But you're not balancing the game. You're not adding a powerful BBEG. You're putting a GOD in their path specifically to threaten the players into submission, even goading the players into action with that little "try it, bitch". You're showing the exact same antagonism, desrespect for the world and propensity for violence as the players are. I don't care who did it first.

Just fucking talk to them. Like people do. Say "hey, maybe turn down the murdurhoboing?" instead of jumping to killing them. It's the DM's job to mediate the game and solve disputes as they arise so everyone has fun. Do your fucking job.

Edit: It's always funny how unreasonably upset people get when you suggest talking through problems in a game played entirely through talking.

Is that not just the DM equivelant of being a murder hobo?

Ever seen Interspecies Reviewers? This comes up. There are fun, sexy things you can do that aren't just putting dick into hole.

Yeah, exactly. It's not someone dodging a lot, but someone asking a lot that's abnormal.

Fun fact: That's just an average amount of question dodging. Paxman had to stall for time and realised he could just stretch it out by getting the guy to actually answer the question.

He wasn't going to be any MORE nuts. Everyone knew he was a crackpot who hated women, and it was heretical for him to claim anyone but God could grant anyone powers. I make sure to do it in front of people and there's suddenly an audience to see him be condemned by a divine agent. If they try to say it was anything else, they're heretical too.

At the very least, it can't get WORSE.

The first time Heinrich Kramer tries to show someone the Malleus Maleficarum, I appear directly in front of him and set the book on fire. Not only is the book destroyed, but a clearly supernatural event took place to put the fear of god into him. Bam. No witch trials.

This entire post is people trying to debate game mechanics using real world violence. I'm pointing out they're doing it badly.

And yes, PCs are superhuman to a degree. That's why they have much higher ability scores and, in the case of the barbarian, a bonus to damage while raging. And when they do an unarmed attack, it deals 1 + Strength (+2 for Rage). For a commoner, that's 1 or 2 points of damage. For a level 1 barbarian, that's around 6 points. 1d4 + mods doesn't make sense and 1d6 is right out.

I suggested a bear because it has twice as much health as a commoner, so there's more space to measure. A .22 rifle can kill a bear, but it might take a few shots because of a low damage roll. And it's a fuck ton more likely to kill it than just biting it. 1 point of damage isn't a small amount. We just don't want to measure anything smaller.

In either case, he'd have fallen unconscious first. If he did, then sure, but otherwise... And it still wouldn't mean it was 1d6+Strength, because you can still roll high on a d4.

Bite a bear and get back to me. That'll be a better metric.

If a common human can survive it, it dealt less than 4 damage. And unless you're a monk, tavern brawler or some race that adds a bite attack, that's an unarmed attack and only deals 1+Strength damage.

All humans, no. Some humans, yes. They're obviously part of category B.

How does Trevor count as one of the four? When was he in a group with four members? He briefly acted like a part of the main group, but that gave it five members, not four.

It was a link to the nintendo site, but I copied it from facebook and some garbage got added. Cleaned up now

If we have the non-D&D games to play instead, it's WAY more than 50. Even if you just narrow it down to "like D&D but slightly different", there's a fuck ton of them.

Be careful with that reasoning. If vampires only drink blood for the life force connected to it, it's only a short jump to cum vampires.

That's how I first heard of it, and it really helped me memorise the full thing when saying it. The challenge is not doing the pause between the Shuringans or staggering the Chosuke.

There's a classic Japanese story about a boy called Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no Burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no Shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopii-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke. That's all the first name. No nicknames allowed.

It's only pronounced that way because he's a dick's son.

The movie doesn't actually show if she was asleep or not when Donkey first encountered her. She had her eyes closed and then opened it very quickly, immediately pulling back and breathing fire at him as he fled. She was pissed at him.
