Grok's been fast and simple enough that its been good enough for what I'm after. Only downside is the image generation limit, since I'm not paying for anything. I have 3 X accounts though, so I get around it a little bit.

I haven't tried art style prompts that way but I guess technically it should work. Gemini is IMO not great at style prompts and I'm out of sloppa for the day so I can't test, but it seems to latch onto whatever style the reference pic has, anyway

Yes. I think you get it, but is pretending not to.

I have a question about When Attacking digivolve effects.
If I digivolve into a Digimon using a When Attacking effect and that new Digimon has the same effect can I activate the new Digimon's When Attacking to digivolve again?

>>97357076
No. When attacking only resolves when you declare the attack. Since the attack was not declared after the new effect is online, it doesn't trigger.

>>97357092
Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it.

That's basically Deedlit in wonder labyrinth, you might mean the dreamcast game though.

It's all about the key squares. The key squares of a pawn where it's the only (relevant) pawn on the board are if it's on the enemy side of the board all six squares directly in front of the pawn, and if it's on its own half of the board it has only 3 such key squares - you skip the row in between.

What the hell is a key square? A key square means if the attacking king can occupy it, the pawn queens, if not it's a draw.

So here the pawn is on d7, the key squares will be c5, d5 and e5 - skip a rank due to it being on your own side of the board remember? So these concepts are kind of clunky at first and can take time to get to know but they're well worth it if you want to be good at such endings.

If white moves first: Kd2 Kc7 Kd3 Kd6 Kd4 - and the black king can never reach one of the key squares because the white key can gaurd them. Obviously if for example Ke6 instead white will just go Ke4, still stopping him from getting to the key square. The key squares are only different for a rook pawn, where the defending king only has to get to the last rank on the third file across c1/c8/f1/f8 for it to be a draw.

It's more interesting if the king has to go to the side. For example if the position is a white pawn on b4 and the white king is on c1, and the black king is on f8 the key squares become a5, b5 and c5 and the attacker must get to one. But if he goes Kc2 Ke7 Kc3 Kd6 Kc4 Kc6 he again can't get to a key square. But if he goes for the a5 square instead: Kc2 Ke7 Kb3 Kd6 Ka4 Kc5 Ka5 and he's made it and he queens.

2/2
>>97357011
Also if you're the defending king always put your king in one of the two squares in front of his pawn when you can, when that's not possible, move it to the side to match his king's movement. You can do things different but when you've seconds on the clock you want simple rules. It's very painful to lose a clearly drawn k vs p ending.

>what alternative do you suggest?
Shadow of the Demon Lord cuts the six stats down to four, so it's just Strength, Agility, Intellect and Will. All attributes are desirable for everybody so it's a meaningful tradeoff, and it means things like being a fit and strong mage or thief are actually worthwhile and not trap options.
While it's theoretically possible for somebody to be a roid-raging jacked power lifter with horrendous cardiovascular and immune health, vs a tiny Japanese housewife who can't lift 40 pounds but will live to 106 and never gets sick, the separation between CON and STR in fantasy games is largely irrelevant because the fantasy archetypes who have a bunch of one also have the other, Conan does not get winded running half a mile and his heart is stronger than Secretariat's. Fantasy enemies that are really strong are also really tough as well, like dragons, giants, orcs, trolls, vampires, werewolves, etc.

Separating Strength from Constitution pretty much just exists as a way to make playing a martial character more difficult, since it means if they want to be strong AND tough they need twice as much ability score luck or investment, while spellcasters are fine having the strength of a commoner but the constitution of a hydra.

>Parties made up of people who would never actually cooperate
Player characters by default are always exeptional people who are beyond or above the regular norms, standarts and expectations of their kin.

So player charcters being all from people who usually wouldnt go along but do in this instance is playing as intended.

>>97355437
because people happen to find the setting interesting and wish to explore it as something other than a witcher? I dont know, this seems like a (you) problem, anon. I can perfectly envision playing a sorcerer/ sorceress, a dwarf, elf, merc, royal spy or something else.

I've run Dark Tower. I found it perfectly serviceable. The dungeon itself didn't blow my mind or anything, but the opening setup with the village is what really led to a lot of memorable play, as the players found themselves determined to save the poor villagers only to slowly figure out what was actually going on. My crew had a good time with it.

>>97356228
>How is the advanced mutant companion?
Personally, I don't like it. It adds a bunch of player-facing character options, backgrounds, and feat-fagging that feel like a 3e-ification of Mutant Future.

It's the opposite of what Mutant Future would need, IMHO:
1) More monsters and expanded tables for wilderness and dungeon encounters to make the environment a bit more varied and interesting.
2) A dungeon generator.
But buildfagging is what sells, and often it's all that people who publish booklets understand, as seems to be the case here.

It's not a 3.5 lite imo. It's more like B/X with feats and a Traveller 2d6 skills with a sensibly compressed list of then. To me, it scratches the 5e itch of "more customization than OSR, but similarly fast to onboard players and prep" better than 5e, and especially 5.5e.

You're avoiding the question. Is there some inherent property of the supernatural that makes people evil?

>Vampires also start as people just like you and me
Not from what I know
>You're avoiding the question. Is there some inherent property of the supernatural that makes people evil?
It's the corrupting aspect of it. These things stop being human, some pretend they still are like you or I and others don't even bother. I have never met a creature that didn't deserve death. There always was something that they've done.

>>97356525
Don't tell me you believe that "they're demons running around in people's corpses" nonsense. Regardless, in summary you do believe that there's something inherently corruptive to the supernatural, that it strips away one's humanity. Where does the buck stop on that? Some people here have been claiming to have the ability to do "magic". Is that going to strip away their humanity and make them a monster?

>>97356594

> 'expected for the species' is not a biological fact, it's a socialised determination
No it isn't. It is determined by environmental factors. The inability to lift and carry your infant child is obviously below the bare minimum threshold of physical fitness for any reproductive success at all, ergo the inability to do so is undoubtedly weakness.
>everyone is weak in some way or another
Yeah, everyone is flawed. This is common knowledge. Everyone has a weakness. Depression is such a weakness. Missing an arm is a weakness. Being deaf is a weakness. Being fat is a weakness. All of these things reduce your reproductive fitness. Being physically fit, smart, motivated, tall and handsome are all strengths. This is basic knowledge.
>You cannot distinguish someone who is 'weak' from somebody who is 'genuinely impaired'
Correct. There is no difference. That's the whole point. Re-read my posts until you understand this.
>you are entitled to your opinion - but it is not objective.
There's no such thing as an objective opinion. I've never claimed mine was. Stop imagining things. The rest of your posts is just strawmen and passive aggressive assumptions about my intentions, and since you don't make me dinner and do my dishes, I'm not gonna bother correcting them.
I wish you the best of luck in acquiring sufficient strength to overcome your weakness with as much sincerity as anyone can on this godforsaken Swiss trout farming forum.

>>97356749

>It is determined by environmental factors.
Again, this doesn't position you in the way you think it does. Environmental factors produce variance. They do not define obligation. If drought causes half a population to be undernourished, that does not make malnutrition a “weakness” in the moral or dispositional sense—it makes it a constraint. You keep sliding between descriptive evolutionary outcomes (“this trait reduces reproductive success”) and normative judgment (“this trait is weakness”).

These are not the same thing. It is the naturalistic fallacy warned against by evolutionary biologists. You are thinking, in your own terms, like a woman.

>Inability to lift your infant is below the bare minimum threshold of physical fitness for reproductive success.

This is demonstrably false because humans have evolved to be social and cooperative animals, like other simians. Reproductive success has never depended on solitary male capacity and injured, ill, elderly, and disabled individuals have reproduced successfully for tens of thousands of years. Human fitness is not solely about individual robustness.

By your logic, a man with a broken arm during infancy is “weak”, a man with malaria is “weak” or a man injured in a hunt is “weak”. But these are expected, common and survivable states precisely because humans are not lone wolves, regardless of what your favourite podcasting bro thinks. Your “bare minimum threshold” is a fantasy projection, not evolutionary reality.

>“Everything that reduces reproductive fitness is weakness”

That isn't a meaningful category, it is loser labelling after the fact. Natural selection is not a moral tribunal. It does not assign fault. It filters outcomes. Calling every disadvantage “weakness” is not hard-nosed realism—it’s category vandalism engaged in by women and leftists.

>“Correct. There is no difference. That’s the whole point.”

If weakness = impairment, then weakness is not corrigible by exhortation, is not evidence of character failure, does not imply responsibility for onset, cannot be “fixed” by willpower alone. Your rhetoric has relied on exactly the opposite being true, so thanks for proving my point for me.

You don't cure deafness by listening harder, paralysis by wanting to be able to walk more, or depression by redefining it as contemptible.

Either depression is an impairment and so your strength rhetoric is meaningless OR depression is a moral weakness and so your equivalences make no sense. You can't have both, but you want both.

>There's no such thing as an objective opinion. I've never claimed mine was. Stop imagining things.

This is a dodge, not a defence. IF your claims are merely personal evaluation, then they have no explanatory authority, nor grounded in biology as you seem to think. Your half-arsed musings aren't a corrective to hundreds of medical studies. They are a story you tell yourself.

>weakness in the moral sense
You're the moralfagging retard, not me. Moral weakness (which I have not brought up even once) is a subcategory of weakness, not the other way around.
Re-read my posts without assuming that I'm a moralfag like yourself until you understand this.

You have received sufficient information, and you are presumably running this through some AI, assuming you aren't one, since you spit out vacuous quantities of monoculture moralizing without being able to grasp the point. No more (yous).

>>>97356820 (You)
Okay love, if you can't spot the logical fallacies you've made then at this point, then there is little point in making plain to you that you can't claim not to be moral fagging and still prescribing self-contempt as insight.

>You are presumably running this through some AI

Woman moment.
Stop (inaccurately) guessing what I'm doing and just engage with the post. (Besides, you don't need to use an AI to spot the reasoning of a moron.)
