@goodguy5 Cultivar is a relevant term. Which of coarse brings up the fact that cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and kale are different cultivars (essentially breeds) of the same plant
@Someone_Evil I considered cultivar, and I don't know enough about how varieties of hemp work. I don't know if they're actually the exact same plant, or if they're different species of the same genus. I guess I could joojle it.
I like broccoli, cauliflower, brusselsprouts and well, pretty much everything related to them. Although I've eaten too much cabbage this one time and it was quite weird
I always thought cabbage tastes mild, like salad or something. WRONG. Overindulge in raw cabbage and it's like one's mouth becomes a vat of acid
I'm not even referring to the other digestive aspects, but it literally starts causing a burning sensation in one's mouth, at least for me, if I eat too much cabbage at once.
or maybe astringent? It's been a while since I tried.
@goodguy5 They are cultivars (industrial is one (or more) and the medical/recreational are a set of different cultivars. You can find lists of which cultivars are approved for growing in canada, for instance). Strains is sometimes used for cultivars that "come true from seeds" is far as I could find, and/or is the traditional term used within the recreational community
@goodguy5 When I was in the army, the signal corps to be precise, I developed some sort of non-contagious skin condition that causes tiny itchy blisters and that still recurs ten years later. I suppose it started due to a combination of stress and the really fine annoying dust that accumulates on cables and the like as they're laid on the forest floor a few dozen times.
There are a few things that aggravate the rash, which is nowadays really manageable most of the time. Fine dust is one, washing my hands too often is another... but kiwi juice is so far by far the worst.
@goodguy5 Dermatologists only guess x) I mean there's some catch-all diagnosis like "atopic eczema" they usually go with
Skin conditions are not as well understood as one'd hope, maybe because the symptoms are usually easy to alleviate and they're seldom deadly in the wealthier parts of the world like this
I drank quite much at one point, not in like raw amounts but I had some reason to down about a single beer many times a week. So often, not much at a time
Release party at work? Beer. RPGs? Beer. Everyone else has one too. Sauna? Beer. Mopped up floors? Reward thyself with beer. Etc etc
I'm a teetotaler. I've had exactly two drinks in the last ten years: once, back in college, when I went out with a friend to a bar and had a large glass of hard cider, and once, about two months ago, when I was making a Tiramisu and poured myself a shot of the rum I was using to make the Tiramisu just to sample it.
I'm not sure if it was the fact that the rum was only like $10 or if it's just my unfamiliarity with drinking alcohol, but I... did not like it. =P
I do, however, keep Kirschwasser on tap in my pantry for baking certain kinds of cakes. I suggested it for the players meeting at my apartment next weekend: they weren't fans.
(I've actually never drank Kirschwasser directly; my brother has though and he said he actually really liked it. Too expensive to drink regularly though)
@kviiri I think broccoli got a bad rap when President GHW Bush (back in the late 80's) made some off had remark about not liking broccoli .... I think that's where the meme started. I like broc.
@KorvinStarmast I wouldn't go so far as to say that IPAs have been bad for beer. They're clearly a large part of the craft brewing scene and a lot more people are paying attention to what beers they're drinking now instead of just whatever cheap six-pack of either Budweiser, Miller, or Coors they found on sale at the grocery store.
It's just that I'm personally not a fan of the whole IPA movement.
@KorvinStarmast It's not so much the almond trees as it is the pesticides and growing practices, and farmers converting over to almond farming because of how many are needed to produce milk.
So I took 3 levels of Magus to get Spell Blending to pick up the Hurricane Bow spell (changes bow damage dice from 1d8 to 2d6) and now I'm putting the rest of my levels into Fighter for bonus feats since archery is a pretty feat-intensive combat style.
@KorvinStarmast I have a hard time with almost all hard alcohols, unless they are mixed. Not sure why. Tequila is about the only one I can sip straight.
I too dislike hard liquors, the only one I can stand is Jaloviina and even that's only because it's The student drink (hence, lots of practice opportunities)
@KorvinStarmast Dark beers for me, usually. Porters, stouts, red ales. But I have found that there are ones here and there among all the varieties that are good. I even found a sour that I liked the other day, which really surprised me.
@James I build the world in broad strokes. I confine detailed work to the locale whre the PCs start. We can fill in the rest of the world as time goes on.
@Yuuki Wait, I'm confused. You took 3 levels of Magus, so that you could take the Arcana that gives you a Level 1 Wizard spell? Why not just 1-level dip Wizard (or better yet, Sorcerer)?
@Yuuki Also, did you mean Gravity Bow? Or is this an "inconsistent translations between language editions" thing?
@Yuuki According to the Wiki, it's a Sorcerer-only spell. You may want to respec into a single level of sorcerer then go to straight fighter or whatever after that.
Yes the movie starring Bowie's tight pants and a squadron of muppets
I'm aware that certain modules are based on (or pay homage to) pop culture references. Haven't seen any obvious Labyrinth references in recent editions, and Labyrinth's large mazes and obscure challenges seem somewhat AD&D in style.
@RevenantBacon Remembered the other reason why I went Magus instead of Wizard/Sorcerer. Magus negates spell failure on light armor and the CRPG doesn't have Still Spell metamagic.
I've been looking at the "This is Your Life" tables from Xanathar's Guide to Everything, and in particular there's an entry on the Birthplace table on page 62:
98 On the Astral Plane or the Ethereal Plane
However, the DMG says this about the Astral Plane on page 47:
Creatures ...
Suppose I have to run 300 feet across an open field from one area of full cover to another. The entire time I'm in the open, I will be taking incoming ranged attacks, and I want to minimize the number of attacks that hit me as I cross the field. My speed is 30. I have 2 options:
Take the dodge...
