in 3e, summon spells specifically conjured the spirits of creatures that couldnt "die" per se. They would desummon if they lost all their HP and reform later.

i mean, there were plenty of other ways, including things you could do at lower level, that was just the common go to because it required a single high level spell, and usually you fought big T at high level.

the usual go to back in the day was to drown it, because it wasnt immune to that in any way. Simply gate it to the plane of water. There was a number of other work arounds like that too.

i can also confirm that the tarrasque was pretty universally clowned on for being easy in 3.5e. That discussion is basically what drove the whole "town built around the tarrasque" idea on the wizard forums and enworld. That said, it's probably not as bad as the 5e tarrasque by comparison

I guess that would just be a GPU?

Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They're purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.

the new 2024 rules allow for this. All half races/species have been removed, and instead you get to mix and match any two you want.

Finally, a true d&d killer has arrived

No joke, the color actually matters.

Those graphs are from anydice. I'm not familiar with dice.run, but anydice has been around a long time (15+ years at this point) and is what most people i'm aware of use for comparing dice stats. It can be a little confusing to use, but its pretty good.

but this meme predates youtube, though...

I mean, realistically, it sounds like you're just asking for the older version of D&D stat rolling - roll 3d6. It results in a lower array, more centered around 12, but still has the chance for both low and high stats at much more rare odds.

3d6 probability:

I'm also a developer, just been too busy to look at it.

But here's the issue: https://github.com/Fedihosting-Foundation/plemmy/issues/39

There was a new field added (visibility) that links to another object (https://join-lemmy.org/api/types/CommunityVisibility.html), but this is only for one of the calls it makes, i don't know if there's other calls that need to be updated as well to get it fully working.

Edit: from plemmy, the bot uses the following calls:

LemmyHttp.get_community()

plemmy.responses.GetCommunityResponse()

LemmyHttp.create_post()

plemmy.responses.PostResponse()

yeah, the API library the bot uses to connect to the lemmy API broke when the contract changed in the upgrade to 19.5; I logged an issue on the github for the api, but it hasnt gone anywhere, so i doubt the repo is being actively maintained. I haven't had a chance to really dig into it myself, but if it doesnt go somewhere soon, i might have to see if i can fix it up.

I mean, thats honestly going to be a thing that happens whenever some people get into something new through a different medium, really. Warped expectations are a thing. We've been dealing with it for decades with people who come to D&D/TTRPGs from video games, and expect the in game NPCs to act like theyre from skyrim or something. It's honestly not that much different, only with a different set of preconceived notions.

no, iowa is not included in notepad.

Dominance*

**- if you ignore the actual dominant party*

You basically just described kanban.

to be fair, nintendo set that standard before both microsoft and sony were even in the console gaming space.

It still blows my mind how she could defend turning down federal funding for free lunches for school children. Like, the federal dollars were already allocated, turning it down does nothing but route that money elsewhere for the same purpose, why not help starving children in your state?!

Tux Racer go brrrr
