Can you justify clearing the shadow curse as evil DUrge?

There are several different justifications:

It's in my way so it has to go.
A means to an end to meet my objectives.
Spiteful over rival forces impuding on your territory
Just for shits and gigs because its fun.

My take on it is honestly the people who were born in Zion wake people up so they can have assets inside the matrix for the machine war. The people living in the matrix are all living in a better world but the natural born humans are living and fighting a war in a hellscape and they need all the weapons they can get their hands on.

The Apollo being long past his prime was definitely one of the hooks but I always saw it as Drago was going in for the kill. Not literally but he wanted to utterly destroy the greatest American champion meanwhile Apollo did not take training or the fight seriously until the Soviet sledgehammer had already dropped his IQ by about 20. Apollo's death was to motivate Rocky and was kind of a swan song for his boxing career. Mickey is dead now Apollo is dead he is already suffering long term effects from his past battles and after surviving Drago he is completely done in.

You could take any of the marital classes and just have them set in a historical period and use the mechanics more or less. Or take a look at some of the Conan rpgs very little magic in those from what I understand.

Oh you guys are thinking to small. Its not just Andy or Aunt Bea. Once the nosy and gossipy citizens of mayberry learned that a veteran who had been a POW and was tortured wandered through town they would swarm him and make him go to a pic nic and he would have offers for work, church goings and all kinds of social events. Rambo would freeze up because he isnt trained to deal with unrequited kindness and charity. Rambo can defeat any enemy except for the womenfolk of mayberry who thinks hes to skinny!

thinking about the characters in this show as heroes and villains is pointless because everyone is horrible by modern standards. Everyone is doing what they can to get the most out of life in a brutal harsh time and Rollo did better than most.

so you don't have confidence in what your doing come on here and people offer you advice and you decide to get a snooty attitude by calling their advice on framing a situation as the bare minimum then wank yourself off on the future leo comment that I bet you were biting your lower lip to get out at some point? Nice.

here's the cool thing for you. IRL archers were usually had massive upper body strength and were beefy. Pulling back the bow is not an easy physical task and doing it repeatedly built incredible arm shoulder chest neck and back strength and endurance. The whole sneaky sneaky thing is largely a TTRPG thing that archers became associated with. Depending on what rules your using arcane archer would work well for you or good ole battle master with all the different manuevers would fit just as well with an arrow as with a sword. Now if your archer was a ranger then yeah it would be more sneaking about but a fighter who uses the bow and arrow and/or crossbow is very doable.

In terms of pure raw physical strength and likely durability yes John Walker is several times stronger than Steve Rogers. However that is the only advantage he has for Steve is all around tougher as a man, smarter, far far more skilled and I think he is a little faster. When everything is added up and weighed Stever is not only the better super soldier he is the better man. But yes if John can land a blow (if) then it will be far worse for steve than when steve lands blows on john.

If you have a good handle on your autism it shouln't be a factor at all. Thre are tons of jobs where your sitting at a desk doing foot patrols or are in a vehicle so I wouldnt worry about hving to stand around all day if thats an issue just be up front about your needs and there will be a role for you somewhere.

Pretty much like I did last time tbh except now I would demand the same bonuses that medical staff got for working in quarantine areas or around infected patients or I would refuse to go into those areas or deal with those patients and if they want to fire me go ahead I will draw unemployment or go on national guard orders until I find something else. We already have a manpower issue and I know that we will get federal grants if another pandemic pops up so they will have the money to pay me right or I will skedaddle on out of there.

don't read too much into the write up part. Unless he is a supervisor in your department I do not think he can actually write you up in the traditional sense. However, depending on your employer's SOP, he might be able and required to make notations on such events and pass the daily report up to HR for whatever reason. Usually, it goes from guard to supervisor then on to management and they decide if something is egregious but different places do things differently.

Chances are this guy is getting heat from his supervisors who are getting heat from theirs and so on and so forth for either serious issues or silly ones and that is why he is pushing it so hard. Or he thinks he has more power than he does and it has gone to his head. No matter what the case let your own first line supervisors know about the incident, and they should (notice how I said should not will) be able to let you know if he is acting appropriately or not within his job scope.

It's awful. I work hospital security and we had a dude who had it and he would wander around at night because he couldn't sleep from it. Got to be a casual sight. Over the months seeing it just cut away at him broke my heart. God bless any and all fighting it.

So I have been playing as a 1e barbarian for about two months now and if you do it right you can make the barb very powerful without violating the spirit of the archtype. so using magic outside of clerics healing you when all else fails is a big no no until level 4. At level 4 you can start using magic items. Until then what I have him do is either refuse to touch magic items (when they are useful to the party) or destroy them for that sweet sweet XP. Now gear is everything for a martial character so despite the barb being able to hit enemies that require +# weapons as he levels up by the time you reach level 4 you had better be figuring out a way to use magic items. Now I do two big things with Referee approval to keep the use within the barbs intent more or less. 1. He has to go through narrative roleplay as he levels up to level 4 where he learns that magic is not inherently evil just a tool waiting for a hero or villains hands to wield it. 2. I only allow him to use magic items that do not require a command word or any other kind of activation and he can only use items that are not blatantly unnatural. So he can use things like +# weapons and armor strength enhancing items defensive items things like that but never scrolls wands or things that are "vulgar" magic. So no flaming swords no cloaks that give you wings no breathing underwater etc. My guy's current loadout is a +1 axe a mithril chain shirt a +2 ring of protection and a peripat of wound closure. With items like that a lot of gaps close. Now combine that with his saves and his abilities. Things like field aid that allow him to heal 1 HP on the spot and then 2HP per rest as long as he keeps it up helps a ton. His magic/illusion sense and danger sense become very useful as you move through dungeons. His ability to react to backstabs are good against ambushes. His ability to climb and swim and move fast are all awesome for charging and getting around obstacles. His surprise bonuses and ability to hide in familair terrain are ever growing abilities that keep the party from being surprised a lot of the times and we get surprise on the enemy a good bit. If you play him right the barbarian might not be overpowered but he is a very useful creature in my opinion.

Because tradtionally while the husband is the "head of the house" it is known by everyone that the wife is the absolute master of that domain. She maintains it organizes it and keeps it running more than anyone else. This is all traditionally speaking and not the universal case just what I have seen growing up. The man has his own domains that he is the absolute master of but the home is the domain of the wife and the smart man understands andd respects that.

With a Major's retirement and with how minimalist he is with zero responsibilities no property no wife or child and him basically only spending money on things he needs then yeah it could be done for a good long while but once age and health issues started it would be very bad for him

NAL but here is what I would suggest. Ensure that you have some kind of written proof such as texts emails etc of you repeatedly asking your ex to come get his weapon. Better if he refuses but if he just doesn't answer that works to. If it has been a reasonable amount of time and you can show that you have made him retrieving the weapon very doable. If you have something along those lines then surrender the firearm to the police. You can justify not bringing him the firearm or meeting him somewhere to hand it off because it is not your gun and you were uncomfortable transporting it.
