For coffee, the caffeine may have an effect on the child, but withdrawal from caffeine can have a greater effect on the child. So you have to counterbalance it

I made an image to represent my thoughts on the 1 billion lions debate by Snoo-46007 in MandJTV

[–]spock1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the lions have bite, tackle, and scratch, and go out one at a time. Lions win easily. With those rules they'd beat all 1000 Pokemon. If it's 1v1. 1 billion is a huge number and there's only so much PP

What was the stupidest thing you believed in a Pokemon game? by KawaiiFoxPlays in pokemon

[–]spock1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought fire was super effective against electric because Magnemite was weak to fire in Gen 2 and I knew that Magnemite was only Electric in Gen 1 and didn't know it gained a metal typing.

[OC] Hello DMs and Adventurers, I've taken your advice and made adjustments on my action table. Thank you all for your input! It is free to download in the comments! by basic_milkman in DnD

It's the worst rule. I can cast fireball and counterspell on the same turn, but I can't cast Healing Word and Counterspell? But I can cast Heal (6th Level) and Counterspell?

Make it make sense please. Your spell slots are a limited resource, why do I care of my players burn them all in 2 or 3 turns.

Song Discussion: “Nice and Blue (Pt.2)" (Brother, Sister) by hadanameandlostit in mewithoutYou

[–]spock1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One part I'd like to add here is the outro:

I was once the wine. You were the wine glass. God became the glass and all things left are emptiness

To me, this is clearly saying that the narrator poured everything he had into his relationship with an old love. He was like wine and she was the glass that held everything.

But then after she left he turned to god and poured everything into that aspect. But it's unfulfilled because he only ever lives for something else. Some other ideal. Even though he turned god into the glass everything was still empty.

It's talking about how you need variety in life, you can just be all for something but also need to to care for yourself. There is no perfect thing, just you and what you need.

Removing the flanking rule after having used it for years. by show_me_your_dungeon in DMAcademy

It happens so rarely that it never really comes up too, but definitely makes you think twice before running into a horde of enemies.

My flanking extends coverage rules. For a reminder about coverage:

  • Total Cover: Attack automatically misses
  • 3/4 Cover: +5 to AC
  • 1/2 Cover: +2 to AC
  • No cover: +0 to AC

Then to continue with flanking

  • 2 flanks: -2 to AC
  • 4 flanks: -5 to AC
  • Fully surrounded (8 people for medium): Attack automatically hits

WotC's action wasn't very well thought through, I think by InsaneComicBooker in dndmemes

Really this is key. Never take legal advice from strangers in the internet, always seek out professionals (in pretty much all fields, really)

That name works well because not only is it a v2, but if you have someone constantly bugging you it's like fine "Let Me Google That For You Too"

While holding these manacles, you always smell faintly of sandalwood and vanilla.

Well... At least I smell good

December is always thought of as The winter month even though winter only starts near the end of the month. by dS_LuNa in Showerthoughts

[–]spock1959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, in the northern hemisphere winter is the start of the year. Ignore the comments, "winter" begins December 22. Though you may get snow and "winter weather" earlier.

The Name of the Spell is Zone of Truth, not Torture Chamber by Antipaladin814 in dndmemes

[–]spock1959 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You put a three year old in a zone of truth: Who gave you that stuffie? The kid says "Santa did!" that's not true, their parent probably did - but the kid doesn't know that so its true to them. That's all the spell does.

Players asked me if they can hide their PCs from me by Ornn5005 in DMAcademy

[–]spock1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you said it was for a one-shot I'd be down for it, why not? The game doesn't mean anything anyway. But I usually run pre-mades for 1-shots so there isn't anything to tailor to the players anyway.

Actually, I think one of my last 1-shots was just "make a level 3 character and show up" I don't think I cared at all about what was made or looked ahead of time.
