Say what you will about totalitarian dictators, at least they’re human.
  • ...that's the thing with autonomous world-machines: no easy target and their amorality fosters an insidiously pervasive sort of evil...moustache-twirling balls-out cartoon fascists foster the hope that upon their oblivion, good will rightfully inherit the earth, although history seldom supports that thesis...

  • ...so, like, it was a walmart-exclusive live television broadcast?..was there a live audience at the perfromance or was he just playing to an empty studio?..how'd that work, like, did they set up chairs in front of a special big-screen at each location or did you just stand around the electronics department for two hours?..

    ...garth brooks reminds me a lot of taylor swift; totally not my jam but you do you...

    Dominate Person - Indefinite Duration

    ...how would you characterise dominate person cast with indefinite duration?..

    ...upcasting dominate person at eighth level can maintain up to eight hours with concentration, so i'd be inclined to consider twenty-four hours duration equivalent to a ninth-level spell, but perhaps i'm under-gauging the difference in power between eighth and ninth-level spells?..

    ...regardless, in this particular case it was cast with indefinite duration plus disadvantage on the saving throw against a hostile player character, which i'd like to translate into mechanical terms: maybe a ninth-level casting with heightened metamagic plus silvery barbs?..

    ...i'm playing with a DM who has a poor grasp of fifth-edition's mechanical balance and i'd like to help him understand just how adversarial his homebrew and houserule tendencies are leaning, especially for early tier-two gameplay...
