I hate how wide speard mental illness terms have spread. Where is our therapist jigsaw? Capturing people, putting them in death traps, and telling them "live or die. Your choice." So we can see if these fricks have D.I.D or ADHD or LGBT or depression or any of the millions other disorders everyone fricking has. Also everyone autistic should be castrated, same for downs and children of violent criminals.

That's nice now tell that to mother nature and all the short neck giraffes.

Literally true though. LTherapists try to keep you in the 'mental illnessc paradigm when humans were built to be able to handle tragedy and stress in normal life. It's likely just something like you aren't doing anything to be worth living for yourself, in which cade do anything at all productive outside the house. The second half is sleep, sunlight and nutrition. Give your brain and body proper fuel to be strong and it will be strong.
Premodern civilization just kept going on because they still had regular sleep, cohesive families and defined purpose. They didn't have to figure out their passion/career or any gayshit in a choice paralysis from boundless unknown possibilities. Their father chose their trade to apprentice in or they succeeded their father's trade. Everyone typically did physical labor and/or joined the military so they knew how to be strong and fight and couldn't be pushed around as much. Most people got a family or were at least involved in their local community.
It's not mental illness, it's objective low-value of your own life. Give yourself objective value and you'll feel deserving of life.

Natural 20s aren't actually considered an auto success for non combat skill checks. Precisely so that unskilled players cant just rng their way through a no chance in hell situation like this.
Where’s the version where the women point out that a nat 20 on an ability check isn’t an instant success, and ask what the roll is with his Charism Modifier? Which even with a low Charisma score probably isn’t less than a 16. All edition dependent, of course.
Sure, of course. I was trying to point out that even though a Nat 20 isn’t an instant success even a near impossibly uncharismatic character that’s a decent enough roll that might succeed. Don’t think I accomplished that, but it was my intent.
Well they probably don't have very high Wisdoms AND they're drunk. That's why I like to use disposition levels. If they're Hostile to him from the beginning, he's taking a chance of having them actually attack him on a failed roll to influence them but if he succeeds he only gets them to where they are no longer Hostile but not Friendly either. He'd need to come back on a different day to try to influence them again. I find this system to be adequately simulationist while still being gamist enough to satisfy those types.
That’s a fair way to do it, but I feel that within my group that sort of repetitive action could potentially end up with one PC dominating sessions with roleplaying while everybody else stacks dice because they just HAVE to come back day after day while the rest of the players want to move on. A sort of positive incentive that would lead to negative consequences. So for “set piece” npcs tI typically I typically ask players what their intentions are before allowing them to roll, and if it’s not a goal that can be accomplished that way I may tell them out of character so the session can move on.
I just don't let any one player role play that much period. One player can't just decide the whole party sits at the Inn wasting Adventuring Days on them playing some simple-ass social metagame with an NPC. Ain't nobody gonna put up with that. Every single player gets a chance to do anything they want to do before any given Adventuring Day ends. The hot chicks probably aren't even at the club every night, just Fridays and Saturdays. Their Disposition may have shifted back to Hostile in that time. Maybe it's because of a problem they have that needs solved. That's a low level Adventure Hook right there, Baby.
Pretty sure normally crits only apply to combat and they have to be confirmed. It's usually a house rule to apply crits to skill checks and saving throws.
Correct. Some tables do run auto successes on nat 20s because of the meme and all that but it isn't in the base rules. A dm might make the deisicion for special bonuses on a 20 but there obviously needs to be some limitations to it. If a dwarf in full plate falls off a cliff and attempts an athletics check to flap his arms fast enough to start flying obviously no matter how hard he does this he isn't gonna fly even if he rolls a 20. A generous dm might say on a 20 "as you flap your arms like an idiot, your hand happens to catch on a branch or ledge preventing you from falling to your demise".
It's a similar situation with the high charisma bard who attempts to persuade a king to hand over his kingdom to him. Obviously (without some kind of magical mind control) this isn't gonna work so a 20 isn't actually gonna get the player what they want. A dm could tell the player this but still have them roll to see how the king would react to this. A high persuasion roll won't have the king hand over the kingdom but might make him take it in good spirits, admiring the bard's gumption and having a good laugh about it. The check still had a positive effect without breaking the game.
Throwing fish that are too small back into the ocean is a regular thing old fisherman do, in this case the size is not about the overall size of the fish but how big the breast of the mermaids are.
The big fat ones are better eating and have probably already reproduced but it's better just to catch ALL of them with a huge net and selectively throw back the good breeders to restock.
the characters are presumed to be familiar to the audience from previous comic strips. the humor derives from recognizing their established relationships with one another being played out in an outlandish new setting. this is all a thin veneer for drawing cheese-cake of the attractive characters and provides the audience with an excuse for continuing to read the loosely connected comic "for the plot and characterization"

And don’t forget castrating people who are pro-eugenics

you need post-mandatory education to even do unpaid volunteer labour now
Thinking of this as bait is actually the only way it makes sense

Unfortunately, I'm a Divination Wizard and choose to substitute that roll for a 7.
Did he light the cigarette on the filter side?
In my game their Disposition would have just shifted from Hostile to Neutral. It would have still taken two more positive shifts to get to sex

It would take a -4 modifier to drop a 20 to a 16. Most people would trash a character with a 3 in any stat, even Charisma.

It's obviously fake. You don't roll 6 TWENTY fricking times in a row.
I love posts like this because you know the guy who made it is like 15
The edit with only the redhead sleeping with him is funnier.
lol
I don't get it
Fisherman has dementia and throws away better fish in favor of worse fish.
I think the Fisherman is avoiding JB fish in favour of adult fish.
I don't blame him, don't want a visit from the Fish.B.I.
>the Fish.B.I.
fishman likes big boobs
The author spent so long fighting battles in the Culture War that he forgot how to tell jokes.
The smaller fish are angry, and the bigger fish are smug, despite the fishermen only wanting to eat them (see the fork).
Before becoming a fisherman he was an architect.
Throwing fish that are too small back into the ocean is a regular thing old fisherman do, in this case the size is not about the overall size of the fish but how big the breast of the mermaids are.
The big fat ones are better eating and have probably already reproduced but it's better just to catch ALL of them with a huge net and selectively throw back the good breeders to restock.

You can't crit on skill checks
haha doesn't matter I roll to seduce the dragon WOWER nat 20 aren't I so clever and original haha
It is the bardic way.
Heh
I don't use D20s I use 3d6 roll under which encourages a bellcurve and a consistent competency with characters
>I use 3d6
Imagine being this scared to roll a 1
Needs a gun in the other hand
Where is the edit where only the girl who points out the nat 20 ends up with him? That one also seemed wholesome.
I always preferred the version of this comic where he only scores the chick who pointed out the roll
