  • The rules state that you either die or fall unconscious when you have 0 hit points. The definition of “unconscious” in Appendix A specifies that you are incapacitated AND can’t move or speak AND are unaware of your surroundings.

    EDIT: Maybe I shouldn’t assume you’re talking about 5e. I have no idea about 5.5e or any other edition



  • OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS ONE.

    I remember going back and following literally every single possible story path and never making it to the planet Ultima. And then going through page-by-page until I actually found it.

    That’s wild, this must have been about 20 years ago. Thanks for reminding me of a childhood memory.


  • Should Ruben vet the entire Lemmyverse while he’s at it so he can “dictate what appears in his product?”

    As a solo developer with limited resources, one has four choices:

    • Choose an existing ad network and do the best you can within its content preferences,

    • Put a paywall on your app’s features and hope enough people will actually buy it,

    • Work for free, sacrificing your own livelihood, or

    • Don’t develop the app.

    Clearly they all involve a compromise of one form or another, and I trust that Ruben put a lot of thought into the decision.








  • My favorite druid was a Wizard / Druid (Circle of the Land) multiclass. From a role-playing perspective I didn’t really differentiate between his wizard spells and his druid spells - he was a “hedge mage” hermit who taught himself how to work magic. He used a component pouch because that covered all the non-scarce spell components for both classes.

    From a gameplay perspective, he wasn’t very powerful because his access to higher-level spells was delayed. On the other hand, he had a WIDE variety of lower-level spells. He was able to cast most level-appropriate ritual spells from both classes, always had a utility spell ready for any situation, and Arcane Recovery + Natural Recovery meant he almost never ran out of slots. He was a good versatile caster.

    Oh, and he was a goblin who used Disguise Self to pass as a gnome whenever he visited civilization.



  • This isn’t a “news story from a credible source,” this is a blog post about a Twitter thread and it offers absolutely no context or insight.

    What is the protest about? Why is the U.S. Secret Service involved?

    The LAPD put out a statement saying they’re aware of people exercising their first amendment rights by protesting, and that they’ll be on site to ensure public safety. That seems pretty damn reasonable to me. I don’t trust the police either, but if you’re going to immediately draw a connection between this event and horrific police brutality, please give me something more substantial than “they worded a tweet awkwardly.”

    “Oniony headlines” lose their impact when they’re placed at the top of inflammatory fluff pieces.
