  • Tbf that was the One Ring and IT wanted to be found. The rings referenced above were not semi sentient like the One Ring was. They merely amplified the powers and desires of their races.

    Elven rings allowed them to preserve their forests and increased their isolationism. Dwarven rings increased their ability to acquire and desires for money. Human rings gave them increased powers to rule over men.





  • It’s actually not that hard! There’s only a handful of core rules to know for every session and the rest you can learn as you go.

    Attacks and spell attacks: 1d20+prof (proficiency bonus)+ability+special bonuses (items, buffs, etc)
    Ability checks: 1d20+ability. If it’s a skill check you have proficiency in, add +prof.
    Saving throws: 1d20+ability, +prof if you’re proficient in that saving throw.
    Note: all of these bonuses are summed up on your character sheet under your spellcasting page, your weapons, skill lists and saving throw lists.

    In encounters you can do the following: Action (extra attack included in 1 action), Bonus Action, Reaction, Movement, Item Interaction, and any number of Free Actions.

    DCs for figuring out how hard something easy:
    5: very easy, most people can do this most of the time
    10: easy, people trained can reliably do this
    15: medium, decent odds if skilled
    20: hard, rare success unless very skilled
    25: very hard, rare success even with highly skilled
    30: nearly impossible, heroic aptitude still fails most of the time
    35: godly, the highest DC likely to see. impossible without epic amounts of skill and even then very unlikely. even demigods may fail






  • I understand. Some people think fetuses are babies, people, at that point. And they see abortion as murder. And if you think a fetus is a person, then it IS murder. It’s a completely valid position. Not one I think is correct, but it’s easy to see how they get there.

    And if you believe that then you also believe in slavery for the mother. There’s no other precedent for someones literally supporting the life of another that can’t be transferred to another guardian. And if you think a fetus is a person you’d not excuse abortion for anything, even rape. Which then means you’d think raping someone can enslave them bodily.

    Also most of those people have so little regard for actual babies and do so little to protect them that their stance rings hollow. And they also aren’t willing to extend legal benefits as if they were babies. So their actions contradict their stated values and they aren’t taken seriously.
