DF Suggestions / Re: Necromancers and the Justice System

« on: March 29, 2024, 04:18:26 am »

Currently necromancers can make zombies, who don't have any memories, or the procedurally generated types of intelligent undead, which are basically just the person brought back to life. And bringing one of your dwarves back from the dead with bonus immortality and magic powers has a little broader utility than just asking them how they died.

But all of that is likely to be changed for myth and magic anyways, in which case we might indeed get something like DnD's speak with dead spell. Or possibly zombies who can remember just enough of their life to make it a cool mystery?

New rule: rules have no effect so long as they contain a number of words which is prime.

Looks like you've accidentally put the images in [url] tags rather than [img] tags.

Real life example: I was recently in the ER for what turned out was a migraine. I described the pain in my head as "Sometimes an 8, but it comes and goes".
When it hurt less than the pressure cuff, I described it as a "4" and mentioned it hurt less than the pressure cuff.

...it is NEVER a 10, or they will completely ignore you.

Oh right, dragon can tail slap. Even when all its other limbs are grappled, say.

I mean, it's less of a self-fulfilling prophecy and more a consequence of how first past the post voting works. If a third party became viable enough to be an option, it would cease being a third party and become the first or second party, and one of the two parties we already had would become a third party. Which has happened before. You can support the greens or whoever, but unless the voting system changes, what you're pushing for is the greens to become one of the two options when the republican party decides to explode for good, or whatever.

Don't be a coward and claim you're voting third party because you don't like either, just own up to the fact that doing so is a chickenshit way of getting to vote for fascism and the end of democracy entirely.

Maaaax, sometimes people actually believe in what they say they believe. I don't see anybody voting for someone other than trump if they want fascism, they'd just vote trump.
