Assister in French means to attend in English

And it’s fucking terrible compared to real leather. It’ll start flaking or cracking after a year, it’s fucking dangerous around fire, it offers no fucking insulation or protection, it’s shit.

A lot of novice fire performers will grab it thinking it’s the same as real leather, and we always have to pull them aside and give em a talk

Instead of using a weapon to make a melee attack, you can use a punch, kick, headbutt, or similar forceful blow. In game terms, this is an Unarmed Strike

D&D isn’t a real world simulator. It values them all equally.

An Unarmed Strike without modifier would also be literally 1 point of damage, barring Monk or Unarmed Fighting Style

So there’s a few issues here:

• Unarmed Strikes do not require an open hand. Punches, kicks, and slams all count as the same Unarmed Strike
• If you were to allow this, there would be no reason to allow someone with two Shortswords or a Greataxe to do a BA strike
• …which would then render the BA attack from Polearm Master moot since they no longer need a feat to do that
• I’ll also note that the fighter with a sword in one hand and nothing in the other is likely using the Duelist fighting style, so that sword attack is effectively two die sizes larger. A Duelist Longsword is roughly equivalent to a Greatsword to put it in perspective

At the end of the day, allowing martials to perform a BA Unarmed Strike wouldn’t be game breaking, but it needs to be applied universally which has secondary implications

There are other games with fewer mechanical rules where you can go crazy with this kinda stuff. D&D is one of the most mechanically crunchy ones out there

Unarmed Strikes are not just punches, they have nothing to do with how many hands you have. You can even Unarmed Strike with a weapon in each hand. If you want to “dual wield” Unarmed Strikes, go Monk.

100%, I do the same while listening to music. On the best days, I’ll lose all sense of time until I find myself on the other side of town.

I discover the best places that way, and I always pin them for next time I’m around. If I pass by an interesting looking place but don’t go in, I’ll mark it with a question mark in a list called “Sidequests”

I use weed to cope with existential crisis and sociopolitical turmoil

Oh you mean physically? Heh… Heh…

I’m a fire performer, I’ve set some pretty large fires. Nope. Always have a safety plan

Because the car and air industries are so powerful they can effectively pay to suppress all other forms of transportation

Lee Zeldin is such a piece of shit, par for the course

Trump “I did that!” sticker makers love this

Micro plastics

I really don’t expect Gavin Newsom to do anything other than pander to Republicans, say “we must be friends in the name of progress”, maybe pardon Trump, and leave all but the worst of Trump’s policies in place

…by whom?

There’s also dry herb vapes, which while not innocent by any means, are likely better than anything with ejuice

Can we compare it to IDF rifles next?

Money laundering, it’s really good for that

FWIW on the fourth point, it is relevant to Canada. The US has been sending ICE to other countries. Not to mention that Canadians have been detained and even killed by them.

All my homies say fuck ICE
