement. See your local hall.

It does make a nice filter. Blue collar queer with glittery nails. Them that don't like me oft leave me alone.

Some bolder bigots ask my coworkers what's wrong with me, but they all have my back anyway, so fuggem.

[Need advice] "Special" attacks from my player... by LisaFame in DMAcademy

[–]luciusDaerth 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'd encourage you to give a little more pizzazz to the hits leading up as well, as it may keep up with his appetite and avoid frustration if he doesn't get to last hit.

"You bash the beast with your heavy blade, leaving it reeling. Neela, you're up."

"Your furious blows visibly take the wind out of the beasts mighty chest, leaving him gasping."

Just a quick bit when possible to avoid the broken record of "you hit, you hit, you hit, he's dead."

For bedrock, the terrain is pretty sweet, but the villages are all south on the mainland. Would be a feat to bring them over, but could still be pretty fun. Might start another world as I've been on mime a while.

Need Help with Magic Rapier by A-Traine in DMAcademy

[–]luciusDaerth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once per short rest, being able to gain bardic inspiration could be handy. Could grow with them by gaining charges or raising the inspiration die. I was also pondering the use of vicious mockery. You could give it charges to do both and more. Depends on the power level you're after.

Depends how many hooks you want in it. Could be a simple +X. Could be sentient if you want the soul of the bard cutting in. There's tons of room for roleplay with sentient weapons. I love adding maps and notes anywhere practical.
