After rehabbing six broken fingers in three years, I can agree with that.
With the caveat that I'm just thankful I have full range of motion with them.
Edit: If there's a better way to rehab fingers then naked, I haven't heard of it.

So!
My internet might not work, my smallest one may have vomited this morning (again), after days of not doing so (and shortly after his medicine finished), and I may be on my hypothetical way to get my son's leg X-rayed, but that's no reason to not have... wEiRd FaCtOiDs~!
Did you know that there are powerful Christian themes blended with a subtly hidden backstory to King Triton in Disney's The Little Mermaid?
It's kind of amazing!
Most people miss it, but it's pretty clear, he's into "self-help" stuff at the time, even from his first time he appears on screen! The proof is in his chariot: he's been reading The Porpoise Driven Life!
... g'night everybody~!

I will be GMing soon. The party pointedly asked me to not go easy on them at all.
Melee druid with barely enough wisdom to cast buffs, bolt ace gunslinger, unchained rogue, barbarian, and monk.
Five hammers.
It's like they asked for a TPK.

Cranked my stove up to gas mark 10 for the first time. Sounded like there was a miniature jet engine in the kitchen. No wonder gas mark 4 is hotter than high on an electric.
I hope I never have to have an electric stove again.
I don't even know what to do with this much heat besides stir fry.

One of these days I will remember to include a warning telling GMs that letting me get away with anything will end up with somehow making something that's supposed to be underpowered somehow kick eight kinds of butt.
Also my old GM just reminded me of the time our party at 11th level killed a CR20 creature--the first ever instance of RAGELANCEPOUNCE back before it even had a name, in that our strategy to kill the thing was having my barbarian on a dire bat (because our country raised them as mounts in kingmaker) charge with a lance. Twice, thanks to a teleportation spell from our travel domain cleric.
It was a spur of the moment tactic so no spirited charge as of yet, but it was enough to down the thing.

Okay, gotta brag about my brilliant kid for a bit.
My daughter is not quite six and goes to a bilingual immersion school, not because of personal preference but because it's where I work.
Today during her little brother's naptime, I'm showing her some Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor clips on YouTube, because you've got to get them started sometime.
She says, "Cool! I want to see MORE Doctor Who!"
I say, "You know, Tom Baker wasn't the ONLY Doctor. How about some 5th Doctor clips?"
Without skipping a beat, she says, "YES! Let's watch some Doctor 五"
(Which is Five, which is pronounced like oooh.)
She is ever so much smarter than me.

Legion: based upon the X-men character David Haller -- child of Professor X (and, IIRC, Moira MacTaggart), possessed of some of the strongest mutant powers in the Marvel Universe, and also burdened with grievous mental illness. Late '70s-mid '80s era, I think?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yeah dude is a omega-level mutant (so like phoenix) he gains powers and personality of people that die near him so he gets quite the collection but only has access to them when the personality is in control (comic wise anyways series might do it slightly differently)

So, how do my "family games" go?
The necromancer hurled Handy at her... a 3! I dropped Handy right next to him and looked up Handy's movement. 40'!?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!?
Handy skittered across the room, had Blindsense so he had no trouble finding her, then a natural 20 had Handy critting her on the floor. This told everyone else where she was, so the rogue hit her in spite of her invisibility, and the blood rager was able to come around and hit her again. Again, that 50% miss chance didn't do her any good, and my first BBEG's entire fight was, "Roll on the floor, turn invisible, get beaten to death by a stupid hand."
And of course when they found the handy haversack they naturally gave it to the Strength 8 necromancer, who promptly put Handy in it.
Yeah.

Just remember that crawling hand is an intelligent (if not much) undead, so it will get a new Will save every day...
I hope that Impus Major doesn't mind being strangled by Handy one day...

... aaaaaaaaaaaaactually, I just realized conflated Yvette Nicole Brown from Community with Donna Meagle from Parks and Rec.
Whoops!
(I did the same thing when Joel McHale appeared in Video Game Highschool - I told my wife that it was Ben () from Parks and Rec - and Aziz Ansari () when I saw a YouTube video of him doing bad first date texts, briefly thinking he was Sandip Parikh from The Guild and Legend of Neil; and though I don't remember when, exactly, I know there are several different people that I've conflated with different versions of Chris Pratt - Jurassic Park, Guardians of the Galaxy, or Parks and Recreation characters, depending on whoever the other character was.)
... I-I can totally tell people apart! >.>
S-shut it!
... also, dang it Michael. That's her wedding.

EDIT:
Oh, and, full disclosure: it took me until part way through Seasons two to even remember the names of most people in most shows that I've watched.
EDIT 2: By which I mean most of the characters, much less most of the actors.

On the topic at-hand...
Man, Impus Major is such a pal. You can always rely on him to lend a hand.
Also, it's worth noting, he's probably good with the ladies: he's so handsome, after all.
I have to hand it to you, NH! He doesn't know how to quit! Just won't throw in the (hand) towel! I should give you a handshake!
As far as crawling hands making will saves, I wonder if a single save eliminates all instances of an effect. If not, having overlapping effects could be a really handy thing to layer. Of course, he could rather handily resolve most potential issues by just making sure Handy is cursed to be unable to resist IManor's powers. On the other hand, he might want to collect more of these things, but I'd advise caution that many control spells could single-handedly cause unintentional issues. Underhanded tactics often do.
On the gripping hand, I would remind the GM that, in multiple various canon works, a few of which I have on-hand, that in extremely extended control effects can sometimes linger long after the control itself is broken - even if the PC is no longer in direct control of the creature, it may still be loyal and servile, if it's been under his control so long that it's now used to it, and kind of likes what it does (at least a little) - it won't bite the hand that feeds it (or that it thinks does).
Of course too much good feelings could go wrong, too - you don't want your servants to get all handsy.
But I've also been thinking how he could monetize this new pet of his: cross country shipments! Just set him up as a handtruck driver! Or in music, he could be a great conductor of Handel's Messiah! Even as a publisher - I could see "Handprint" as the latest thing! Regardless, it should get a job-- nevermind, it should most definitely not do that.
Okay, I'm done. For now.

just the guy I see in the mirror every day. He looks pudgy.
Also I will have to start wearing a suit every day for this position and suits are notoriously unforgiving.

The exercise/good diet angle is more than cool, though. :)
I just realized something: my father's family line is going to die out. My father is the only one of his generation to have children, my sister is dead set against ever having children and married to a man who's had a vascectomy, and while I find parenthood appealing, I'm celibate for life. It's actually a really sad thing to realize, because I have an awesome family history on that side that's just going to wither up, die, and be forgotten. I'd be the one to continue the family legacy, but as much as I want to, I'll never be in a position where I can do so, which makes me feel like a disappointment.

I wore a suit, once.
...wait, no that was someone else. I've never worn a suit.
Man, next time I make a necromancer, I'm totally going to have crawling claws, only they're all going to be permanently invisible and under my control (by various permanent control spells via inscribe tattoo)...
That's just too hilarious, the more I think about it.
(Also, he'll totally be a lawful good guy. Because he needs to be.)
Also, just as a question... I wonder what kind of undead one can make from a unicorn... I mean, respectfully make from a unicorn...

Have either you or your sister ever considered donating gametes?
I know it's a lot harder for women than for men, but it's one of those, "Some day, somewhere, out there, my father's line will continue" moments.
Kind of peace of mind of continuing the line without obligations that go with it.
(And yes, while I love my kids, it really is, "Are you ready to put your life on hold for the next 20 years while your kids grow to independence?")
