Just go Final Fantasy VII, everyone is a fighter but they also have Materia slots.

Are Empyreans immune to helms of opposite alignment? And does it say what happens if the PCs go "We'll free you, but only if you swear an oath to serve us forever/protect the mortals from divine threats/give us your divine sparks and become mortal, you know what lets do that now it'll make figh...

Does it say what happens if the PCs just say to the Vampire and the Minotaur "Hey, we're putting a Pantheon togther and need some token evil gods, want in?"

There's Dominion Tank Police, where people have to wear oxygen masks when they do outside because of a "bacterial cloud" and general air pollution. But while omnipresent, it's just window dressing, with the plot mainly being about police in tanks blowing stuff up.

Manpower and logistics are money issues. The way you get more logistics and manpower towards a specific thing as a state government is you spend more money on those things. It's not magic. You don't just throw a huge wad of cash into a pentagram and burn it while chanting. You have to actually buil...

The problem with New York's unemployment system isn't a lack of motivation. It was just never designed to handle so many unemployment requests at once. This isn't a money issue. This is a logistics issue, a manpower issue, and a "We're using still 50 year old Mainframes that only understand COB...

But I'm glad we have you here to minutely analyze the slightest wording of a Cuomo conference on demand in this very important fact check thread where people regularly assert that the United States is going to break up into into multiple nation state pacts. Stupid theory maps like the one Frank pos...

So the important thing to remember about shops being ordered open is that customers don't magically appear. More than 70% of people are fearful to go to the fucking grocery store right now, business is not going to be normal in salons, sit down restaurants, and movie theaters. It just really obviou...

. That said: God help me, but I sympathize with them despite making things worse from a health perspective. Rent and bills aren't being suspended so I absolutely understand people deciding the roll the dice on a pandemic. Having your lungs turn to pudding is bad, but so is not being able to eat. Re...

So if your character is the child of a dogfucker, you are born in a litter of puppies. And if you later have sex with your sister, that's good if she can't talk and bad if she can. Because if she can't talk, your sister is a literal actual dog who happens to be a kinfolk and your children will be &...

How long is it going to take for sufficient medical research to create a good consensus on how Covid-19 moves around? We're still at the stage of "t-shirt masks help some, probably" when it comes to safety measures. We have a decent understanding right now, droplets of respiratory fluids ...

Is it legal for a state to block people from another state? Ie: Can Washington say that people from South Dakota can't come here? Generally, unconstitutional. But for specific public health emergencies, precedent says yes, it's legal. Last time it was done was in 1900, though. Texas closed its bord...

Wizards learning from scrolls was the way that it worked in AD&D. It was underpowered balanced compared to Clerics who just dumpster-dived the entire list every night and an attentive DM might veto the most obviously OP ones. It's actually a good way not just to limit power, but to structure gro...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EV5q6jjWoAAftHg.png Well boys and girls, now we are all Communists. -Username17 Recently, someone said that we need to stop Communists from taking advantage of the COVID epidemic by disolving the WHO and creating an international single payer healthcare system where vacc...

The great bit is the part where the British press is starting to notice that Johnson nominating Raab to be his successor doesn't actually have the force of law and the UK doesn't have a formal means of investing executive power to another person while the Prime Minister is incapacitated. The Queen ...

Consider, for example, loot shooters. Destiny, Borderlands, things like that. In a loot shooter you have guns. Lots and lots of guns. Powerful, special, basically magical guns drop everywhere all the time. And you're going to Pokemon those things and put them in your golfbag until its overflowing. B...

Also the choice is not "keep the economy running and accept collateral damage or tank stocks to save lives" it is "how bad does that market crash when somewhere between 0.8% to 4% of your population and twice that number of your healthcare workers die of the same cause within an 18 m...

Here's an idea. Boons A boon can be an item or ability obtained at a critical point in an adventure, or at the culmination, as a reward. Boons may be granted to the whole party by the DM at no cost. This is encouraged if those boons will be necessary for future adventures. For example, the DM can gi...

You really don't need to limit slots unless those powers stack or synergize. If you have a ring of firewalking and a ring of waterbreathing taking up the same slot, then you're just going to have a bunch of bullshit bookkeeping with the character swapping rings all the time depending on the environm...

Four classes of cyberlimb. Medical, stealth, obvious, and second hand. Medical cyberlimbs are simple replacements for lost limbs. They have the same stat values as their owner, are dirt cheap, and have minimal capacity for extras, usually just a datajack port. They can be covered with artificial ski...

I don't understand what I just read...

Reading Robert E Howard's Shadows in the Moonlight, Conan gets KO'd in the middle of talking to pirates (someone throws a rock at him while he's trying to explain that since he killed their captain he should be the new captain). There was a dainty princess ally hiding from the pirates. The princess...

Storage is also a problem. Keeping liquid nitrogen liquid for any substantial length of time requires far more insulation than any sane person would put on a gun.

For practical logistics reasons, you want weapons that don't require constant heavy maintenance.
