Acupuncture isn't really THAT deep. It is about manipulating nerves in the skin... Not about anything deeper than that.

If you want a HUGE WTF... Just read about Acupuncture and the sheer amount of weird stuff involved.

I'll sum it up as this: Did you know you can control the entire human body from any part of the human body?

[TheBiggerFish]

I didn't, because you can't.

[TD1]

Indeed.

I ran out of mashed potatoes.

Instead I am going to have rice and beans, which are not, in fact, mashed potatoes.

Pillars of eternity is a very interesting game, but I'm kind of disappointed that the game engine seems to railroad me towards dumpstatting resolve.... which is really important rp-wise. I can avoid that if I go chanter, since chanter chants are independent of stats barring int  so I can dumpstat other stuff. But it feels a bit lame, in part because I'm unsure as to what a chanter actually is, in part because in most battles I dont really get to do very much

Acupuncture is about microtraumas. So technically it's kind of a little bit of an unnecessary fucking around with the human body that would have been better done with medicine, but it works. It's like the stabbing to massage's punching.

I have asked people to stand upon my back before.

and I regularly bend my spine around the trunk of my car.  My spine is a free bird, and needs to fly!

Part of the reason I find Pen and Paper RPGs (and games that copy them) so aggravating is how specialized the characters are and need to be.

To the extent where I am more skilled and more knowledgeable then ANY Pen and Paper RPG character.

You would think a Wizard College might have gym, but apparently Wizards took competitive sleeping as a extra curricular.

Astronauts wouldn't exist in the dungeons and dragons universe.

Nah, a level 1 DnD character is pretty much better at everything than you are, because they are the hero of the story and you're some dude. You probably have less HP than a level 1 wizard.

[hops]

I kind of imagine that wizards are strong compared to pasty overweight nerds that play them. They're just weak by adventurer standards.

OK, I guess this thread is staying.

I started rewatching Jessica Jones.  I'm only through episode 2 so far, but nngh.  Especially since I enjoyed Luke Cage in the meantime.
Not sure if I can do this.
"But you have two choices.  One, keep denying it. Or two... do something about it."

NO INDEED SIR there is a commoner NPC class in 3.5 because 3.5 has obscure rules for everything.

They have the same D4 hit die as wizards. This means that a wizard has no more base HP than the village poopsmith.

Poopsmithing at the medieval level requires an impressive physique. Your average intertubes denizen probably is much more flabby.
