Reminds me of the Palladium monk occupation. Strictly about dodging and the point was monks did NOT attack or fight. Striking an opponent meant being defrocked and losing monk status. I thought it was a neat take (and a direct response to the DnD monk trope.)
Pure dialogue and skill class. Never got a Palladium campaign really going though. Just a sea of worldbuilding.
I don’t really know 5e very well, nor PF, but monks were always kind of an awkward fit in 3.5 too. From what I understand the redesign put then closer to an old 3.5 prestige class with the ki strikes and such.
The meat of the class that I think is valuable is a martial that’s survivability is in dodging and whose offensive loop is to set up and exploit vulnerability each turn, whether it’s by buffing themselves or debuffing their enemy.
sad monk class sounds
But seriously, I always felt archetype of light armor being the ‘stealth’ armor class was silly. Sure, less penalty than chains and plates, but still.
Tuberculosis (consumption) was another constant killer, coming in at second.
There’s this one neat trick: Just call the communists fascist!
Now you can support foreign invasion and regime change as a proud member of anti-fa!
…Still won’t oppose capitalism though.
Spongebob’s eyebrows are symbolically, if not literally, Amazon. What did the artist mean by this?
“Communism is when centrally planned economy” is quite the premise to build upon.
That roof awning will pass on staying up before this fuckup settles.
Part of this I believe can be attributed to labelling rules. Only the concentrate portion can be called juice.
When it is made from concentrate the reconstituting water is the main ingredient. What’s shitty is that water gets more and more sugar/HFCS mixed in so less concentrate is used. Getting it down to 10% or less like that: it’s just flavoring the corn.
The AI uses em dashes because people used em dashes.
I got paid $9 an hour to hose down the furniture in the alzheimer’s wing of one of those places. Man those places are bleak.
It’s the Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter 1.
There are about a half dozen new mechanics woven into the game.
They learned a little from Balatro, added some questlines like FTL, and added a whole multiplayer component.
Clearly Obi-Wan is the master of the High Ground. He knows its strengths and weaknesses as second nature enough to exploit as he needed.
Anakin and Maul had no chance.
*edit To add: Obi-Wan gets caught in a fight on flat ground in front of Luke? Just gives up.
A landlord cannot just come on top the lawn and start ripping it up without the tenant’s permission.
On one hand, yes. On the other hand that’s only as enforceable as a tenant can fight it.
In practice it happens. Unless the tenant has the resources or there’s a legal advocacy group dedicated to that specific issue, owners tend to be able to do whatever they want so long as they use the argument of ‘protecting my property’.
The settlement and restitution just ends up something like the owner keeps their stuff there and maybe you get to terminate your lease tomorrow without being forced to pay out the whole eight remaining months of the lease. But that’s anecdotal.
Most stores are tenants of a landlord. Even those Walmart warehouses are leased, often both in land and structure.
The poop drop is a signal that locates the large slow moving animal for predators. They can’t clear the area faster than a jaguar arrives to investigate.
So they wait until it looks safe, climb down and put their shit at the base of a tree and climb back up.
But jaguars who have located a sloth also know they can wait for it to come to them. Which is why sloths try not to be located.
With sitting members of Congress I always try to acknowledge many of their communications are to, and meant for, other members of Congress, some/many of whom are the most unhinged people imaginable.
