Is there a list of former moderators out there somewhere?

(im half tempted to post this on meta to get @Medix2's goat.)

@ThomasMarkov rpg.stackexchange.com/election (does not include pro tems)

(and you can find the pro tems here/here)

RevenantBacon

@Rubiksmoose Oh, this is interesting.

Thomas Markov

ooh i have a question

RevenantBacon

@ThomasMarkov Well, you've certainly come to the right place for that :p

Thomas Markov

just gonna post it and see what happens.

@MikeQ Aw man, that's a bummer. 😒

@ThomasMarkov Do you ever get the feeling that you are Caesar addressing the Roman Senate? 😁

Rubiksmoose

@MikeQ :'(

Thomas Markov

My question is basically, "does WotC's concern for real world copyright law give a loop hole for double dipping on magical effects?"

Mark Wells

@ThomasMarkov Any given version of your class spell list will have the spell under only one name, so no. Nice try.

(but if you want to post that as a proper question then you'll likely get a better-researched answer)

KorvinStarmast

@ThomasMarkov Does this question refer to any of the Bigsby spells?

Or "PHB versus SRD" spell names?

Thomas Markov

@KorvinStarmast Yeah, that's the point of the question

KorvinStarmast

8:46 PM

@ThomasMarkov I'll sit back and let the rules lawyers answer this one. Are you running into an at table problem with this?

(Mind you, I have done a rules lawyer stint here and there Not proud of it).

Thomas Markov

@KorvinStarmast I try to ask my DM about weird stuff like this before trying it at the table, and he wanted to see what kind of answer it got here.

ACuriousMind

I think as a DM I would raise an eyebrow sharply and ask why you actually want to know this :P

Like, if you haven't got some exploit already in mind, why is this even an issue?

MikeQ

@KorvinStarmast So far I've received 4 strong maybes, and 1 maybe not.

KorvinStarmast

9:21 PM

@MikeQ Is this the usual kind of response you get from these same folks, or is this a new batch of folks?

@MikeQ I remember back in my dating days a "strong maybe" would usually be received by me as "ask someone else out, she has someone other than me in mind" or some such. Not sure if those same guidelines apply to gaming

MikeQ

This is the usual response that I've come to expect from them over the years. At least it's better than getting a bunch of yes responses, and then nobody showing up. Which has happened with other realworld players.

9:37 PM

Q: Should we merge [critical-failure] with [fumbles]?

Here's an example, a two questions: Is a fumble on a natural 1 an official rule? Is there an official variant rule where a natural 1 ends a full attack action? Both asks about the same outome (rolling nat 1 on an attack roll) in the same game system. One is tagged with [critical-failure], anoth...

Bardic Wizard

Welp I’m back from rafting!! Nobody died!!!! (Sorry, you can’t get rid of me that easily)

ACuriousMind

Yay?

@BardicWizard Woo! And many happy returns of the day.

@NautArch 7 days and still no internet/cable/phone at home. (Power, yes.) Broke a seven- or eight-hundred day long RPGSE streak... =(

NautArch

10:36 PM

@nitsua60 wow. My buddy in CT got his power back yesterday. It happened while they were watching infinity war at the exact moment of the snap. Scared him.

AncientSwordRage

Remind me never to eat passion fruit again

Rubiksmoose

@AncientSwordRage I really recommend drinking it. Preferably with lots of rum ;-)

I make a mean hurricane that uses homemade passion fruit syrup.

@nitsua60 Nooooo!

AncientSwordRage

@Rubiksmoose I don't drink and I'm foreswearing passion fruit for a while so that may be difficult

But I appreciate the offer

Rubiksmoose

Well that would certainly make my recommendation less than useful to you lol

AncientSwordRage

@Rubiksmoose any other drinks you can recommend?

Rubiksmoose

10:49 PM

I've never actually tried passion fruit in a non-alcoholic setting but I'll bet it would go great with pineapple and lime.

AncientSwordRage

@Rubiksmoose sounds good to me

BESW

I'm fond of Aloha Maid Passion Orange.

Or Pass-O-Guava.

AncientSwordRage

Sounds nice. These were from our back garden, and I'm wondering if some of them were off?

BESW

When we get fresh passion fruit, we often put them in smoothies with calamansi, dragon fruit... whatever's fresh, honestly?

AncientSwordRage

Calamansi is a new one on me

BESW

11:01 PM

You were just scooping out the guts, right? The inner lining is technically edible but who would want to.

MikeQ

If a passionfruit gets cold, is it still a passionfruit?

BESW

Was the skin wrinkly or smooth? It's riper and sweeter when it's wrinkly.

(Also, greener is less ripe, purpler is riper.)

AncientSwordRage

@BESW yup, these are red ones though, but probabally the same deal. I made salad dressing with them

@BESW a bit of both

I probably just ate way to much

@MikeQ I'm going to guess yes?

Hot RPG Questions

Q: What is Strahd von Zarovich's weight in bat form?

This question concerns D&D 5e. The relevant ability, with my emphasis, is as follows: While in bat or wolf form, Strahd can't speak. In bat form, his walking speed is 5 feet, and he has a flying speed of 30 feet. In wolf form, his walking speed is 40 feet. His statistics, other than his size and...

@HotRPGQuestions African or European Strahd?

@nitsua60 @MikeQ After our one shot, I just realized that I want to play a Four Elephants Monk. I need to figure out how to do that.

Probably a Druid Who can summon CR 4 creatures with MC in Monk ...

Someone_Evil

Not sure there is a way to summon four elephants

KorvinStarmast

@Someone_Evil Checking spell, get back to you

Someone_Evil

conjure animals only does up to CR 2 and conjure fey only does one creature

KorvinStarmast

Hmm Conjure just increases the CR 2's you can summon, not sure why I thought it would let me conjure h igher level critters ....

yeah, I was mixing those two spells in my head ... even twinning Conjure Fey won't do it.

Someone_Evil

Moon Druid 12 you could Wild shape into an elephant and keep the benefits from Monk (IIRC). Then I guess it becomes a matter of obtaining mirror image so there's 4 of you

BESW

11:55 PM

...I can't remember if Tantron can summon other elephants, but I'm sure it varies depending on the edition.

I know he gets +2 Concordance for socializing with elephants.
