I usually sleep 7ish hours when not fucked these days
I'm usually fucked, so it's more 4 or 12, but

my sleep cycle used to be ~3 hourly, so I used to do 6 or 9.
Now I think it's closer to 3.5 hours,
Voluntarily?
i get 6
or is your brain also quirky like that?
I'm suffering from long covid : D
🅱️ovid
I did read you have to use a cane when checking some of your old stuff
Is that related?
yeah
god im so pissed i dodged covid entirely until the schools reopened
and my mom has gotten covid twice
from the kids she teaches
I thank my ocd ass for being so careful
ive been supposed to buy a cane for liek 3 years but instead i just simply struggle to stand up using like shelves and walls and stuff
I almost got hit by a car which did my hip, then got hit with covid just after - I was paranoid about it, but didn't have a mask cos I was working in a kitchen that day, and the company ignored the limits and overstaffed hard
and my hip has mostly recovered as of the start of the month
but I still have dizzy spells, and I tire out very quickly, so still have the cane for stability
oof
grab one from amazon, s'pretty handy honestly - helped a lot
That fucking sucks
i just am so vain
i cant figure out a way to make a cane look dripped out for my aesthtic
so like
do i like way stupider
strugglign to stand off the floor?
yes
I grabbed a few of these
100 times yes
i do like the folding ones
or the telescoping orw/e its called
im also just broke
ah yeah thats what i thought
Im still on the lookout for a solid wooden hafted metal topped cane, but
atm, I'm coping so
how sturdy is that badboi?
Arco, are you also fucked up like that?
no I just want to know
the one pictured... medium?
But that was a cheapo one I got so I always had one in the backpack, but it's like... 1mm steel shaft.
The main one I've been using is the same style, but a 2mm steel shaft, so a lot sturdier
nice, thats smart putting one in your backpack
How much weight do you put into it?
like, how bad do you have to use it?
when you do
sometimes not a lot, sometimes most of it...
the main one and wooden ones hold up well tho
Taking notes, cuz I was told my back might be a problem by my early 20s
and I'm currently on those so
gulp
absolutley terrible picture, but I'm not redoing it so
considering something like this though
hope don't have to use them
bh is done
thank you love
jesuschrist
Chane
I don't want it in my house
Might need to add a tw for every possible topic when I ask people to check my stuff
"Hey, check my weapon rework! TW, EXISTENTIAL DREAD, WAR, SUIDICE"
I do like to ramble
Like, to your profile in general?
see, for how they fit my hand, I prefer the dome grip ones.
But they're too long, and I've not got round to shortening them.
But, using the short-cross grips, I've realised they're basically a warhammer, so carrying one is not only good for my health, it's bad for anyone who tries anything too. xD
I'll add a cane weapon
In your honour
And Bunni's
and I guess future's me
Might be a good idea
cane weapon poggers
Cane weapons are so cool
like
go off queen
but the queen is an old man
with severe back problems
In england you can carry a sheathed blade on a cane iirc
do clerics not get armor and shield trainings?
kk
they rawdog the armor
Why the interest in bh?
i got a cleric in my party lol
Do you wanna play one?
They get good defensive spells already
but, why the intrest in bh?
you dm or play?
dm
also got a player
Oh
well my bloodhunter
/j
How's this for indomitable?
forgot to add level
That is super illegal
15-25 years in jail illegal iirc
Carrying a blade without a reason (I.e. On the way to work, where you will use it) will usually result in confiscation, and either a fine or short sentence?
Carrying a sword, is a no.
Carrying a concealed sword breaks 3-4 statutes and you'll get screwed
It's part of why I like the cane hammer thing
Cos it's a legitimate and legal carry
I mean, it makes sense
Something I kinda want to do, is get a ~3mm wall steel tube, then an allu rod to go inside, a spring steel head and cap, for a proper hefty fancy stick, but sounds like money
Might as well embrace the vibe if you have to use it anyway
Indeed
What's the string for? resistance?
It's when you scramble an amiibo
Ah, you see, one is for casual Barbarian players, the other is for competitive
More like a Weird ol' Yanky-man
catwheeze
Tumblr did split with nsfw content creators heading to only fans/reddit/Twitter
What?
But the sfw side of Tumblr is doing pretty good
If it ain't controversial it ain't popular
Tumbles biggest issue is that it's hard to montonize so it's kinda a toxic assesst for anyone who owns it
Yeah, it drives away its users
Like twitter?
That's why Elon is so desperate
Well Twitter is hard to montonize bcuz Elon musk fucked it all up
twitter makes way less money than he expected
Tumbles layout make it's hard to shove ads into it and the user base hates data mining and will leave over data harvesting
The cycle of life, but I haven't seen anything new posted from there, everything seems like an old repost
I watch PM seymour, that's all the tumblr I absorb tbf
They have rotten my mind in unfixable ways
A lot of Tumblr spread is more of breaching containment and ppl referencing stuff rather than Tumblr post being posted everywhere
And voiceovers
That too 💀
If you cut down the middle you get Loss
It seems like the new gen of voice actors all will have done tumblr voiceovers
The recent colombo revival had a big presence on Tumblr
Lmao yeah
and the gianny voiceovers
I also think Tumblr culture is less referencing specific post or w/e and more of an actual culture of the way people talk and think and feel about things
It's still the side character arc, he's in the age where he can't allineate with any side
Are you going to read through everything?
If so, tw
a lot of stuff happens in that convo
Ye
Not as good as "Kenergy"
Read the book, read the book, lick the book, lick the book, bookbookbook
But what aspect of tiktok specifically? The short video format or the fact that it's full of crap content?
Bro are you just digging through this whole Convo
I laughed at this, because the image of chinese people having closed eyes came immediatly to me
I think so
I'm guilty of doing that from time to time
It does seem far easier to just abandon the planet rather than save it. I hate humanity
Especially in balance forums - I wanna make sure that suggestions I give factor in what other people have said
Chile el mejor país de Chile
Yo whaddup @glacial cove in the future, when you get to the bottom of this thread 
Ye but this is quite different
You right
Lemme take a gander 👀
for more dynamism
Been a while since I took a look at fighting styles, lemme crack it open quickly
No expression
I wanna preface, I've got no stake in the whole martials VS casters debate and whether one is stronger than the other - I like classes having options during customization, but knowing whether a wizard is objectively better than a ranger is not something in my forte
I hear that a lot
With that said lemme take a read through
dw, I just want to make fun things
🫡
and my phylosophy is, options for everyone
I have encountered more decent to good doctors than assholes, so I can count myself lucky. The ones that were assholes tho, gosh such a pain, even prescribing wrong shit
The what?
Oh
Seba why are you reviving the conversation
I
Seba plz you dont need to ping me every time lmao
I could be wrong, but I don't think blind really does anything new outside of the vanilla blind fighting style?
Nope, for now
And I don't think it solves the attack rolls have advantage/disadvantage problem with blindsight
At least RAW
In a way, yes. People killing themselves is always tragic, but if they have made up their choice, I don't think it's bad to give them such a method.
@glacial cove get out of the past!
"You can see an invislbe creature within that range" they still benefit from invisible, which RAW means they still have adv and dis (I could be wrong, but pretty sure that's how it works RAW - fact check?)
It's RAI vs RAW
oh shit
Also, gtg - playing dominion with the fam
you are right
I'll let you know if I win
that is right
Gotta fix that
Yeah it's a weird quirk with invisible
bc 5e sure makes sense
We argued that the advantage is not for being invisible itself
and a power up you get for being invisible
the only way it makes sense
fuck invisible creatures
all my homies hate invisibility
It's not hard to imagine that
ha, only granpas have a bedtime, cool kids don't go to sleep
(Until their parents come with the belt)
Agreed
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Screaming so hard rn
https://youtu.be/To3QYzWNaoA?t=43
Nah, it's all about how you use them
bruh
Preparing for the day he has to hit kids with it
Honestly, can’t wait for that day
You know, there might be some umbrella designed ones
Fancy long hammer
Codumpo
Too late, already read the whole thing before getting here
It was really interesting
interesting or fasciniating is what most of the psychatrist say about me as well
Good philos
kcaJ iarumaS
True, although I can't remember who gave them a bigger range
Goddamit Wizards
I just hadn't read a good convo like that in a long time. I know I didn't have to respond to it, but I did it anyways
lmao nah thats fair
And I'm still laughing because of how delayed I was
Anyways, if you are going to make all FG pb based, why not give 5xpb times in feet of blindsight?
I was considering just that
For Dual and Great I have no idea
@torpid bronze made the thing, its at the end of the class description
I still haven't added the fighter features to the table tho
oh i like the total of 6/8 or doubles
Ye, a subclass built around max values would be very inconsistent
And barely a class
like champions and brutes
lmao yeah
I like great weapon fighting - Seems a lot of fun. Just make sure you specify it only applies to two-handed weapons.
Same goes for a lot of these
Dual wielding does feel quite strong to me - What was wrong with RAW?
raw it just feels bad bcuz you're only "gaining" one attack and most martial builds already go for a BA attack
so you're just making 3 way more shitty attacks than your comrade with a hand cross bow or a pole arm
Oh wait - This is an upgraded section
but yea :3
That's more a problem with duel wielding than the fighting style though, right?
well yeah but like its mostly a problem with GWM and SS
which is what makes the 1d4 pam bonus attack so much better than the DW one
not to mention DWing has a bigger feat tax
or the feat and fighting style
rather
i think duel wielding gets a lot better when you just add the two damage die together for each attack you make
Well ideally, you forget about martial feats on this weaponry
yeah
i just think like 1d12 should be a great sword and 2d6 should be duel wielded short swords or w/e
Wait so, you suggest additive die?
That's crazy
Never done before
I'll be rich
You can do that with quick iirc
You can make a free attack with a quick weapon
At stage 2
Lvl 5
yeah but i mean like if youre a fighter with 4 attacks if you're duel wielding you make 8 attacks
but just doubling your attacks breaks things
like hex
From the top (since I was looking at the wrong area)
- Blind is cool but seems the same 👍
- Am I reading Dual wrong? Or is that... just RAW?
- Great Weapon seems great, and is a nice buff to the non 2d6 great weapons while not being that much of a boost mathematically
- Interception is just Protection from the PHB?
- Ranged feels the strongest out of all the options, and it scales much more potently than the others, while also being the most boring
- Steet is neat

Blind now ignores invis, as suggested
Dw now adds your ability modifier by default to the dmg roll
Interception is the same, ye
Ranged is just better archery on the long run
Mb, I meant RAW rules for dual wielding the mechanic
But I do agree it's rather boring
I don't know the exacts of it but I'd imagine an attack roll bonus is stronger than a damage bonus due to on-hit abilities
Meanwhile, most other fighting styles that boost offensive power do so by boosting damage - Not attack
Wait, is archery +2 on dmg rolls?
RAW yeah
Well if you have more free time and are a masochist, I just sent my full base fighter rework (first draft) and the 1st subclass
I gtg sleep, it's almost 2 am and I need to be on the airport by 5
: D
I'll glance it for now, but it's 12:00 and I haven't done the worldbuilding I promised myself I'd do today
No pressure
It's missing some base features rn (Fast movement) and many of the other fighting styles it has access to, unless you're purposefully limiting them
Although if fast movement is just +speed, that encroaches on monk and I'm adverse to that
It's a fighter rework
I just copy and pasted the table for barb
Catsorry
No, attack rolls
At least the PHB ver
string?
spring steel is more flexible than regular steel.
So, you'd use say, a 15mm bore 1" diam mild steel pipe
then a 1/2" spring steel core - likely sticking out the bottom some to mount the foot on.
This'll give a bit of flex and suspension effect for a more comfortable step, as well as added strength when used to strike.
But spring steel is spensive
so using the mild steel outer is way cheaper
think, £100 for core + pipe, or ~150-200 for just spring steel
that said, for my purposes, just... that 1" mild steel rod might be enough, and would cut the weight in half, from 2kg to 1
And I guess you do it yourself
Like, you hand craft it
Right?
Or do you then commission it?
one or the other yeah
Btw, do you have any idea how to approach this kind of... thing?
I'm trying to make exploding die
But a class based solely on that would be inconsistent af
this feels... excessive
Ye, made it at 4 am
so, you could stearmline a bunch of that with like, 2+, 4+, 7+, etc
Or so
but even then... its.. not sure how to fix overall, havent the time to give right now sorry xD
gotta sort puters and cats
No worries
i dont like it
i only like exploding dice when they explode in the highest number
also, what happens to finesse characters :(
This is str based
Not all subclasses have to be inclusive
To all playstiles
I'll also remake the arcane archer and samurai
For a ranged and a dex melee build
Yes but you can't build a subclass round that
Its too inconsistent
@mystic sequoia you're right, I was wrong
curse this convenienetly made chart of all the fighting styles https://blackcitadelrpg.com/fighting-styles-5e/
it lists archery as +2 damage
Can I also get some weapons?
I do like your weaponry
@mystic sequoia why not put the properties on the same level as ability score improvements and, similar to Tasha's optional features like Martial Versatility, you can just say "Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can do one of the following" and then just say "Make all your trained properties 1 stage higher" "Choose a new property to become trained with at 1st stage"
I reworded this from
"and you can use both properties"
to
"and you are trained with both properties"
I like the change
I put them in levels I consider mostly dead
But, they are subject to change
I'm not tied to that progression so, idk
Maybe a more math person can help w how to make the progression
hmmm
welp, I'll rule it as I mentioned, just bc that make things easier to keep track of
yk that an ASI also comes with a TI immediately
This is weaker than yours btw, bc now you only get to choose to upgrade 1 or gain a new one, I like this more
also
you mispelled Appalling 2 times in your doc as Appaling instead
What do you mean?
ovions fighting styles
one is unarmored defense
which is dex + str/con
monks get unarmed defense
which is dex + wis
You wanna see something funny?
That's how it looks
I wouldn't have said anything otherwise
Iunno what you're doing, or what your browser is doing, but when I open link, it do dis
https://i.imgur.com/ueBjFbu.png
Ok so, for some reason I did the usual which is open the picture and then open the link
But doing so from the message somehow gives me the right resolution
mmmm discord things
Adding Str is the only thing that doesn't make sense to me, other than that, meh
Sure, shield thingy, but whatever
yeah but you can also do dex + con and you already want con for hp anyway
I guess you're right, I was thinking it from the Barbarian perspective, where maxing Dex instead of Str ain't that good
I wonder why Bards get it
They should at least use Charisma instead of Con
bards shouldnt have unarmored defense at all stop giving full casters acs over 10 they dont deserve it
I mean, I know, but if you're going to give them that, at least it should make sense
I dunno why I add letters to words like that
I'm supposed to be good at English?
I'm supposed to be good at breathing and I can't even do that right

/srs or /hj?
I'm on their side, casters weakness should be low AC, but they get so many spells to fix that
i just think that casters should have to invest resources into everything they do
and armor should include that
things like mage armor are fine
but just dipping into fighter (for the absurd action surge -> two spells interaction) to get armor is super viable
the fighter dip isnt even for just for armor proff bcuz action surge w ould be worth dipping for anyway
Well, AS is a 2 level dip
/srs
Mage Armor is too good, it shouldn't last that long, or have conc.
mage armor also eats a slot that you would other wise use on shield
Just look at barkskin for comparison, and that spell is trash
Yeah, which is a +5 for a round vs a +3 for 8 hours
true
taking mage armor down to a +2 or something would be fine
like compare it to shield of faith lmao
I buffed mage armour... And shield
Or a studded leather
How and why?
lmao why
Because it felt right
that shield is freaking busted
and Mage Armor isnt any better, also why are you using British spelling!
Honestly... It's more of a trap than anything.
Sure, you can increase, but you're also spending fatter slots on it.
Precious, precious slots
Because I'm English peasant.
Also, yeah the mage armour is pretty balanced, but I love adding upcast to things.
Also, makes it pretty buffed on a warlock tbh
fair point abt the warlock, I still dont think Casters should just get high AC as easily
Also, fwiw, I have a house rule that mostly evens this out
onednd made it so action surge cant use the magic action
You get a casting limit, equal to the tier iirc (though it might be Prof -2... Actually)
You can cast as many spells as your action economy allows, up to to that limit, and 1 can be up to the highest you can cast
So none of that "cantrip bonus action, reaction" crap.
Just, 1 up to max, rest at limit
This
My casters get no armor
clerics get up to medium armor for subclasses
Wizard w a artif dip goes crazy
give wizards a d4 hit die and no ability to use armor
I'm working on this rule
basically
if fullcaster
add con mod/2 to hp
if martial, full con mod to hp
cuz it crazy how wizards are like, 2 avr under fighters and barbs
That's not squishy
Specially cuz casters want high con anyway
so, by simple math, casters and martials will have same con modifier overall
Almost same ac, very close hp
where's the "squishy"?
nah bruh obvi we should let wizards be the best at every aspect of the game theyre called wizards of the coast after all
The problem for me is that wizards ain't even getting a lot
its more of a spells thing
if you look at wizards as a class they kinda meh
very bare bones imo
yeah but theyre just the best at spells
you gain at least 1 spell slot every level as well tho
dont you?
so you even get to steal the rogues liner power curve
Oh boi, you ain't gonna like this. Because he is the oh so feared Britishman, he is trying to conquer the tabletop world by canging all the books into british spelling
I wouldn't have a problem with Mage Armor if it weren't for the busted duration and ALL THE OTHER SPELLS AND EFFECTS THAT INCREASE THE CASTER'S AC. Of all the things, I hate it exists along Bladesinger's stupid af AC boost. If it weren't for that, I would root for this spell. In fact, I like the upcasting you gave it.
And shield didn't deserve upcasting. Like it or not, that +1 with every level up will matter, though less with every upcast. It effectively means you can pour your low level slots into becoming untouchable, while spending conc. on your very damaging or other battle ending spells.
Props on the player for going full melee with the caster. But that's still a travesty.
Not to mention, Shield is used by many other non-full casters as well. Probably the best spell an EK can use. It's awful.
I thought their EI would only let them cast it as a 1st-level spell.
And it's not like they learn the spell with it
The ei locks, but if they learn it from one of the assorted other sources, pact casting it is pretty worth
That "no more than one of which..." was hard to read. Took me several tries to understand what it said.
(I also made an illusory armour spell, that lets you Summon certain fake armours, at given levels, but you have to be proficient in the armour)
Yeah... Get that.
Never been able to clean up the wording better
Oh yeah, that
Hexblade also gives Shield
Did someone say fix wording?
Maybe "...you can cast any number of spells, limited by the required rules for casting time. However, only one of these spells can be of a higher level than that of your Secondary Spell level, as shown in the Secondary Casting table"
Or instead of "required rules" you could say "limited by the actions and reactions you can take". You might say that ignores spells with longer casting times, but those are covered by somewhere in the rules saying you have to spend your action every turn and blah blah blah.
@crystal thistle I'm too eepy to scroll up
what mistakes did I make on wording?
and formatting
#1113097796954890261 message
OH SHIT, I kinda like that.
Fixed
What about that?
MINOR SPELLING MISTAKE
AHHHH
I like mine more lols,
wait actually im gonna make a change
I was consideting that you may get other from other resources
There
like what?
uhhhh
idk
a feat?
a feat would give you one stage 1 property caps
unless you get trained and can improve it
idk maybe you want your Barbarian to have Vector
this feat will be locked to martials right?
Yes
Just like there are (spellcasting) feats
Like metamagic adept
well ig this solves it so yea, saying "from the ones you chose at 1st" was bad not just bc of that, but also bc it would not allow you to upgrade a property you learned during an ASI level
why can't I twin spell my sword?
.gif
To lock it you could require one big physical stat. Like 15 Dex or Str
INCREASES BY ONE MORE FOR EVERY SPELL SLOT???
Holy christ
Thats so cracked
its basically +14 to AC if using a 9th level slot
He's gone mad
shield is a +10 to Warlocks max level
mhm.
And consider the above.
Increases by 1 per sure.
But thats still only a turn for a slot - and you can still get hit.
Even the 9th level slot - there's still things that can hit, and everything can crit - for 1 turn.
Invuln makes you straight immune to damage for 1 minute.
what do stages mean?
ah, nvm, found it
not really considering balance yet, but I think it's alright
Biggest ones balance-wise are might
and uh, stab
and both are alright by the math I've done
< Not good at math
There's a table Ovion sent avobe w the exact calculations for might n such
But I don't understand much
Anything jumps out as bad?
Or confusing
etc
that's mainly what I'm looking for
clarity
n fun factor
how is whip cleave
Cuz y'know
prety anime boys use whips as aoe
And tbh it doesn't break anything, does it?

heh, vector whip trait is literally a spell I just finished today
ye
so... vector is kinda op tbh
saveless forced movement, with multiattack that's an easy 30 feet of movement
or... 130 feet at max level
if you are within a quarter mile of any environmental danger, that's a potential instagib

Any recomendations?
from my own cantrip I was just working on: forcing enemy movement is very strong
especially with no size requirements or save
like, whip man slaps terrasque and sends it flying into nearby ravine
also, you can hurl upwards
can only imagine if you were like, on a ship, where even 10 feet of movement is enough to remove many enemies from a fight by throwing overboard
perhaps
and, you forego damage to use the property
How do you word the hurl to be floor limited?
even 5 feet of movement btw is pretty good, it's a free disengage for your ally
I'd keep the hurl limited to the movement of the whip, maybe the bonus is if you would move them into a wall/object they then take the additional damage
"A creature of your size or smaller" might be cleaner
fair
still unsure if Iike stage 2 doubling the distance you throw
that is a magic whip
a whip nonetheless
a "normal whip" is not a weapon
ok well thats a fair point
it should be an improvised weapon if anything
but we are of course talking abt whips as weapons
which, whips ARE a type of weapon in DND
The dnd "whip" is more like that rope with a weigh on the end
it shouldn't even be a weapon option imo lol
imo
I disagree
isn't that like... a flail or something?
There's a specific weapon
that's like
kuserigama or something?
I think so?
the fantasy of the whip wielder is 1000% valid
I believe a non-anime character with a whip could only reasonably focus one target with it at a time
5e is a bit more grounded in reality... not that much but a little
I see cleave as like, the swing continues from the original target to hit more targets
then shoot it
"5e is grounded in reality" brother we throw balls of fire
I did accept whip as cleave because if you want to play that fantasy
it breaks nothing
fair, it's not on the base list for whip
i think
The base list has a property that the weapon has by default, you can learn other properties and build from there
though if you wanna let crazy inventive techniques be valid, imo you should include a rule that just says "If you can convince your DM a weapon should have a technique, it can have it"
That's what fighters get
I just need to pass it to this doc
They basically can get any weapon with any property
At some point
for the records
I did not wanted Whips to get Cleave, I wanted AOE around the character
didja know, 5e whips should look more like this
they were used mainly on peasants for 'crowd control' and fear, and if used as a weapon would be flipped, and the handle used as a club to beat them.
follow up - bullwhips, like they are presented in D&D/RPGs, would do like, 1 slashing at exactly the range of the tip of the whip, and nothing against armour
this has been another episode of "ruining stuff with history" with Ovion
I want 30ft long whips
those exist.
And they would do 1 slashing, at 30ft exactly. 😉
that seems fair
see, thats gotta be at least 15ft
I want thorn whip as a weapon
Well tbf
1d4+4 of 100 is basically 1
Won't kill ya, will hurt
a magic whip that is just thorn whip honestly... could work
No I want a normal whip, but that does what thorn whip does, but not thorny
a commoner has 4 hit points.
Also, I said 1, not 1+stat 😉
1d4+stat is crazy generous to the whip, and pure fantasy, which is fine for the sake of fantasy here
I bet I can kill someone
with a whip
1v1 ovion
my whip vs your cane
I win.
For the simple fact, you have to hit me over 50 times, at optimal distance for me to die.
I just have to block the whip with the stick while moving towards you, then bonk you with a metal chunk on a stick a few times
maybe if you can get in and strangle me to death with it, but... iunno that doesn't really feel like it counts
Faye you went to art school dont give yourself that much credit /j/lh
I won't use choke tactics
that's low
I have a cane, 3rd leg for balance
I also did two years of muay thai
And I'm mediocre at it
can ovion say the same?
I'm better with an arming sword and dagger, or two long blades (10-14"), but I was always OK with a staff or polearm and hammer
never really did much shield or spear work funnily enough
and obv these days, I'm looking more at short-stave and hammer work
though I am halfway a cripple so
the real disadvantage is that doesn't bother me
Who gets home advantage?
doesn't really make much of a difference - so long as it's not over 30c, I don't care xD
It matters cuz there's stakes
a 4.000 dollar flight
If I put 4.000 dollars in the line no way I'm losing
What about the closest rabbin?
rabbin?
ok, but... for a start, you're using a bullwhip.
Which... I'm guessing you don't have much experience with? xD
This is a silly hypothetical anyway, but ultimately it comes down to that I feel
thats this type at any rate
you've got no armor
💀 I dont think HEMA practitioners encourage dual wielding
who doesn't have long hair? o-o
usually majestic yes
Ovion is exactly how I imagined him
it's a bit sad atm, cos I just shaved it down to 1/2" for summer
An old man?
with phylosopher beard
or however you write that
For his love of math I just imagine Plato
Or sumth
I mean, HEMA is a relatively new term?
But two knives, or sword + dagger are very valid hema things.
Cos it's classical medieval and ren combat methods
We ain't respecting medieval rules
If we do, I have pocket sand
So, Instantly win
HEMA def does dual wielding
cuz you pbbly have glasses
I didn't say rules, just, that HEMA is fuckin broad in its definition
Because they recognize its superiority, hence why they are too afraid to fight against it
like... what... almost 1,000 years of assorted martial arts across europe?
It broke the meta
or at least 500
Ive def seen HEMA matches with dual wielding
Do you use glasses ovion?
only cos my eyesights fucked
they broke today
Thought so
I'm at genetic advantage
good signt, young, no cane
I can overpower your hema
With my
whip?
Pff
how tf do u use whips?
By whipping them
: )
When in doubt, whip it out
with very specific wrist motions, and practice.
it's a very flashy, telegraphed thing
also, reasonable odds I have more hair
right, I was referencing two long blades you said
How long?
I have 70 cm of hair rn
think seax or dussaks
I just need distance
easy, bet you're not as fast
last I measured it in march, just over 29", so 74cm
I did three years of gimnastics
it's gonna be around 31-33" now I think
Seax I can see it, Idk that they would encourage dussaks
althought, i was thinking much longer blades 💀 this does make it more doable
Drop the whip
Pull his hair
Use him as whip
I'm pretty sure overall dual wielding is mostly not encouraged, a free hand is always optimal
unless its a parry dagger, but parry daggers werent an everyday thing
ohye, I said, 10-14" xD Long knives, not swords.
The ones where you can use em effectively fore and reverse grip
bold of you to assume I can read lenghts
Can't drop my main weapon
If we drop our main weapons is game over
the other has advantage
that'd be... 25-35cm
If I can prone ovion (quite easily)
bold of you to assume I can read lenghts, at all
what is this becoming
about a forearm
Duck tape his hair to your whip
only blade?
yeah, grip extra
hmmmmmmm, idk, I havent seen a dussaks in 6 years lol
There's this really interesting shit with blades, where if it's shorter than your wrist your your elbow, it uses one set of muscles in your arm - making it more effective used with downwards motions, and if it's longer, it's more effective with swinging motions
But have you seen some duke's ass?
no
so with one that's the length of your forearm, with the right grip, you can use it in either orientation as effectively
How long is your cane?
60 cm?
A meter?
ehhh
idk, I havent used a blade other than my foil in a very long time, so i dont remember what type of stress they would put on my arm as a whole
You fool, it's a folding cane, it can be whatever length he wants
bro, size isnt matter you cant go around asking like that
that would be a helioscope cane i dont remember what it was called
Something I intend to either get made when I have the money, or make myself if I get a space where I can set up a workshop, is these
This is no longer a battle of the wits, it's a battle of the dicks
Unless we are comparing how many foot each has
that... doesn't make much sense. xD
I need a 36" cane
It does, I'd have a height advantage
ok, but you're using a whip.
Bold words from someone within dick punching height
I'm 3'
I might be off from a cm or two, it will still hurt
Why are you fighting me now???
I'm just very well folded
What
so here's the thing
Not you specifically, I just promote chaos
you have a roughly 2 second telegraph to strike with that whip
probably more not being experienced with it
I'm not, and it'd likely take me 4-5 seconds to get it rolling at least, so
there that
If I have learned anything from videogames, you can just dodge the whip by stepping into its curve, or dashing under it for straight attacks
That's fair
I'd have to learn whip combat on the fly
even at 2 seconds though, that's a lot of time for you to also have me stay at specifically, the point you can actually do damage
Or you can just catch it with your mouth and suck it like spaghetti
rather than close the 10? feet and hit you with an ersatz mace or warhammer
just go watch Castlevania
Ok, but it's rude if you move, it's not your turn
If you get a secondary weapon, I also do
pick me pick me
I choose gun with bullets
that is the cane.
Er·satz
substitute or imitation
inversely
Physical or emotional?
I had to leave muai thay cuz of several wounds caused by what was literally torture
I am a complete bitch against pinpricks, and have not noticed getting stabbed in the past
So
A whip is lethal against you
A whip made out of pinpricks?
cuz its smol dmg
no, a whip is a slash.
I'm not sure how I'd react to the cut of a whip tbh.
But you'd have to hit me first.
Grab a knife and test it
Economy? 0/100
That's dangerous
Don't
This is a mere hypotetical
where I fly to london and fight him in the big ben
maybe, I'm not amazing at unarmed.
I mainly fight similar to... which one uses hands and knees a lot?
Hand Knee
Fu
is it muat thai actually? xD
Probably
iunno, it's not that, but someone said it was similar to that at one point (whichever one it is, I honestly forget)
I would say K1, but they barely if ever use knees
cos it's more... I am terrible with names
basically, it's a specific street self defence martial art
mhm
that I was tought, but never went far with
I don't know that one, but my next guess was gonna be MMA
and it's similar to some other stuff, but it's not actually structured to rules or an arena
it's specifically about self defence
and that's why it was awful
I'm a twink
Got the shit beat out of me
Several times
I mean, it's awful for a structured martial art with tournaments
If you ever get a name, tag me
its saved my butt irl a few times
I haven't seen this one in action, but what if it is kravmaga
the key... concepts? strategies? are basically:
Expect you'll be in close / at a disadavantage
Aim for soft spots with elbows/knees with short, sharp strikes
I never expected there to be a Street Fight martial arts, cause things there work different
Like, it's less about martial, and more of a doing whatever it works
ye, it's a martial art in the same way that classic martial arts are - ways to actually fight
Yep, not much philosophy or spirituality iirc
so the focus is on knowing what you can do to end things quickly and either incapacitate/kill the opponent to prevent risk to yourself
To be fair, not all martial arts involve spirituality or philosophy
I mean common ones
what's really, really fun - especially here, iunno how much in other places, but people don't expect you to go for the nuts
even criminals, it's ingrained as 'poor form'
The philosophy of not killing your partner in combat, maybe
so often, muggers or people starting shit leave their soft, vulnerable danglies wide open
Yep
"The gentlemens oath"
A good kick can be incapacitating
Or, at least open a window where you can maneuver better
When you kick their nuts, but their nuts kick you back
Not to undermine every other part of the body
I was hit in the jaw once due to poor defense
That sucked ass
Not to mention when you hurt yourself in the process
That's also a thing I said the other day
not everyone can throw a punch
You can punch but, most people I've met would totally hurt themselves by the 2nd punch
Sure, not like it has to do with the opponent having a good block
There are many factors
Yup
yeah
it's part of why the self defence thing is elbows and knees - less small bones to break, less risk to you, and allows your forerms to be focused on defence
cos if you expect to get cut, and cut on the forearm, but don't need that bit to fight, you can end things quicker
it's really fucking rough to do, but an effective method of defence, is block a stab with your arm - you may or may not get hit, but assume you probably will - but assume and ignore that your arm will get fucked up
leaving your other arm free to go in to end it (assuming you have a weapon ideally)
I hurt my finger doing a spar with someone without using any protective gear. I think I hit his elbow when going for a lateral, I didn't notice at the moment. It has been two weeks and it hasn't recovered fully
Mhm
That's why we used equipment to spar
and even still
Tho the trainer did recommend hitting the wall to create wounds on the knuckles and make them stronger
DON'T DO IT
BAD IDEA ALARM
The inflamation went away first week, pain greatly diminished when moving the finger, however, I have yet to fully contract or extend my finger without feeling some pain at the base of the knuckle
wall is a bit hard, unless padded for it.
They tend to use sand for a reason
Regardless I was told I should tap the wall softly to fix the placement of my fingers (aka, I can't form a flat fist), they also told me to do knuckle push ups.
Or maybe it wasn't them, I can't remember that detail
I'm specifically talking about uh
what do u call when skin becomes hard?
calloused
but the sand is hard, and rough, and will toughen the skin
but it also has give, and is soft enough to not break anything, or fuck you up (done right)
punching brick is none of that. xD
I feel like two weeks is the right time to wait before going to a doctor, but I don't have the money nor the time.
I've been applying cold and hot compresses (almost daily) and bandaging my hand for a while
Yeah, I'd say at least check with someone who knows
Hehe, I haven't had something as brutal, but we did have an introductory excercise once that was receiving kicks
Fun stuff
Sadly I don't anyone that knows at a somewhat profesional/experienced degree.
free clinic time then?
We don't have that, as far as I'm aware
what country?
You either have medical whatsicalled or not
Which can cover a lot of the expenses
As long as it's not a particular doctor
One that doesn't work on a nonassociated stablishment
But it's mostly about time, I don't want to make time for this. Specially since it the issue wasn't major and it is recovering
Way too slow for my taste, but I just have a terrible healing factor
thanks love
Is it a comission?
Topple is two times in the barbarian
nah what’s it called the thingy that everyone uses
picrew
yes
Thx, on it
btw
this might be one of the
if not the
also
considering that Barbarians start with 4 Javelins as part of their equipment, I think they should have access to Slow
half of it isn’t dnd
Ohh
fair, fair
What do you think of the new trained btw?
