Simple, dissolve the whole package in one gallon of water, and then the solution is 110 times as potent as it should be.

Round up to 128 because watering it down a little more won’t hurt you, and that simplifies the math. You put one ounce of that gallon of solution into a second gallon of water, and you’re ready to drink. Repeat with a new gallon of tap water mixed with an ounce of your solution as needed.

It usually does, but it doesn’t have to.

All that sounds great.

I personally like a good tank Tarrasque. The encounter is more puzzle than combat. The players are hardly noticed until they deal something like 10% of its HP. With a solid regen, that’s a significant scratch.

Of course, this version would be boring in a vacuum, so there’s a time pressure of it destroying a city.

This naturally gives it three stages. Stage 1, players are basically safe. They can try strategies, do shenanigans, and the Tarrasque will be at worst impeded, but likely relatively unaffected. The goal is just to get its attention at all. Any turns it spends targeting the players are turns the city is safe. Maybe give the city a magical artillery piece that needs to be set up.

Stage 2, they’ve delayed the city’s destruction. Now the problem is the Tarrasque is looking their way. Their main goal shifts to some form of “survive”. A clever party can lure the Tarrasque out of the city, perhaps into a trap if they had time. A lot of actions are spent maneuvering, escaping, setting up the trap if it exists. It’s likely the Tarrasque fully heals during this stage, although that doesn’t make it revert to stage 1. It may do so if it cannot get to them in any way, like a flyer 300’ up.

Stage 3 is whenever it catches them or springs a trap. This is a final fight. Unless they straight up run away, this is when the big damage comes out, when that artillery may show up, when the trap springs. If they cannot do consistent damage, they will run out of resources and lose. If they can, they’ll win, job well done, they get the keys to the city, a celebration, all that.

True I forgot that detail. Sacred flame would do fine, as well.

Those level 1 aarakocran clerics might die by being tapped and falling the whole distance but they’ll bag a tarrasque no problem.

As for the 2024 Tarrasque, they downgraded it to resistance against physical damage, instead of immunity to nonmagic physical. I mean, it’s nice that it resists magical physical, now, but any source of advantage to cancel the disadvantage of being in long range lets you kill with any bow/crossbow.

Repeating would still be ideal, for ammo usage, but it needed its regeneration back. At least if you needed 100 aarakocran to start reducing its HP meaningfully, it’d be beyond the scope of “first time player who thought flying sounded cool”.

Not with Wish, that’s for sure.

Ive heard it said that anything past level 15 or so, they just didn’t intend for real gameplay, and I have to agree. The Tarrasque is defeated with a Fly spell and a bow, Wish can technically be used for other things but really is just Lesser Wish from older editions, only spell replication, and capstones tend to be meh and really feel tacked on most of the time.

RAW, it’s not replicating a spell, so the effect weakens you, 1/3rd chance it burns out, all that, except the DM doesn’t rule on possibility, since it is called out as possible.

I treat every effect that specifically call out Wish as removing it as using Wish to replicate a spell. Unless the intent was to only allow a Wishing magic item to work, it’d be pretty ridiculous otherwise.

Yes.

Floppy disk drive.

A and B were reserved and your first hard disk drive was C.

The two disk drives had fixed memory addresses because they were often specific ports on the motherboard, and loaded the OS, etc. Things after that were more dynamic.

I agree with the sentiment but not with the advice “commit a felony to avoid maybe getting a felony”. There isn’t a chance you’ll get charged with destroying evidence if they’re already looking at you under a microscope like your hypothetical.

Anyone that concerned needs to just not store sensitive data on their phone, and use a messaging app that doesn’t permanently store messages, either. That way you didn’t erase your phone, AND they find nothing. Attempting to secure your data from the cops while you’re already under the lens with a warrant is far too late.

Another case is if they get a warrant for whatever’s on your phone, you knew, and then erased your phone.

Warrants make more sense, because a warrant can be issued just due to probable cause. They need that cause, but that cause doesn’t have to be directly related to your phone. Once you know they have a warrant to search it, you would qualify as “knowingly” altering or destroying evidence.

Dang I didn’t know they got that cheap.

Thanks for the search advice.

Honestly I feel this was always the goal (one of several), but R&D is expensive. Shipping an odd phone that people still buy keeps the shareholders happy while the multi-year research process can eventually produce more usable results.

Single-flip phones were the awkward teenagers, now this phone can be the 18-20 age young adult, fully featured, but needing refinement. Next gen or the one after this will add a lot more robustness.

The boring but truthful answers of “I have bills that can easily soak it all up without an issue (mortgage, student loans, car, etc)” have been said, so assuming I cannot use it to repay any debts, and I have to make actual new purchases, I’d buy things that I could pay for now but enjoy for a long time. 3-year VPN plan, multi-year phone plan, gift cards to restaurants (especially with a bulk discount like at a Costco), etc. Upgrade my cockatiels to a cage that goes wall to wall with real plants hanging out and all that. The little things that cost enough that I don’t get them but not enough to be a life-changer. Probably be a good amount left, I’d get a moped or electric bike of some kind, and I’d upgrade my laptop to a stupid powerful one.

Sort by date and at least vaguely remember when I downloaded it.

Its like archaeology

Didn’t know this, this is good to know

Amazon doesn’t, either.

Order from those further away conic shops, in this case. Local conic shops are better than Amazon but that’s a generalization. Order from a good place that doesn’t support billionaires.

Yeah T3 modules all get a new recipe that needs a new thing.

Efficiency needs some spoilage, speed needs a volcanus thing, and production needs biter eggs. The tech to get the eggs needs gleba’s science.

So yeah, we’re the villain, or the domesticator, depending on if they’re sapient.

Translating the text, it seems correct. Some AI can get that, but it means it’s at least a lot more likely to be real.

Right? He doesn’t even know what they are, and while an Em Dash isn’t a guarantee of AI, anyone who is at all concerned about people thinking their writing is AI now avoid them.

So if this isn’t AI, its someone who failed to think things through. (But its AI.)

Sidenote: wouldn’t be surprised at all if Em Dashes leave our human lexicon altogether, given the negative association they’ve received. Like spelling changes, AI might just make our writing drift away from them altogether, until AI does get exclusive use of it.

Cool thanks for the info.

Also didn’t know bjs was donating lije that. Terrible.
