This is actually really strong for a max level artificer as they get a +1 to all saves for each attunement

Just because someone buy/use a product from a company doesn’t mean they like the CEO.

I wonder if the steam deck will work for you. Its sacrifice of physical keyboard for portability will probably be the deal breaking issue if I were to guess, but not sure. I’ve seen plenty of people use them as computers for various field projects not game related. It’s cheapest is 350 if you don’t need a lot storage on the device and the storage is upgradeable. It’s compatible with normal USB c hubs for if you do need a physical keyboard or w/e. There are definitely some hangups that may make it undesirable and from what you described some of them are definitely possible, ie if you want to pull it out in the field and do a lot of typing without setting up a dock and whatnot, it won’t work for your needs. But if the fieldwork with it is mostly just start a program and connect a USB data source, and most typing will be somewhere with a desk (home office or w/e) then it may work.

I was personally looking for a Linux compatible laptop a while back (admittedly I asked the wrong community), and eventually came to the conclusion that my wife’s steam deck was actually a great solution for my needs, the main times I needed a keyboard I could just setup a simple dock and plug one it (though if you get a USBC or Bluetooth keyboard the only use for the dock is for holding it upright or additional peripherals), and most of my on the go use of it doesn’t need a lot of typing.

Very similar here, windows 11 being shittier and forced further pissing me off as windows 10 was supposed to be their last release shifting to a service model.

I’ve still yet to see a convincing reason windows 11 is an improvement in any way over 10.

Then steam decks came out with a solid proton version, and my only reason to stay on windows evaporated. I didn’t even try dual booting windows.

Works great for moon druids too, to give them a ranged option in wild shape.

Its funny, I’m currently using popos and my experience printing was easier than windows by a mile. Literally like 2 buttons clicks in the first related menu I found.

Likely depends on what’s needed/used as feed

Honestly, if they caught the hint, understood what it meant, and took action, that would be a miracle and would totally be worth some cheese.

It does, but giving a warlock enough dex (which considering they dont get heavy armor prof is reasonable) to pass a dex save occasionally and like 18 hp is all you would need for this to be a major issue.

You keep doing that to older DnD players too, except you drop hints that the enemies are in a cult that has been giving them power and when the wizard does fireball them, the wizard gets hit by a dozen hellish rebukes from all the young warlocks they just hit.

What changed? I thought that is still what they did.

As written in the spell description of dispel magic, a 3rd level dispel magic also can dispel a 9th level spell with only a check, that didn’t stop them from writing some things that explicitly stated that dispel only works for that effect if cast at 9th level.

I think the intent is to show untrained instinctual responses, not learned responses, I’m not sure though some of this chart I find odd, still parsing it to figure out what

Just for clarification, she died in the movie from “skin suffocation”, not irl.

The coloring made me think the cat was on a half finished pizza at first, which certainly changed the tone of things

I need to know what manga this is

Same thing for any other software, see if you can get it running in wine, and see what the alternatives are and try them out until you find a solution you like. You need to accept there may be change, and may need to experiment and hit up Google to find solutions, but solutions do exist.

From a quick Google search, i found about 4/5 potential open source options

FreeCAD would probably be what I try first, but it’s hardly the only option and seen some people complain that it feels archaic (but it’s FOSS). I’ve also seen draftsight recommended a few times, and it has a free trial but is not free.

Also apparently fusion360 has a web interface that may be usable.

I think its more the first line of defense, they are not there to kill, they are there to basically state I don’t want you here without provoking a lethal response from whoever is encroaching on them. It causes a lot less death of their males since they are known that they are not a threat, reducing the overall attrition of them over time and making life easier on the hive. The females with the stingers come out if something is a real threat, ie something messes with the hive or queen.

Honestly, kinda reminds me of British (and other non-militarized) police. Don’t send guns to every problem as most can be solved without it and some are made worse by their presence.

Just checked the app on my phone, 0 bites used, I don’t really think they get any live data from it.

Reborn tabaxi artificer armorer with a mechanically different though RP similar “living armor”. The living armor is the reason i was “reborn” as its keeping me alive longer but the curse of the living armor is of divine nature as i stole it from an evil cult, so removing it required a monumental effort (high level NPCs basically didnt exist).

The character reached an actual satisfying conclusion as there was an “enlightenment” challenge we managed to find that was heavily skill based and artificers are obscenely good at skill challenges (dm also liked tool checks where relevant, and was lenient with the skill training rules, reborn helped too, resulted in being able to roll d20+stat+prof*expertise+int+guidance(d4)+reborn(d6) on checks i needed to push). The enlightenment ultimately lead to access to enough divine power to break both the curse of the armor and of my undeath.

Ultimately though, despite how fun the RP around it was, it was one of my more OP characters considering how much it trivialized skill checks which that DM really loved.

I tried and failed to tone it down with my next character, which thanks to party dynamic became the single most OP BS i ever made even if it wasnt crazy good alone. Wanted to make a magic infiltrator and went with changeling + aberrant mind sorcerer. Ended up getting a shadowfell shard too. Mindsliver leading to a subtle quickened shadowfell shard boosted CC spell (fav was psychic lance since it wasnt concentration and almost nothing is immune to incapacitated, though hold person, and hypnotic pattern, and the like were also thrown frequently too) was an obscenely powerful combo, and since another new player made a DPS rogue+gloomstalker build, the only way for anything to have any chance of living is lots of legendary resistance and an obscene health pool. This was also a crazy fun build, that the power of it ended up being its downfall as everything we fought ended up being several CR higher than anyone of our level had any right to tangle with. (also yes, i know you can’t normally subtle + quicken, read the Psionic Sorcery power of aberrant sorcerers)
