It's not a chat upvote. Except when it totally is :-) (ie it's not meant to be one, but is occasionally used that way anyway)

@Gwideon this is one of my favourite rooms on SE, because the people are generally kind and helpful. :)
(One would think it comes with the being a sentient patch of green haze but this assumption doesn't necessarily bear out; a doppelgreener is much more complicated than that.)
@Gwideon Worldbuilding can be fun. Keeps the mind busy. Kinda sad sometimes though. With virtually no players, I'm pretty sure that 99% of my ideas won't be used anywhere.
@BESW Yes, install this script to help adjust the laws of the universe governing the color spectrum. It will make mod names show up in the correct color and poses no risk for the fabric of reality, I promise.
@SirCinnamon I'll have to check it out! Still got a ways to go on my Rift series travels.

@Gwideon I ask mostly because it's kind to ask, so I know how to refer to people in ways they are comfortable with even if they aren't here. It's my way of just...showing respect and care. :)
It's very good. A coworker mentioned it and when i looked it up it was well reviewed by Barack Obama and Hideo Kojima and i was like... I gotta know what thats about
@BESW Unsure about that. I prefer to cater my games based on my specific intended audience (and myself). My personal game goals and preferences are kinda baked in. It might not make sense for other groups.
@Ash then um thank you. um I will let you know That um i'm used to being referred to by male pronouns (I um kinda have to hide my status as non-binary)
@Gwideon Ah, maybe worth mentioning, there are usually multiple simultaneous conversations going on in chat. It's not like anyone needs to quiet themselves if someone else is discussing stuff.
@Gwideon Just to be clear, if you are uncomfortable with the issue you have no need to continue talking about it. But you also have no need to "shut up" at all as far as the room is concerned :) Please feel free to talk as much as you want.
@MikeQ Just wondering if that's a audience you'd include yourself in.
user15026
@Gwideon no worries! You don't have to shut up. Here, you can be however is comfortable. If you want to use they/them you can, and if you would rather we use other pronouns, we can also do that!
@GcL Then I'll tentatively say that I'm not specifically part of such an audience. It's usually easier for me to process a small set of generalizable rules, than a large set of very specific ones.
this is a terrible place to upload things because it's a text chatroom and not a fileserver but it takes links to files that are hosted somewhere else very well
@NautArch - Just an FYI, The Riftwar Legacy and the Legends of Krondor series are not really part of the Riftwar Cycle, they are standalones. The Riftwar Legacy was also the basis of the computer game "Betrayal at Krondor" which...was decent to play.
@JohnP orly? I was going by the wiki. And working my way down the list. I accidentally skipped the Empire Trilogy, but about to finish Book 2 of that before starting back up with Riftware Legacy.
@NautArch Yeah, Empire Trilogy, and those two are set in the same universe, and have some of the same characters, but aren't really (IIRC) mentioned otherwise. I think there are a couple of short paragraph or two references, but no real major impacts to the main arc.
I haven't read the last 4 books, but the Conclave of Shadows group was my favorite other than the initial 3/4 (Depending on how you count Magician, I read it as two separate books).
@JohnP I'm well past that part of the timeline in the main series and there definiitely weren't any references to what was going on there. There may have even been new info about some characters mentioned that wasn't elsewhere.
In my experience, the freehand used for the grapple is occupied as it needs to be used to continue hold onto the creature. To make the attack with the gauntlet would require you to let go therefore releasing the grapple but according to the core rules the grapple can be released as a free action so if you have a second attack available you could release what you're grappling then double slice it but then whatever you where grappling wouldn't be restrained anymore so what would be the point.
I've had a similar situation come up with one of my players before and as a GM this is how I ruled i…
> Mantles are currently a mechanic unique to the Dresden Files Accelerated game, which is built off of FAE. You are not far off in describing then as archetypes; my personal description of them would be:
I'm not really sure what to do or how to adjust the tags at this point, but if someone with time and experience could help out (or don't if it is unnecessary!), then I'm sure it would be appreciated.
@vicky_molokh Do you think this is a case where all the clashing tags affects the clarity of the question such that it would complicate or confuse answers?
@Rubiksmoose I'd remove [fate-core], and maybe [dresden-files], but I'm unsure if this will run into 'AE is technically a subset of Core' issue. And I'm not sure if [df] is meant to be setting-scope or original-setting-and-precore-system-scope.
@Gwideon I do think your first sentence might need some more evidence/explaining. What does "in your experience" mean as far as convincing someone here? Are you talking IRL or at the the game table? And you should answer the question (if the latter) why should my experience at the table be held specifically as a good way to run/interpret it and how does it help with this rules issue?
Do the rules support you statement? If not, is it because the rules are missing or unclear or something else? And why does ruling this way make sense? :)
it is unclear within the rules but it is implied by the rules
I've encountered a situation like this while GMing for a group of friends. I ruled that freehand used for the grapple is occupied as it needs to be used to continue hold onto the creature. To make the attack with the gauntlet would require you to let go therefore releasing the grapple but according to the core rules the grapple can be released as a free action so if you have a second attack available you could release what you're grappling then double slice it but then whatever you where grappling wouldn't be restrained anymore so what would be the point. I do think you would be able to fol…
@NautArch Maybe? They did something similar with combat maneuvers and the battle master.
As someone who's played multiple grapple builds in 3.PF, and had to constantly bring notes to the table and re-explain the mechanics to fellow players and GMs, I appreciate the simplified grappling ruleset
@MikeQ Right, but don't see anything like that with grappling. The most you get is incapacitated, but then both the grappler and graplee get that condition.
1. question containing german snippet from German PHB 2. I copy the snippet into my clipboard 3. I search "translate" in my chrome hotbar 4. google translate comes up (expected), but it "defaulted" to German to English.
because unless the last thing I used was German to English (possible), Google knows what's in my clipboard and is choosing the translator based off of that
If Kiv is around, type something in ... uh... Finnish?
honestly, any non German other language will work.
