  • Was feeling alright this morning with a decent amount of energy. Starting exercising again on my work break but my office is not cooling me down enough.

    Currently running a program (software dev) that’s taking ages to finish so I feel like I’m not putting in enough effort but can’t do much about it.

    Going to paint some miniatures and play BG3 when I get home which is always good.

    Overall I’d say pretty decent and an improvement over my last week :) Just trying to make small improvements to my daily life helps in a big way.







  • You should be able to hide behind waist high cover in front of you as one action, then fire out of it immediately after as another action.

    There’s probably a firing angle that you could still do that for a wall corner too. Also I want to point out that you won’t be able to stride out of a hidden position because you would lose hidden as soon as you stride. You would need to use the sneak action and end that movement behind something else that breaks line of sight because ending a move action in direct line of sight makes you “observed” instead of “hidden”.


  • I remember reading a comment about this when it was posted elsewhere a while back. They said at the time that the mask was actually not as creepy as we think it is now. We have generations of people that have grown up watching horror movies and playing video games like FNAF that have altered our perception of creepy. In the same way clowns used to not be creepy. The comment also mentioned that since Mickey was a beloved icon for children it actually comforted them to wear a mask in that form. Also it’s worth noting that there were much more horrific things occurring daily for them so this was probably quite tame in comparison.

    This comes from someone else who heard about it from their grandparents so take it with a grain of salt, but it wasn’t necessarily a scary thing for them at the time.


  • This is indeed an unpopular opinion!

    But I’ve worked in fast food so I cannot in good conscience agree with it. I have some appreciation for assertive people with legitimate complaints, but “Karen’s” as we know them are not that. They tend towards illegitimate and illogical complaints because they seem to feel entitled to get what they want, sometimes regardless of what they specifically asked for.

    Nevertheless it’s a hospitality workers endless burden to deal with these types. I understand the specific merits of what your post outlines, I just don’t like it 🙂



  • It might be due to creatures with the undead trait die immediately at 0 HP (not to dying 1 condition). So they might have wanted a similar vibe to actual creature revenants but without removing player character survivability. Also the actual undead heritage you are referring to gets Basic Undead Benefits which notably stops them from dying at 0hp immediately, but also gives immunity to death effects and better vision, undead hunger etc. On the other end, an Undead heritage cannot have stabilize cast on them but a revenant can, undead are destroyed if they die so cannot be brought back to life again, whereas the Revenant can keep being brought back to life and become Revenant2 I guess.

    So the Revenant background gives some aspects of the undead without giving all the full blown benefits of an entire heritage option and not as many drawback either. I’m seeing it now as Revenant == Undead-lite.
