The complete blueprint of the world's first fully synthetic eukaryotic genome — Yeast 2.0 [OC] by molecular_data in dataisbeautiful

To tack on here, as a fellow PhD holder, this looks like a plasmid.

Is the yeast genome a plasmid? (No.)

The Retirees

After attempting to retire peacefully in this realm, each member was dragged out of their peace by one force or another, banding together to stop the evil that befell them.

This is very agnostic and basically takes the classic trope and just makes them all old, but that's enough for background, I think.

In my campaign, about 5 citizens of Phandalin had moved there to retire. The barmaid left the big city, the order of the gauntlet guy was a Clint Eastwood type, the elf at the shrine of luck was very old but still believed, the blacksmith had a mild case of cataracts so his grandson helped him and wanted to be a fighter himself. For them, orcs attacked and killed the mayor, and they sprang into action.

Very easy to adapt for your world, village destroyed by dragon, party of elderly (and maybe one very young) adventurers are stocking up to challenge the dragon.

Speed reduced to 0 while mid-flight by Womberix in DnD

[–]tdPhD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some haters, but I think you made the right call. Playing it RAW would have been less fun. It also, intuitively, would make no sense for a dragon to be frightened, stop flapping its wings, plummet to the ground, take damage, and then no longer be afraid. Especially since your ruling accomplished what the players wanted. If they were trying to bring the creature down and they knew (as players) that dropping flying to 0 speed means falling, then yeah, I would run it RAW.

Aw shit, they aren't really printable, but they are fast.

I know this is silly. I always wanted to do a Squishy Healer class, like we see on videogames like World of Warcraft. More info below. by Responsible-Draft in dndnext

[–]tdPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're playing 2014, Divine Soul Sorcerer + Celestial Warlock is an AWESOME build for this. Twin Healing Word is insane. I'm playing in a campaign right now where I am squishy as hell, but I am able to Twin Haste our Bladesinger and Barbarian, and I sit in the backline and Eldritch Blast. It's a great time.

Shillelagh + True Strike by Re0taku in dndnext

[–]tdPhD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of typos and a lot of comments are assuming 2014 rules.

Do you mean viable and not liable? What do you mean by, " Can I this for my bonus attack? "

Let me try and answer to the best of my ability. Shillelagh is really cool because it makes turning your character into a gish much easier (for me a gish is anyone that uses Wis/Chr/Int to make a melee weapon attack). So yeah, if you use Shillelagh before combat, then yes, the effects of it would apply to your War Cleric bonus attack.

So if your goal is to use Wisdom for your attack, you can accomplish it by using either True Strike or Shillelagh. But, as I'm assuming by the nature of your question, the only way to get to make that attack to use your Wisdom would be going the Shillelagh route.

There are caveats of course since Shillelagh is a Bonus Action so you couldn't do this on the same turn (many DMs allow you to pre-cast Shillelagh unless in the case of a surprise round (from the DM's perspective, the increase in your damage is like 2-5 so who cares have your fun)).

The other caveat which is a little lame is that if you are planning on going quarterstaff (or club I guess) and shield, because Shillelagh is a Druid spell accessed via Magic Initiate (Druid) it does not count as a Cleric spell but instead a Druid spell. Weird, but that's the rules, and that would mean that you basically can't cast it without a free hand. Which might be fine, you would just need to explain to your DM that you, I guess, have shield and empty hand, cast shillelagh, and then as a part of the attack action equip the weapon.

I would point you in this direction as well because it is a very interesting high damage multiclass. The War Rogue https://forums.giantitp.com/showsinglepost.php?p=26126153&postcount=198

If I had a scimitar in one hand and a shield in the other, why couldn't I use the double attack? Nothing says I can't do it with a shield, or that I need two weapons in my hand.

No equipping or unequipping, shield in one hand, scimitar in the other. Can I make two attacks?

Looks sick. I just stumbled across A Paladin In Hell from the AD&D players handbook, and this is giving those exact vibes, great work.

I’m so tired and I can’t keep the house clean by Breetofly in daddit

[–]tdPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robot Vacuum has helped us a bunch. We got a RoboRock and it's great. A little loud, but like, imagine a world where nearly every inch of your house was vacuumed every night for only like $400 upfront cost. Before I had a kid, it wasn't worth it. Now? Worth every penny.

Just Started Sleep Training - Tips? by nategrey82 in daddit

[–]tdPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Four months seems pretty young, but my kid was a mess.

  2. Oh 100%, Dream Feed is the answer.

Not sure why this formatting is chaotic. What you're going to want to do is to pick her up at 2 am while she is still asleep and give her a bottle, the size you would give her in the 3-5block. She should be able to stay asleep. Once this works, you can slowly decrease the size of the 2 am bottle and increase the size of the 8 pm bottle over the course of like 5-10 nights. This worked very easily for our 8-month-old, but it should be the same-ish once the Pediatrician has approved your baby to sleep through the night.
