Full-speed movement while grappling is really, really strong. DMs, don’t set any fights on cliffs if any of your players take this feat.

People seem to be pretty ok with it in this thread, but I’m with OP on this one. The 2024 Grappler feat is very strong, and on monks in particular it’s insane. We can quibble all day as to what constitutes being “mandatory,” but I would say playing a monk and not taking Grappler is suboptimal.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, that’s obviously just a normal little girl.

Well yeah, it was pre-covid. That’s a major world event that I think very reasonably marks an era transition.

I was trying to make a joke, but evidently it didn’t land. You are absolutely correct though.

Yeah, I was just trying to be funny

Well, based on what we’re seeing in the Epstein files…

To be fair about the 10 years to mars thing, we absolutely could get to mars with about 10 years of dedicated effort. It’s just that there is no political incentive driving such a long-term efforts. On the other hand, with the US having (apparently) decided to gamble our entire economy on being...

It’s owned by a game company that is owned by a failing toy company.

No, you’re absolutely right. Space data centers and lunar solar farms are terrible ideas, which is obvious to anyone who actually knows anything about space. Unfortunately, most people don’t know anything about space, and due to the aforementioned “AI makes you dumber” problem, a lot of people...

But if it’s generated by AI, does that make it a perpetrator-less crime?

I was trying to avoid saying that directly due to the forum rules, but it is true. Haha, fair point!

My comment was emotionally motivated and not helpful, sorry. To address water use and carbon output more seriously, you’re right that individual use of text or image generators is not really a significant factor. As with most things, it’s at the industrial scale that it becomes a serious...

Yeah, sorry for that comment. I edited it to delete it right away, but I guess you must have seen it in the brief window it was up. It was ill-conceived and not helpful for the conversation.

That’s the thing, AI is making all of us dumber. Your brain isn’t literally a muscle, but it is very much like a muscle in that it needs regular challenge not just to grow, but to avoid getting weaker. Everyone who doesn’t incessantly use AI can see it in that one guy at the office who uses it...

never mind, this post wouldn’t have benefited anyone

I have a much easier time believing that Chris Cocks and all of his “friends” use AI in everything they do than I have believing any of them actually play D&D. He’s a business executive. Those people are obsessed with AI.

I imagine it’s a lot of people’s bosses. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more AI folks in upper management at the museum, because AI seems to appeal more to people in positions of power. But at least among my team there’s just the one. Turns out most, but not all, science educators...

Did it, though? The work you’d have to do reading the summary, finding the parts it got wrong, and re-writing them probably isn’t significantly less than the time it would have taken you to just write the summary yourself, and for whatever time it may have saved it will be a lower quality product.

The one guy at my workplace who’s weirdly pro-AI (there’s always one, in there?) made a PowerPoint for a session during our team’s annual professional development summit last year… In his defense it was closer to 10 slides than 100, but every one of them had obviously AI generated art, and I was...
