Math is evil.

Freehold's jade amulet of protection from Alton Brown grants a +4 to his Fort save. Similarly, lisamarlene's fresh cookies rations grants a +2 to her save. Everyone else in the thread takes 1 point of Taint from the corrupting effects of mathematics in the Shadowlands OffTopiclands. Celestial Hippeh Lawyer, due to your current low hit points and very low caffeine points, this proved fatal; you are now "pining for the fjords."

Wait- that can't- Noooooooo... {fades from existence }

Ah, but I have the Pact of the Numerologist class feature! I am immune to all Math-based deductions and divisions, while retaining full advantage of all additive and multiplicative benefits thereof!

Rule logarithm and log tan rule all!

... oh, you're dead. Well, even I can't divide by zero.

Imposter! You dare steal my face, and then mock me?!

Two! Two other imposters!! Ahahaha!! Lightning strikes as thunder rumbles

loads shotgun I have you now.

You who seek the negation of mathematics, yet equip yourself with the products of their derivatives! Know that without the radical developments of their function, your weaponry would be null! Uuuahahahahahah!

laugh all you want, just stand still...aims

That which is not dead cannot be divided by zero!

You'll be divided by...however many of this buckshot hits you.

Hah, you fool! Like all transcendental entities I remain no matter how many times I am divided! My variables are infinite!

Last week, my players struggled against rust monsters and an erynies, so I just asked in group chat "How many rust monster/erynies hybrids am I throwing at you guys tonight?" Quickly, one responded "-12". I said "Twelve? That's exactly what I was thinking!" They fired back with "You missed the minus sign in front." To which I said "I am a math Sith. I only deal in absolute values."

Tell them it could be worse. You could be coordinating an inversion of the imaginary. How can they slay that which only exists conceptually? Your swords are useless against negatives' roots!

I wore my Pi Day earrings, with a slice of key lime pie earring on one ear and a pi symbol earring on the other, because math rules all the parts of the universe that aren't governed by chaos. And pie.

There, Freehold, I said it.

Yes, unite. Cosine yourself to a parallel existence, derived from all factors of your limits. Be free, unbound, radical even. For in this you will calculate proof.

Mrs Sunrise and I have been playing cards, which has gotten me calculating texas holdem odds. Everything seems to make sense, except for my flush odds. If you're into poker or math, I'd appreciate a look-over!

Yes. You assume that the first two cards are of the same suit, which isn't valid. Here's a nice detailed discussion of how to get the probability.

While I am glad you have found something to get you through these dark days, this is indeed the practice of the speakable arts. Please report to your nearest Freehold for Renewal.

Alternatively, slip into the dreaming derivative, descend into algorithms from whence there will be no remainder, and cosine your soul to the deepest depths of operations.
