Yup, making them related without removing any of the subtext. So they went from being lesbians to being incestuous lesbians.

The kind of code an idiot would put on their luggage.

Something I came across after having to have glass removed from my hand: there’s no specific term for a doctor that specializes in hands.

And the obligatory response to the “tomato-based fruit salad” response: “found the bard!”

Goodbye.

While endangering a string of orphan boys who you keep dressing up in tight green booty shorts… for reasons.

R’amen.

Personally a fan of the Sonic Screwdriver, because I like my drinks like I like my ladies: sweet, bubbly, geeky as hell, and able to knock my ass out.

2 parts Sprite

2 parts orange juice

1 part vanilla vodka

1 part Blue Curaçao

Combine and serve in a highball glass on the rocks.

The short version is “that’s not how Reverse Mountain works.”

The long version is that Reverse Mountain pulls in from the four Blue Seas and spits you out in Paradise (the first half of the Grand Line). Even if you could sail backwards through Reverse Mountain (you can’t, the water flow is insanely fast), you’d just end up back in one of the four Blue Seas.

Also, the One Piece isn’t “at the end of the Grand Line”, it’s on Laugh Tale, an island located somewhere in the New World (the second half of the Grand Line) that can only be located using the four Road Poneglyphs. Even if you did end up taking a shortcut to the New World, you still couldn’t find Laugh Tale without the Poneglyphs.

Which is a bit fucking overkill given that the level cap in game is 12.

That’s been your thing since 3e, ya damn whippersnappers! 👴-old Wizards

The Gamers (the original one) made the same joke. Also, available for free on YouTube.

You might be interested in “rolling with emphasis”, a house rule by Brandon Lee Mulligan. Rather than rolling twice and taking the best/worst result, you take the result furthest from 10. Designed for actions that can only end really well or really badly.

I’ve best heard it described as “a rogue and a bard who can only seem to roll Nat 20s and Nat 1s”.

You just described the original Jak trilogy.

Played by Khary Patyon, aka the voice of Cyborg for the last two decades.

I had the idea for some Don Quixote style story where your average isekai fanboy gets summoned to another world, and it’s the job of a member of the royal guard to protect this guy. The fanboy is a delusional, socially inept, weak lech who is convinced he’s the main character of an eroge, and the knight (the actual protagonist) has to try and keep this idiot from getting himself killed (like explaining that peeping on the princess while she’s bathing would most likely result in execution, not a “meet-cute”). Hijinks ensue.

What I mean is that remembering stuff (like what someone casting a fireball looks like) is what 3rd edition would call a Free Action, like talking. You can do it as much as you like (that can reasonably fit into six seconds) at any time during the turn, and it doesn’t take up any resources (like your reaction). Even though you’re rolling a check, it isn’t using part of your turn.

If it did take a reaction to identify a spell as it’s being cast, that would mean that remembering something would take the same about of time and energy as an opportunity attack.

Recalling information never requires an action, the check is just there to determine if you know something or not.
