So I'm being part of a DnD campaign soon, and I'm making a tempest cleric that worships Thor. Since Thor's weapon is a Warhammmer, and I also use a Warhammer, could the hammer count as a holy symbol or would there need to be some form of engraving/emblem on it for it to count?

Hello! How are the lovely (probably) humans around here?

Probably as in probably human, not as in probably lovely. I’m sure everyone here is definitely lovely

Fun! I’m supposed to be asleep cause tomorrow is my birthday and we’re going rafting!

BESW

Oooh fun.

Is rafting a thing you do often?

Bardic Wizard

No it’s our first time, but a friend said it’s fun so we’re trying it.

Very cool. I've never done anything that'd probably be called rafting in the proper sense.

I've gone both rafting and kayaking

I make the distinction only in that one is in rapids water and one is just on the ocean when it's calm

more kayaking than rafting for sure though

BESW

I've... paddled a leaking inflatable boat on the Talofofo River, what's that count as?

trogdor

what do you think that counts as? do I look like an expert?

XD

MikeQ

@trogdor But have you gone both rafting and kayaking simultaneously? Twice the equipment for twice the fun?

trogdor

no definitely not

XD

also twice as many clones of myself

so I could be two places at once

MikeQ

5:48 AM

One @trogdor in the raft and kayak, the other @trogdor filming it for internet points

trogdor

lol

no

clearly we have very different ideas about how this could possibly work logistically

MikeQ

Sure, sure. You could have one foot in the raft and the other in the kayak, sort of like water skiing. Or, you could sit in one and pull the other one over you, making yourself into a waterborne @trogdor sandwich.

Or you could cut them both sagittally, then glue each half-kayak with the opposite half-raft, yielding a pair of raft-kayak hybrids. Then you race against your clone.

@BardicWizard Oh my that sounds neat! Have a great time :)

I've been canoeing a few times myself, and I like rowing. I've been thinking of actually joining a rowing team once I have the time

Q: Is this really a reccomendation question?

I have stumbled upon this question. It asks about a site that the querent has seen. The question does not ask the users to suggest a game, not even a product. It looks more like a resource-identification question to me, but I just awoke and it's very hot here and my judgement could be clouded. I'...

@V2Blast man, that was quick. I was in the middle of typing a reason for my flag on that spam and it was nuked before I finished typing. grin

@BardicWizard Oh, dear, I think I'm on your list. And that singular anomaly, the background novelist – I don’t think they’d be missed – I’m sure they’d not be missed I have written a few that went on for pages and pages ... I think I owe you one for the Mikado's entry solo "My object all sublime, I shall achieve in time ...." I'll start it out as A more humane game master never did at table exist I'll have it done by lunch time.

V2Blast

@KorvinStarmast Haha, I happened to look at the flags just now. Though it does seem like they're a human user and not just a spambot, so I have given the other mods a ping to take a look at the question and maybe explain how the site works to the asker.

KorvinStarmast

@V2Blast looks to me like a {clumsy} attempt to write an ad for their kickstarter. But I have been wrong before.

V2Blast

True, I just mean we may need to explain to them "that's not how we do things here" - while they might be able to get away with posting that sort of thing on /r/dnd or /r/dndnext if they follow the subreddit rules on self-promotion, tangentially-related/unrelated self-promotion is almost never appropriate on RPG.SE (plus the question itself is more of a discussion prompt). I figure it's well-meaning, even if misplaced

I initially glanced at it and thought it was a spambot ripping off a legit post or something, and tacking spam onto the end

Q: Can you use your free object interaction while restrained?

If a character is restrained, like being in the gullet of a froghemoth, and they attempt to pull out a different weapon, I assume they could drop what they were holding, but since their speed is zero, can they pull out another item for free? For instance, a character drops a dagger and pulls out ...

V2Blast

@BESW I mean, I don't foresee any problems doing so, if that's what you're asking. I've seen some of their posts/messages in mod channels (they mod cooking.SE and boardgames.SE) but never interacted with them there directly. :)
