  • I think, from his comment upthread, that last time he was in PTB he was told his fault was not warning people before banning them, hence the DMs

  • If we count the modifier keys:

    Vim: esc, shift+:, w, q, Enter

    Emacs: ctrl-s, crtl+x ctrl+c, or use the menu options

    I use both, but find Emacs much quicker, though vim is easier to learn, though Emacs is easier while you're learning

  • Entirely possible that's where I found How to be Everything

  • Hmm. Now I'm not sure, I'm probably confusing it with order of the stick

  • I used to follow that comic :) didn't save any though, not the sort of thing I do

  • You and everyone in my d&d group :) we're lucky enough to have one always wizard, one always rogue, one always cleric, over almost always druid, and two minmaxers

  • There have been fan works online explaining how to be an effective druid, see also though the guide to being everything a how-to for the Master of Many Forms druid prestige class

    5e druids are easier - as casters they are excellent for battlefield control, as wildshape users they are a front line thwackers almost on par with fighters

    3.5e druids seem most optimised as summoners, with you controlling numerous summons, but also capable in utility, buff, and battlefield casting

    In 3.5 I like to have a spreadsheet listing all the spells for each level and allowing selection of the correct number of spell slots, it's hard to manage on paper, especially when you're using several books

  • but I think druids are pretty underplayed.

    Indeed, the class has a few fans like me. I don't get why they're so unpopular, druids are powerful and probably more broken breakable than any of the basic classes (at least in 3.5)

  • I'm pretty sure loads of other classes have alignment restrictions - notably clerics and paladins

    Early d&d had the universe constructed as interlocking planes of law, chaos, good, and evil, with the world on the intersection of all those. That was the reason for heroes and monsters - they were touched by our created from one of the planes.

    The world was a battleground between the planes, and alignment was your alignment to the planes, which side of each fight you were on. It has gotten weaker each version since

    In 3.5 I usually play druids and usually neutral-good as I still have that old model in my head and if I'm not going to care about one axis, it's going to be law/chaos

  • In 3.5 a druid must be neutral on one axis. Druid spells don't interact with alignments; a monk must be lawful

    Players playing monks may have their character loose access to monk abilities if they do chaotic stuff too often

    Alignment has been an important part of the game

  • I'm pretty sure allergies are due in part to our crap diets. I changed my diet to one with only food my thrice great grandparents would recognise, also very low carb, no modern vegetable oils, and my allergies vanished (seasonal rhinitis) or became minor (cats)

  • Over 97% full in the Canberra region. But not more than 10 mins, usually less

  • People who have tried to gain literacy later in life have had a lot more trouble learning to write than read. It seems that the fine motor skills to drive a pen are best learnt early

  • Since they didn't note extreme blue shift, probably several billions of years

  • Milky way and Andromeda are close enough that expansion is too small to overpower gravity

    Our local group is racing toward The Great Attractor but will never reach it as expansion is pulling it away faster than we're falling toward it

  • Yeah, I'm pretty sure red shift is our best method for getting distances on billions of light year distant objects, no idea of it's the only one at that range

  • Shh

  • Do you think plastic straws are banned in the places with waste management that allow plastics to be dumped in the ocean?

    In my country pretty much every fast food straw lands in a fast food bin or in someone's car and thence into household rubbish

    None of that goes into water courses

    Asia on the other hand has some pretty poor countries with crap rubbish handling

  • That's a regional thing. Some places say on an island, others in an island.

  • We have a racism problem, not a nazi problem

    We have a car culture problem, not a nazi problem
