apparently spanish borrowed the word groggy (as grogui, of course). not super common but it gets used.

@Lady yes i have not internalized this as a single category.

someday i will get used to most of the world not distinguishing cookies and crackers

i haven't yet tho.

@Satsuma @wallhackio do they grade quals on a curve? i would have assumed not

@wallhackio @aescling to describe receiving something from a younger relation. a hand-me-up if you will.

@aescling @wallhackio those are very reasonable interpretations. more so than how i actually used it today but i enjoyed it.

@wallhackio i guess i'm adapting to celsius because i saw this and was like "oh that sounds nice"

a lot of shops here close for vacation during january

strong temptation about changing what game i'm planning to run soon again

this is the problem with an extended delay between deciding to run something and actually starting play hehe

also me being a mercurial and capricious person but yk

@Satsuma @Lady @aescling as i recall chairman mao said you're not allowed to talk to comrades without doing a lot of other stuff first

@Satsuma ah interesting. it did not come up during the one game of 5e i've played hehe.

pathfinder 2e does instead "roll the damage normally, then multiply the result" (although roll multiple times and then add them together is explicitly offered as a variant).

for example that the encumbrance rules in most circumstances are "dwbi, just apply your armor penalties", or that 2-handed weapons get one and a half times your strength modifier as a bonus, or that when you do e.g. double damage, you roll the damage dice twice rather than just, rolling once and doubling the result.

my wife's gonna gm a 1-on-1 campaign of pathfinder 1e for me for spanish practice/fun combo reasons and i am learning that there's a lot of very basic 3.5e d&d/1e pathfinder rules i was not aware of before now (admittedly, i never played either but)

@Lady @Satsuma @wallhackio @aescling huh they’re from seattle?

@xsssm fair but the top of the head looks very Bald

champions gives powers such such bizarrely high range. generally ranged powers have about 10 meters of range per point in the power. an energy blast that hits as hard as like, an average person's punch costs 10 points and therefore has a range of 100 meters.

this is a superhero game. obvs depending on the particular table people will have different power levels, but a typical attack power might be somewhere in the 40 to 60 point range. so 400 to 600 meters of range.

(however due to distance modifiers to attacks you probably won't hit anything at that kind of range unless you really optimize for it)
