Today is the first day I regret having three monitors

But that’s my point, 5e is already not a rigid system.

What do you mean official statblock? As in it’s a statblock from the dmg/mm? Then they can still just tack in things they want/need (as can you, as dm).

I agree they probably could (and should) have better specified that this diverges from the stat block, but the point of the module is to try and cater to everyone, including rewarding players that took points in perception here apparently.

I think it’s got its pros and cons, I’m very fond of seeing all the rules and following them, even as a dm, so 3e (and Pathfinder) were always more my thing, but having played 5e nowadays (and other, even more “you have a 5 damage power, flavour it however you like” like mutants & masterminds) I kind of like the dm style of “know your players, make exceptions where it would increase enjoyment and/or add an interesting challenge without breaking the future fun of the game” too.

Arguably that’s the difference between DM and GM. A DM is just running a dungeon. A GM is running the whole game, rules and all.

But the shaman’s no player character so the rules don’t apply to him.

In 3e pretty much every npc was fully buildable from existing classes, in 5e they just stopped doing that. If the module says he can do sneaky cure wounds, he can do sneaky cure wounds.

Yes, and it cools stuff to cooler than the outside air, right?

The same way a fridge works

Calvin, age 5, says he’s intimately familiar with the attic since he stood on the first step of the ladder to the attic 3 times.

Corporations only allowed to rent AND rent being taxed reasonably AND rent being legally bound to be proportional to value would solve some problems 🤔 Not sure how many new problems this would create, especially in transition periods and with foreign countries not all doing the same.

Counting properties is difficult for bigger lots though. Is that a big shed or an extra house at the other end of your farm? Or maybe that doesn’t really matter unless you rent it out.

Lmao what a trash take, thanks for sharing!

Is that the reason people crop out artists?

I’ll be impressed if it’s actually algorithm-free, but I get what you mean 😅

If 1, then if not 2, when? And if 1 and 2, then why not 3?

In this paper I will …

Do surgeries count?

And Gaben is taking more gamers to Linux each year 🥳

So that’s why it’s called cumsum?

Not so much cursed as just cool evolution. We can trace nipples producing milk to specialized sweat glands, isn’t that cool?

I believe platypuses (platypi?) and/or echidnas don’t have nipples but instead sweat out milk. Doesn’t that count as milk then?

With no teats, the milk is released through pores in the skin from which the young lap it up in her fur

Close, but now you come into contact with the atmosphere not actually being the same density (in weight/volume as well as in particles/volume) throughout, but instead gets thinner as you get away from the earth.

For simplicity, assume space is actually empty, and the atmosphere gets thinner linearly up until x kilometers above sea level it’s completely empty. Then the density will also decrease with height, and the helium balloon will eventually find a spot that matches its density, and stop there.

Again there’s so much more to it but as a simplified model this works 😅

Rockets mostly need to fight speed (of the earth revolving around the sun), and indeed in our atmosphere speed means friction, but in space rockets still need a lot of propellant to change their trajectory. As always there’s a relevant xkcd: https://what-if.xkcd.com/58/

The very short answer is that gas pressure is mostly proportional to the amount of particles per volume.

So a balloon filled with helium has X particles per cubic cm, while the air around it has the same amount (instead of getting crushed). But because helium is a lot lighter per particle than standard air, this makes the balloon lighter than air, and like trying to push an air-filled balloon underwater, this helium-filled balloon floats to the higher layers of air, until other smaller forces also start to matter and the balance is restored.

So a “vacuum-filled” balloon has nothing to give counter-pressure, but a balloon filled with helium definitely does.
