To be fair, if I had also invested billions of dollars into AI, and if my economic future was also dependent on getting as many companies to onboard AI as quickly as possible, I'd be saying the same things about it.

When I was a middle-school kid trying to learn D&D, I just assumed the math was deliberately obtuse, to make sure that only "older kids" would be able to play it. The way I saw it, that complicated math was intended to be a rite of passage (at best), or a bar to entry (at worst). So we made...

Hit Dice are very valuable, yes...and they're not as easily restored as hit points are. Hmm.... ...well, I guess you could turn all sorts of dials to make it work the way you need: You could let the player add their Hit Dice to all damage rolls until the end of their turn. or the player add...

The one that always gets me is "I could care less" when they are trying to say "I couldn't care less."

Maybe the Blood Hunter could spend Hit Dice instead of hp? Like, once per turn (maybe as a reaction?) a BH can add one of their Hit Dice to a damage roll.

I'd say "keep it as-is," and just watch it closely. Every table is going to have a different party composition and different amounts of combat (of different difficulty), so hit points as a resource will have different weight. The Blood Hunter as-written might work pretty well for Matt Mercer...

Well yeah, I already know I'm right. We're here to talk about how you're wrong.

I mean, serious question: why would they make the product they made, using the methods they used, if they didn't intend to steal published works and avoid paying people for their work? This wasn't happenstance or coincidence, it was engineered.

People keep saying this stuff is a problem, but I get the feeling it's actually the entire point.

lol yeah, that whole "rats in the soda" thing is a myth; it's impossible without deliberate sabotage or consumer fraud. There are plenty of real reasons not to drink soda; we don't need to invent dubious ones. :cool:

It's not weird; I'm just scanning your post to see if you agreed with me yet. If I don't see words to the effect of "you're right," I have all the information I need to respond. /s

They are almost always connected to the municipal water supply, and might have a filter and/or water softener between the device and the water meter to meet the standards of the beverage company (Coca-Cola is very particular about the water their vendors are allowed to use). It then gets mixed...

There are a lot of laymen's terms for the word "Valve." I've seen them called hydrants, faucets, taps/tappers, stops/stoppers, shutoffs, bibs, stopcocks, spigots...but the technical name for "mechanical device that controls the flow of a fluid in a pipe" is a valve. Water engineers are very...

Where I grew up, if you just tell the waiter you want "a coke," they will bring you whatever carbonated beverage they carry--sometimes it's Pepsi, sometimes Dr. Pepper, sometimes Coca-Cola. They usually won't ask you to clarify unless you look like you aren't a local (maybe you're wearing an I...
