Continuing the discussion from The Backup Likes Thread - Because it's not the same:
@abarker said:@HardwareGeek said:@Luhmann said:This doesn't feel the same ... I'm continuously forgetting to like here ...I'm not forgetting; I'm protesting the ex post facto imposition of the rule in this topic.
Are you saying that we should start yet another likes thread with the rule baked in from the start?
Because I can do that.
Because the Original Likes thread has been put on the step, and @HardwareGeek and @Luhmann don't like the Backup Likes Thread, we now present the Backup Backup Likes thread.
This thread has only three rules:
If you can abide by those rules, then welcome! If not, then GTFO.
@accalia said:what if you can abide by the rules but choose not to?Then we'll create the backup backup backup likes thread!
Good point! Nothing stops us from trying over and over and over and over and over and over and over …
Reminds me of a shirt I got when I went to Austria in high school:
I got so many weird looks when I got back, and a few people came up and tried to correct me.
what if you can abide by the rules but choose not to?
Oy! I think that fits under the "If not" portion.
Why is called hanzo?
Has to do with some stories from the front page. Details are provided in the Discopædia.
This thread now referenced by the topicalize definition.

Point of order! Those appear to be otters, not prairie dogs.

I'm kind of nervous about the surprise turn my campaign took this weekend.
We went to investigate a burning wreck that fell from the sky. Took out a couple carrion crawlers, a flesh golem, some gnome squidlings, and some gnome ceremorphs. Then, on our way to the town we were originally headed to, we were attacked by an invisible stalker.
We finally got to where we could take a long rest, and lucked out to get a undisturbed night's rest. As we were packing up in the morning, my cleric/warlock's sword started vibrating in it's sheath. Looking up, she saw Acererack approaching. This is problematic as he's the patron for my character's warlock husband and he doesn't like my character. Not only that, but he is currently embroiled in a patron war. As Acererack was talking to our party, my character started hearing this ringing sound. When she asked if anyone else heard it, Acererack said he did. He then ordered my character's husband to kill her. At that, my character started glowing, getting larger, growing wings, etc. The party wizard did an arcana check and determined that my character now was on par with a minor diety (the DM said my character was now effectively a CR20). As my character felt a growing urge to attack Acererack, the session ended.
I think my survival next session might depend on what my character's husband decides to do. It would probably also help if the rest of the party lends me a hand, but there's a very good chance my character will die next session.
Well, shit. Apparently, at least the end of that last session was a group dream. We're not certain how much of last session was a dream because we didn't take a long rest at any point. At least a couple people heard voices from thier dieties indicating that the dream will happen before the dream ended, so I'm still hoping to get to play out that fight.
Yeah, so much for the dream being prophetic.
We were working on clearing a group of duergar who were corrupted by some cursed chardalyn out of a fortress in the mountains. We got the first floor taken care of and moved to the lower level. Since we hadn't rested after clearing the first floor, my cleric was nearly out of spell slots, and had no slots available for AOE attacks after the first couple fights in the lower levels.
The last fight had been in a room that only had one entrance, so I asked for a long rest, making my situation clear. The group decided we could only spare a short rest. The wizard ritual cast a Tiny Hut, and we rested for an hour.
Then we made it to the forge.
In the forge were about a dozen typical duergar, and a half dozen quaggoth, plus the BBEG that we needed to take out. In the slug fest, we were able to take out the BBEG, but then our wizard dropped. Before anyone could react, a quaggoth hit her a couple times, and she was dead. In the same turn, my cleric's husband was slain. My cleric did not react well, partly due to grief and partly because she had 4 HP with 3 quaggoth in range. She got off a couple revenge shots, and then she was gone.
The remaining two team members were not actively engaged, so they were able to run, but the campaign was over. No way were we going to try and incorporate 3 brand new characters.
Afterward, I reiterated that we should have taken a long rest so I could have had my spell slots. One of the other players said he didn't realize my slots were so low. Another player pointed out that I had said I needed the long rest because my slots were low, but whatever. Next time, if I think I need a long rest, I'm staying in the Tiny Hut with the wizard

But what if your tesla will run out of battery before reaching a cliff?
If no cliff is within range, the battery will ignite.
How do you know if you are being punished for failing to laugh with sufficient enthusiasm at Elon's joke or it's just routine Tesla spontaneous combustion?
If you survive, then it must just be routine.

How do you pronounce ‘bologna’ so it rhymes with ‘pony’? I don't, but I might be spoiled by knowing the Italian pronunciation (which means with ɲ (ñ, ň) that I think English does not have)
I have never heard anyone use that "American" pronunciation. Who the frack did they get to come up with that?
@Gribnit It's not just him. Our group has some interesting dynamics that make me uncertain how some of them will respond to the situation. That, and he mentioned that this version of Acererack is a CR23. He also hasn't given me the full stats and abilities for my character's current form, so I have no idea how to approach the fight.

Unfortunately, that guy then had to run back over the trigger to get out of the dead-end that was the living quarters. So our bard cast Leomund's Hut again, this time in the middle of the hallway. And it worked! Blocked the boulder and everything. But the bard has to stay inside the Hut, or else it disappears. So there he was... in the middle of a hallway... with an invisible force shield blocking a boulder from smashing him in the face. And if he got 20 feet away from the boulder, the force shield would disappear, leaving an angry boulder for him to deal with. But hey, at least he's killed its momentum, right? Even if he fails, it should be rolling slower?
Leomund's Tiny Hut (also available as just Tiny Hut) can be ritual cast and lasts 8 hours at a time. He could have simply moved to the edge of the existing tiny hut and redone the ritual cast until he got past the reset point.

In a campaign I'm playing with friends, I'm working on obtaining a pet owlbear. Just need to wait for it to be weaned.
Your DM. Do they seem to like you?
Most of the time.
Giving you an owlbear is probably not one of those times.
If it turns on me, my party will make short work of it. We've got 5 level 6 characters.
