The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Thomas Shey]

It would explain a lot of the ridiculous hot takes, bad faith arguments, and clearly intentional misreading of others’ posts.

Some of those require a bit too much coherent thought for drunkenness to explain it.

Commenting here because I don't think it's worth a thread.

A concept: a lawful chaotic paladin. He is in service of a great lawful power in the struggle against chaos. However his moral compass and all his tactics are chaotic in nature. He is destructive, only uses inverted spells, he don't see laws as limitations, just speedbumps between him and the objectives assigned to him. He is constantly infuriating the entity above who gives him power, losing his powers and atoning to regain it. But he always gets the job done. And his name is Bond, James Bond.

(Just rewatched Cassino Royale with my girlfriend and got in a debate about if Bond is chaotic or lawful)

In a world where LG is still a requirement for Paladins, I'd be on board with this somehow being an alignment.

This is basically the role of the Operative in Serenity. The only difference is that the Operative is self aware of the cognitive dissonance.

so, it's been a while but does D&D even have stats for individual pieces of armor? I think GURPS does in one of the books

Back in the old (poorly named) "Oriental Adventures" 1e days, they broke down what was essentially Japanese armour into its component pieces. You could build the armour you were wearing based on those components, to yield a total AC. That's the only time I can recall that being done.

I like to think that if you're wearing a full plate armor in 5e you can convert it on a half plate or a breastplate unattaching some pieces.

Right right, the authors have nothing to do with it.

There was also piecemeal armor rules in some 2E book. I forget which one. Maybe the complete gladiator's or fighter's book. I don't remember where, but I remember using it.
