Yes, the debuff is fatigue, which is also the debuff for not sleeping. So if you’re a powergamer, you might as well just not sleep.

In Pathfinder, you need a feat to sleep in medium armor. As for heavy armor, you’re out of luck… barring homebrew or mythic campaigns.

Yeah, I learned that too. I had come up with a villain later on who had a very defense/counterattack focused stationary fighting style combined with sundering armor, and I thought I could make him a big threat, but then he ended up completely flopping because there just wasn’t support for building that style and making it strong. Now I’m playing looser, and stealing lair actions from D&D (minus the lair part most of the time) to make my loner villains work.

I think the difference is being transparent about it. This is saying “I know that shouldn’t hit, but I’m saying it hits anyways.” Traditional fudging is “That… hits, yeah, totally.”

Yeah, I’m not big on fudging rolls, but that’s one thing I will do. In my last campaign, I had statted up the first real villain for my players to fight, and they knocked him out in one punch. I would have made him one level higher, but then his own attacks would have been strong enough to one-shot some of the players. Level 1 woes.

If my players need plot armor, they can spend their hero points on it.

Adding this to my mental notes.

Unfortunately, someone once said the phrase “human filth” within a 500 ft range of the artifact and it never forgot.

In Pathfinder at least, they do have rules for spell research, and it’s easier if it’s pretty similar to a spell you already know, so “fireball but it’s 10 ft wider and does d4s” is something you could get.

Or you could use metamagic feats. Widen Spell for AoE, Elemental Spell for damage type, and other properties. Though that can get expensive.

There’s probably a feat for that in Pathfinder.

I do a thing where if someone lands a critical hit that takes a character from alive to dead*, they get a more descriptive kill based on the type of attack. A slashing attack might behead them. A cold attack could freeze them solid.

It’s Pathfinder 1e, so death is when negative HP >= constitution score (not bonus.) I don’t do it if they have room for bleedout and stabilization.

And that’s why they invented wands.

I would much rather have the NSFW tag be for what it says instead of a general “some people might not want to see this.” I don’t want to click something thinking it’s the latter and get the former. A spoiler tag may be more appropriate if we have those.

Also, this is literally just a meme about bug bites and a vampire bite. The vampire in question being Count von Count from Sesame Street.

It’s DM vs player, but the DM is trying to catch the players by surprise with the biggest punchline instead of trying to kill the PCs.

. . .

I don’t know DuckDuckGo, but what’s the purpose of trying to compete with it? This is not a rhetorical question. Is there something wrong with DuckDuckGo, something you feel you can do better, or are you just making a competitor for the principle?

I had to zoom my screen out to 50% to fit that video.

Who’s this X fellow I keep hearing about?

Huh… never thought of that. Though I think a key difference is that it’s one race diluting many races, rather than… well, in great replacement theory, it’s not even whites being diluted by other races, it’s them being replaced by way of high immigrations and low birth rates. So if it was like a large group of humans migrating into an elvish city, then yes, but this is more like the elvish country gaining a population of half elves and eventually humans around the edges.

From what I can tell in the wiki, great replacement people aren’t so much threatened by half-minorities as they are by flocks of minorities moving in until whites are the minority. It’s the culture shock, and you don’t get as much of a culture shock from someone who was raised on the edges of your culture.

Not to say you have to include human hegemony in your campaign, of course. Your campaign, your rules, and you know what your players are comfortable with more than I do.

Alternative: humans were specifically engineered to be able to half-breed with anything - even elemental beings - so that they’d be able to take over the world.
