Q: Does the Dodge action have any effect when you are incapacitated or your speed drops to 0?

Mars PlasticFrom the Basic Rules (emphasis mine): When you take the Dodge action, you focus entirely on avoiding attacks. Until the start of your next turn, any attack roll made against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and you make Dexterity saving throws with advantage. You lose this benef...

Needles & Nilbogs: Textile traditions in fantasy, a how-to guide: part 3 of 3!
posted on April 22, 2022 by Bardic Wizard

 Continuing on from the past two posts, this is the final part of a 3 part series dealing with textiles and traditions in fantasy worlds.  Today, I’m going to give a few examples of textiles in RPG worlds that I’ve built, but first I want to briefly talk about working these into a game. Working worldbuilding into an rpg plot is a complex subject and requires a lot more effort than I c…

A: Does second answer count as first when first answer was deleted?

EtherYes it does, but if the "first" answer is undeleted later on, then you lose your "first" status. This can affect the validity of the Enlightened badge. If you later become eligible for another Enlightened badge and you "un-earned" the first one, you won't be given another one.

@ThomasMarkov relevant answer ^ ?
 
Thomas Markov
Thomas Markov
@AncientSwordRage Yeah, while the first answer is deleted, the second answer can be eligible for the badge. If the first answer is undeleted before the badge script hits the second, then the second will not be eligible.
 
AncientSwordRage
AncientSwordRage
@ThomasMarkov I read it as 'If the first answer is undeleted, and you would get enlightened on another question, you don't'

@ThomasMarkov Oh, right, hopefully. Appreciate the reminder, though I'd like to note that if there's anything particular you're waiting on for, it's probably better to just raise it as its own meta (if applicable)
@AncientSwordRage That A seems to refer to badge retraction, which AFAIk isn't a thing (anymore). At least not for most badges (non-tag badges?)
 
AncientSwordRage
AncientSwordRage
@Someone_Evil interesting
@bobble I wonder if there is anything else on meta you could find?
 
Someone_Evil
Someone_Evil
I've been a bit out of the loop and to save me delving into the transcript, is there a specific query you have?
 
Thomas Markov
Thomas Markov
@Someone_Evil I was looking for a query that gave questions I answered where someone else got an enlightened badge.

Ah, there's a couple of edge cases on that which would make it tricky
I assume the badge award feed isn't SEDE accessible?

@Someone_Evil this was my attempt: data.stackexchange.com/rpg/query/1582291/…

@bobble badges being retracted or not awarded if one was previously given in error. e.g. your Enlightened badge is invalidated and you would earn one on another question - what happens?

Q: Should system confiscate badges earned from voting irregularities?

yorkwIf a user is under investigation of voting irregularities, and has been charged as guilty, system takes back reputation earned from fraud voting. Should system take back those badges (Enlightened, Nice Answer and etc.) earned from fraud voting as well? Personally I think it should, simply becaus...

Suggests no, since it's proposing to add the functionality

A: Why does reversing serial upvoting not reverse the Mortarboard badge?

OdedAs a matter of policy, awarded badges do not get reversed. The only exception to this rule is fraud. If we are made aware of badges that were awarded fraudulently (sock puppetry, maliciously-intended voting irregularity or other), they will be revoked.

meta.stackexchange.com/q/378044/1017231 finally lead me to the duplicate where I should have looked at first
> The Stack Exchange team has stated repeatedly that non-tag badges will never be revoked except under the following exceptional circumstances (though not always):

you are dissociated from a post which earned you a badge
the badge was awarded due to a software bug or other mistake
an account that has a badge that it no longer qualifies for was merged into another account
the badge was obtained by heinous cheating

A: How do "badges" work?

SCdFWhat are badges? Badges are awarded to users in recognition of their contributions to the community. There are many ways to contribute, and consequently, there are many badges. There are three ranks of badges. Bronze badges are relatively easy to get, and often help teach users how to use the sys...

@goodguy5 i honestly kinda hope it needs surgery or something cause at least that is a fast fix. my mom said the migraines might be permanent and of course... theirs the small chance its a brain tumor lol.
so my options are dying, surgery, or enternal suffering. what would you pick @goodguy5 lol. not that i get a choice. kinda just chance from here.
 
goodguy5
goodguy5
@Catofdoom2 surgery, with a tie on second for dying and eternal suffering

@yuuki is the biggest proprietor of such sayings.
@Catofdoom2 still usually brief in the concept of an individual human existence.
 
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@goodguy5 can take up to 10 years... that would be like 40% of my life
 
goodguy5
goodguy5
@Catofdoom2 aye can. doesn't usually, and you don't spend the whole time actively dying.
unless one argues that the entirety of a life is spent dying
I find arguments like that get in the way of one living, however.
 
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@goodguy5 @goodguy5 thats exactly what i was about to say
i really just want a little more time if i could. if i do have to die i want atleast another year and a half
is that a fair request?
i feel worse every day
 
goodguy5
goodguy5
@Catofdoom2 I think everyone has a similar request.
If it's any consolation, it would be exceedingly rare for you to suddenly get a terminal diagnosis out of no where and/or suddenly die.

Especially at your age.

It's much more likely that you have environmental interaction. Like an allergy or something.

i do think i'd rather die than hurt like this forever honestly

And you also strike me as someone with moderate anxiety and that stress can also cause headaches

@goodguy5 dignoised with anxitey and depression at the age of 9 autism at 7

goodguy5
How much does your medicine help?
 
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
4:15 PM
@goodguy5 the medicine for depression and anxiety, the one for my ADHD or the pain killers i've been doing to help with the pain?
 
goodguy5
goodguy5
both, but I meant the anxiety medication.
And what I'm really getting at here.
Have you and your dr done anything to confirm that none of your medicines are giving you migraines?
 
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@goodguy5 well my anxiety and depression are 1 pill, i'd say it's better than not taking them definltly, but they don't magically make it disappear
@goodguy5 been on them for years, not likley, i suppose i could ask tho
 
goodguy5
goodguy5
When I take my adhd medicine, it's 50-50 whether I get a headache that day.
/shrug
at any rate, best of luck.
 
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@goodguy5 is it bad that 1 of things i want to do before dying is playing some of the older Pokemon games?
lol
i'd like to state for the record that the pain killers should be in full effect yet i still feel terrible and i'm in serve pain
like actually the most pain in my life

Q: Can I change the cantrip I get from my Pact Boon with Eldritch Versatility?

AncientSwordRageI need to check with my GM first whether this is allowed but I'm considering retraining one of my fourth level Warlock's cantrips she learnt from her Pact of the Tome. Looking at the optional class feature Eldritch Versatility (introduced in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, p. 70), one of the bull...
