Nobody said anything about professionals until you came along. And you don't have to be the best. You just have to be enough. In fact nobody claimed anyone was the best until you came around. It seems like you just wanted an opportunity to insult Americans.
Ooo, it could take a minute. But yeah if that's what you want, I'll do it.
The problem I'm struggling with is combat that's too easy. I usually have 6 or 7 players and battles are written for 4 or 5. At some point the sheer action economy means the fights are too easy. So I'm looking for a way to make fights more dangerous without straight up killing low level adventurers (going unconscious is fine, I just generally don't kill players until mid levels) and without making combat take a long time.
So far I've tried;
Extra HP, which turned into a slap fight. Players and baddies just rolling to hit over and over. It takes longer and is boring.
Adding Enemies, this can induce a feeling of danger but as with the extra HP it takes longer because the party still has to chew through the extra HP.
Extra Damage, the most promising so far but very hard to balance. It's easy to overtune it and make a fight impossible for a party. But it doesn't affect time as much and it's been the most popular so far.
Ideas I want to try include;
Replacing a baddie with a spellcaster or adding one. This would hopefully not drag the fight out, but would require dynamic thinking, especially if extra damage is in play for the martial enemies.
Wave fights, it's easier to control for time, and I could delay a wave to give them healing time. If things are going long the extra waves just don't appear.
Control as swarms, this could probably really cut time down but if one roll misses than all attacks from the grouping miss. Which might play into the action economy problem I'm already facing.
3 round anti heroes, choose one or several enemies to stay up for 3 rounds no matter what. Record their damage and kill them off as they get hit in the fourth round if they hit zero. But allow them to remain conscious for 3 rounds. But I wouldn't be able to give updates on their health to the players. Maybe I could communicate they special status instead, like glowing eyes, or an aura of zeal.
Any other ideas are welcome!
Hold on, lemme go dump my entire homebrew notes in there. :)-
Just kidding, sounds like an invaluable place.
They have more gear than we had in Afghanistan. To arrest working class people with no violent history.
Mexico has a giant deposit but they insist on silly things like environmental regulations.
Duh? You don't think a Fox News host is actually running the DOD either right? Or Naomi DHS?
This has been transparent from the start.
So much for parents doing research and deciding if it's right for them. Yet another bad faith argument.
Hilariously those are the two that would probably be containable.
It was just a general sentiment but he's definitely going to try. And if his party supports him through all the protests then the best defense of Democracy is indeed going to be voting him out.
Now they're trotting out reports they've miraculously found of him being a human trafficker.
Hi. Long time therapy winner here. So first things first, you should absolutely talk to a therapist, not just take pills. The second thing you need to do is figure out your preferred grounding mechanism. This is usually going to involve one your senses, sight, touch, smell, hearing, taste, or breath. (Even though breath isn't a traditional sense)
I know people who keep pine bark on a necklace, I know people who list 5 things of a particular color near them, and I know people who listen to a song. Usually breath is combined with whatever else you're doing. Both as part of grounding and to cue your brain to pay attention to the sense you're using.
A therapist can help you figure what works for you to get you back from panic attacks as quickly as possible. And you are absolutely not alone.
This is an entirely different approach than most people are used to. My advice from a couple of combat deployments is to cultivate a task oriented mindset. What does that mean? It means worrying about the task you are doing right now and nothing else. That doesn't mean you never look at the bigger picture. But if you're at dinner, then you're at dinner and you enjoy that. You can check when the next protest is, after dinner. You take each day like this and before you know it we'll be voting Trump out of office.
I'd believe it all except you leave out any details. Almost like this is a canned response for any allegation of ICE detaining Puerto Ricans. Because to be clear, a simple Google search reveals there are multiple allegations of multiple instances.
No amount of sane washing is going to push this under the rug.
The official attitudes about this are interesting. In some countries they're more worried about protecting the privacy of the accused. In other countries they identify the accused because they're worried about people being disappeared.
Dude. He's already breaking the laws by sending people directly to CECOT. He's ignoring court orders and the need to get an order of removal for people. They're arresting people just for speaking Spanish without having a passport on them, like that Puerto Rican family.
If they're ignoring all the rules for people who can't pony up citizenship paperwork in time then there's nothing stopping them from quickly deporting a natural born citizen. Hell, anyone on the street without documents on their person is a valid target under the observed tactics.
They are not being honest with you.
Wow, nothing like a shove forward as you step back right? I got news for you buddy, this isn't the kind of thing just a few people can fix. The country actually elected him. We need to build a movement to fight this, to prevent the country from just electing the next one.
From what I can find you're talking about sale pricing. Which also happens to other proteins.
These high-powered weapons are only meant for police. How are they ending up in criminals' hands?
A CBS News investigation found dozens of law enforcement leaders — sheriffs, captains, lieutenants, chiefs of police — buying and illegally selling firearms, even weapons of war, across 23 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., from the Deep South to the Midwest, Northeast and California coast.

That's it, include a link of course but otherwise it's unchanged.
Several people pointed out that our rules for behavior weren't immediately apparent. While I would say this shouldn't be an issue in a community about posting new communities, I have been proven wrong on multiple occasions. So I have made the list in our sidebar. These are a paraphrasing of Mastodon.World's rules. So there is no functional change. We will continue to use their rules as a master list. But they boil down to being civil. If you don't like something or someone and have no constructive criticism, then you just move on.
I'm going to put changes here as well so people on apps can see them easier.
>The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
>1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.(link)
>A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rule breaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.
>B. No illegal content.
>C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
>D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
>E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
Guys I understand there's big stuff going on in the world. This community though is really just about finding other communities. For now, on the theory that people kind of forgot where they were, some temp bans were handed out. I have no pretensions of this being c/news or something. But I also have no pretensions of this being c/news. It is absolutely beyond the pale to post your political broadsides here while people are trying to figure out the best place to have their community. The only way politics is acceptable here is if you're talking about opening or moving a community about politics or because of politics. And it should absolutely remain civil. A simple, "I don't like your ideology", is enough here.
Here we go again.

BEIJING (Reuters) -The United States on Tuesday pressed its call for military communication channels with China and signalled concern over reports that China plans a military training facility in Cuba following Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Beijing over the weekend.

The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
