Ambiguously Gendered Return of 'What is the Hivemind?'

[DungeonmasterCal]

I don't like summer. I grew up on a farm, and once we sold it, I was determined to avoid summer time activity the rest of my life. I hate the heat and humidity of a southern summer. Give me a cloudy day in late autumn any time.

Then why are you in Arkansas?

 

[Rystil Arden]

I think that +7 is by spending only 4 skill points, and only 1 in the correct skill.

Bront is correct. Lasair's Diplomacy will rise from +9 at level 1 to +16 at level 2

 

[DungeonmasterCal]

Then why are you in Arkansas?

Because it's home. With the exception of one year in St. Louis, I've lived here all my life. All my friends and family are here, and I really don't want to uproot my son and move somewhere just for the sake of cooler weather.

I realize, but if you hadn't maxed out Diplomacy before, it could jump by more than +7.

 

[Kemrain]

Well, I like cooler weather -- I'd prefer 40s-50s all year round -- but I can stand temperatures of up to 90 without complaining.

Not as resistant as some comdoms? Could you explain that one to me?

That's a very good reason. There wasn't ever a time you would've considered moving more seriously? Before your son was born? If so, would you have in retrospect?

Hey, those things have to take a bit of heat due to friction!

Well ya, but the point is that the maximum goes up massively at level 2 vis-a-vis level 1
