@G.Moylan During a the busy season, taking time out to go give a quote was detracting from time spent on established paying clients. Also, it's rarely anyone's favorite thing to do, and when you're already booked for the season it's even less of a priority.
@G.Moylan Still, it's poor customer service to stand you up like that. Sorry you experienced that.
So, for some reason I got really curious about links in comments and when they add to the "Linked" sidebar. I thought that any link on the page got added (including any in the comments), but I noticed today that that wasn't true.
So, I just probably annoyed the beejesus out of the poor poster of this question but I did some experiments. It looks to me like links in the comments only get added if they are bare links which seems very strange to me.
Actually it occurs to me that it might be a result of the exact way my comment link auto formatter formats the links.
@GcL yeah I get it. It's just incredibly frustrating. We spoke to the owner once and he was super apologetic about the issue and said he'd personally come out and give us a quote. Still a no-show. Oh well, on to the next company
In D&D 5e, many spells have a fixed duration measured in common units of time - minutes, hours, days and so on. Does the caster of a spell have any special insight as to when a spell they cast will end, and if so, is this knowledge vague ("about half", "very nearly gone") or precise ("in five, fo...
I, personally, don't think it'd be a tremendous crime if you made a post on meta.rpg specifically just for figuring out what's going on with the link parser and then deleted it. But I can't guarantee everyone would feel that way
I am currently working on a multiclassed Ranger/Sorcerer character, and I have decided to take the Hunter ranger archetype. The Horde Breaker option for the Hunter's Prey feature seems to allow me to use the green-flame blade spell twice in one round.
Horde Breaker reads:
Once on each of you...
mouseover to see the difference - rendering strips the trailing slash from display, but it needs to be there in the raw for the parser to pick up on it
I assume there's a regex in there which only matches when the question number part of the URL is actually terminated by a /
I think that's consistent with all your testing so far
@KorvinStarmast That might be doable, if you run a remote style game. I'm currently between groups, my last two groups have imploded because of pie and DM apathy.
@Carcer hmmm did I? Or did it just look that way. Because whenever I use the script it shortens it to //rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/q/9082 this in the body of the comment, but when you hover it just looks normal.
@JohnP not sure what your life looks like schedule wise, but I am unable to join in on the Chatizen ToA game and it looks like everyone else can make it. (nitsua60 Dming). I'd love for Hal (my character) to be in play and will ask in the back room if you can sub in. But it's Saturday Night, 9 MP Easter Time. That is often a tough ask ...
@G.Moylan So it looks like just about any combination of links worked (bare or not, in series or not, with other text or not) as long as it is in the format: https://site.stackexchange.com/questionid
@Someone_Evil So, SOX puts a link below the question to the timeline. Otherwise you have to get to it manually by going to https://rpg.stackexchange.com/posts/[postID]/timeline I think
I'm not seeing it being rep-locked anywhere, or at least it is not listed in the privileges, but I'm not sure.
@KorvinStarmast This weekend it is. I am part of the team that runs our martial arts tournaments, and we have our District Championships today and tomorrow. I will probably be still packing up and/or finishing my competition at that time.
SOX v2.4.0
Stack Overflow Extras (SOX) is a project that stemmed from the Stack Overflow Optional Features (SOOF) project.
The SOX userscript adds a bunch of optional features to all sites in the Stack Exchange network. These can be toggled on or off from an easy to use control panel (see s...
@JohnP Best wishes on that tourney. The every other Monday group I play with may have an opening in July, I'll get back in touch with you then. Roll 20. (Various people out of town in the next feew weeks, so "settling down" expected then).

This userscript automatically converts raw Stack Exchange question URLs into the form [title](link) before submitting comments by grabbing their titles from the API. This is similar to conversion done natively on posts, and is in response to this Meta request. The script also tries to ...
Apparently it was rolled out as an experiment 9 years ago. Seven years ago it was asked that it be made a link, rather than people having to cobble together the link manually. That status is, today, still deferred:
Since a year I am quite active on SO and a bit on meta, but I have never heard of the timeline of a post, till today in a comment on meta.
There has been an announcement by Jeff Atwood 2 years ago of this feature as "experimental". (Timeline for that question).
This feature has been requested b...
@Ash I thought you knew, I announced in the lounge when I won Worlds last year. Last year was a great year, 8 events, 6 medals, 1 title. Also got 2nd in sparring, which is almost (almost!) better than the title, because I'm just not fast enough to be really good at our sparring style.
But thanks! :)

@JohnP I probably did! But....since my concussion a month ago I've realized my recall for details is absolutely scrambled. My apologies!
@Ash Oh, I didn't know. I haven't been in there much in a while, I was traveling for work and training in a new role, so I was pretty limited to staying up on my sites.
Sorry to hear about it, hope it wasn't a really serious thing.

I fell and hit my head on a metal support thing for a chair, it wasn't even a good story. Just enough to rattle my brain a good bunch. :P
@goodguy5 And they are all completely different in effect, and every person reacts differently.
that's one of the reasons that sports struggles with concussion protocols so much, is what lays one athlete out would barely faze another athlete. And no way to predict how long the symptoms will linger.
user15026
@JohnP This is what is frustrating me, how much I am still noticing as not being right. :(
Hrm. Just judging by the spell, they retain enough discretion to not flee into fire, so I would think they would flee towards allies. But nothing definitive in the descriptiion
so @Rubiksmoose to setup SOX, the post mentions I can use Greasemonkey on FF, but the revision history says Greasemonkey is no longer supported. sooo....
i'll ask, then you decide what or if you want to answer :P
I'm playing a Tomb of Annihilation campaign. One of my companions died and came back as a freaking Cat Monk that does everything my rogue does, but better. Except sneak attacking...
So I decided to swap characters too, since we have no support since his cleric died, and make myself a Bard
Thing is, I'm between 3 choices, V.human starting with something like Lucky or Inspiring Leader. Half Elf (this is the one that I'm more inclined to follow), for all the extra skills and a nice +2cha, and also later I can grab Elven Accuracy, or Drow, for Elven Accuracy, extra spells (faerie fire!) and more extra spells with their feat...
This is what I rolled so stat-wise I think I'll be fine whatever 13-16-15-14-16-11
@JohnP For me it started to recede when my youngest hit kindergarten. With them all going the same direction each morning, wiping their own wipe-areas, and having pretty good nights I finally started getting to bed before midnight again, got back to regular exercise, dropped 15 lbs....
@GcL it's great for giving the whole party advantage (as long as you maintain concentration) against potentially multiple targets in a fight, which is especially nice if you have a rogue party member
The D&D Core Rules Gift Set (latest printing of PHB/DMG/MM) are currently 50% off on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786966629/ Currently $84.71, instead of their MSRP of $169.95. (They've been roughly this cheap on Amazon on occasion in the past: https://camelcamelcamel.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Rulebooks-Slipcase-Handbook/product/0786966629?context=search)
What is it with WotC and their binding process? Not just in this collection, but the first printings just fell apart on most of my friends, and looking at the reviews of even the individual books, stuff hasn't got much better. At least they're apparently pretty good at giving replacements.
There was a big post on reddit for a while where someone purchased the special edition set and their PHB was bound upside-down. So they sent it in for a replacement and the new copy they got was ALSO bound upside-down.
they got a good copy the next go-round and a box of apology goodies from WotC
--- and then there are the folks that chase stuff like that. I think collectively one of the D&D subs had managed to post photos of the entire collection bound upside-down at one point
@GcL I haven't had any that outright come apart yet, but I did have to slice part of my MM where there was an extra bit that stuck out and had been folded back over into the binding, making a small batch of pages inaccessible
@Stackstuck I can't answer that question specifically (unfamiliar with the system) but having a "negative weight" is perfectly well-defined in physics; it just means the object weighs less than the ambient environment, i.e. the atmospheric air and the weight exerted by its pressure.
@goodguy5 I'm kinda leaning on that because the group is not very RP heavy and the other characters are a little more nuanced :P But... yeah, It seems that I had already made a decision! huh
then I would chalk it up to "up to" being implicit and missed in translation. If they're inconsistent about units of weight/mass it doesn't seem like a far cry to think there might be other errors
it seems odd that a game system would force an item to become "negative weight" but not include rules for how to handle that. I'd think there are several items that weight much less than 60lbs that could be affected in such a way
Bardic Performance reads as follows:
Starting a bardic performance is a standard action, but it can be
maintained each round as a free action. Changing a bardic performance
from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous
performance and start a new one as a standard ac...
