@Agilo_Privett @roguecaliber That's actually impressive because IME the capcity of the DM to predict lethality is completely borked in 5e. End game bosses can die in a round or obliterate half the party in one AoE; a squad of mooks might go down to a fireball or can overrun the party. Many near TPKs.
@dark_neverland@BDaveWalters You should 100% try it. It can be a lot of fun and it's a lot easier to do than first appears.
Matt Colville has a great video on prepping your first session.
And the Alexandrian has some great advice too.
Both on Youtube.
@WorstGirlEva Can't remember where I read it but I remember reading that if you complete a game and still have all your consumables then you're playing the game on a difficulty that is lower than your skill level.
@thiseffingm@BrettKingSTEAM Does it? Does every cooperative combatent need pack tactics? Wolves do and they're just animals but goblins don't, are we to assume goblins don't know how to fight together or only fight alone?
I don't think its a stretch to assume ghouls know that other ghouls can paralyse.
@thiseffingm@BrettKingSTEAM I thought that was their whole thing? Ghouls are the first intelligent undead most parties run in to. Zombies and Skeletons are typically mindless and feral but then ghouls show up and they hunt in packs and worse, they're smart. An int of 7 and a wis of 10 isn't a dumb beast.
@LindseyMak13@bean0509@MrMcrpaninaro@PeterStefanovi2 That is a disability! An able person is not on medication for life for chronic illness.
Don't insult the disabled by making it out to be a personal failing.
You pay your taxes, you are entitled to support, it doesn't make you dependent on it, it's yours to claim.
@LindseyMak13@bean0509@MrMcrpaninaro@PeterStefanovi2 Sitting at home and rotting isn't the opposite of work. Or to put at another way, the people who aren't working aren't just sitting at home and rotting.
You should claim disability support if you are disabled, it's there to help you. You can still work if you want to.
@jammzin@bean0509@PeterStefanovi2 In order to to turn down all fakes, you will always turn own some genuine caes. There will always be overlap between the best fakers and the genuines.
So what % of genuines are you comfortable throwing under the bus to catch all the fakers.
@jammzin@bean0509@PeterStefanovi2 You have to prove that the alleged fake disabled people exist in enough numbers that it's worth harming some number of "genuine" disabled people in order to hunt down all the fakes.
That make sense?
@jammzin@bean0509@PeterStefanovi2 You're not answering my questions and instead inventing a new argument to attack, one which I did not make.
First you/they have to prove that there are a significant enough No. of "scroungers and fraudsters", that hunting them is worth it.
Worth hurting the "genuine cases" over.
@midnightoil13@bean0509@PeterStefanovi2 What makes you think they are aiming?
What makes you think they will bother even trying to differentiate between bad backs and "bad backs"?
How many disabled people are you comfortable with dying so that a few "bad backs" don't get benefits?
@jammzin@bean0509@PeterStefanovi2 Oh and how do you propose they filter the "genuine cases" from the "scroungers and fraudsters". How many millions do ou think they'll spend bothering to check? How many "genuine cases" will find early graves because they weren't genuine enough.
@littlejeff5@PeterStefanovi2 The big problem is the idea that its somehow moral for people to transition from benefits to work. The disabled don't become abled once they get a job, they are still disabled and need extra support to function.
@TiaanNicholas@PeterStefanovi2 It's not the benefits that make them feel less valued. It's the hostile judgement of busybodies who think that people on benefits are less valuable.
@Shados9611 @Coolio_Art Because that's not the lesson of Jurassic Park. Instead it's about the problems of trying to control the unknown and unpredictable and the hubris of thinking that just because you made something means you can control it.
