2023.06.04 00:18 DerGrantelbart1 19M thinking about you

Hi. I'm Max, 19M and I'm from Germany. I love night walks, tattoos, video games and lil peep. I don't have many friends because I'm struggling to connect with people. I'm introverted but I can easily speak to people i just need a lot of time to recharge. I'm emotional and don't have any fear to show my tears. I'm a person that will stick forever if you give me the chance to get to know you. If you're interested just text me. I'm open to everything. I don't care about gender, nationality, ethnicity or anything in that nature.

2023.06.04 00:17 Sharinganprincess91 [F4M] Fandom Roleplay. Looking for more partners. (Super freaking bored and really could use some more partners :/)

Side note: I've added a password, so read carefully. If you message me WITHOUT the password, your messages are automatically IGNORED. tired of getting hit up with people who don't read 😒. It's ridiculous cause I've ignored 5+ chats cause none of them contained the password. Things are written for a reason.
Facts about me:

I have been roleplaying since 2012. Yes, I got experience under my belt, and yes, my ideas usually have really long reads, but don't let that scare you off! After the starter is off, I may lower myself down to a decent paragraph or two, sometimes three! It all depends on what I've got to work with.
My timezone is EST. I'm awake from 9am - 2am and I'm usually free unless I'm busy doing house chores, out of the house, asleep, or playing video games on my switch. I'm usually become REALLY active at or around 8pm.

Rules:
1: if you don't like 50/50 mixture of sex scenes and story, don't bother hopping into my inbox. I'm fine with sex scenes, but when it's constantly back to back, the roleplay itself gets boring.
2: Be literate. No one liners. I like to write..it's annoying when I send a 2-3 paragraph response and I get 3 lines...just...no. I am not accepting people who are just starting out! If you aren't experienced in writing or roleplaying, kindly stay out of my inbox.
3: Be okay with playing canon characters. I'm mainly doing fandom roleplays right now and it's going to be Canon x my oc. No, I'm not doing double ups. Do not even ask, because the answer will be no every time. I do not give a shit if you think that makes me 'lazy' or 'selfish', if you've got a problem, you can simply ignore or block me. Commenting on my post to bitch and whine about me not doubling up will only result in me blocking you. The ONLY time I'll double up, and if I'm confident enough, I'll only do female characters. I suck at males. Got a problem? Not my issue. Block and move on.
4: Roleplay in third person. I can't and won't adapt to first. Don't even bring up the idea of you playing first person and me playing third. Believe it or not, I've been asked this twice and that is just a hell no for me. The only time I do first, is when I'm writing into my book.
5: if you don't know how to share ideas, then don't bother messaging me. I'm tired of carrying the story when the other person doesn't help. If you've got ideas, then PLEASE speak up! Your opinion on the roleplay matters too! I'm an easy going person, and easy to get along with (dispite my rules).
6: DO NOT control my character. I control what she says, does, hears, sees, ect. I don't control yours, so don't control mine. HOWEVER, if it's highly necessary and needed, then run it by me first and ask me. Just leave me some wiggle room so I can make a decent response. Failure to comply by this rule, results in immediate drop of the rp.
End Note:
Yes, I've updated my rules just a tad. I do not care if it makes me sound mean or rude, because I'm neither of these things. I'm just tired of putting these rules down for a specific reason and they go ignored because I can tell when someone hasn't read them, and lied about it. I'm just trying to get my point across and roleplay. I'm a very easy going person who loves to make friends on the side (which I've somewhat given up on making friends...only a selective few have actually gained my friendship).
Do not hop into my inbox with a simple 'hey' 'hi' 'sup', etc and for God's sake, don't message me with a 'rp?'and proceed me to flash me with your talliwhacker. I promise you, you'll get your feelings hurt and I'll be here laughing at ya 😂. Nobody wants a peen on their screen. Do not send me an image of your one eyed noodle. Thank you. The password is pineapple.

2023.06.04 00:15 Hopeful_Green_3728 i accidently offered women ride home of her husband. im depressed things are not going well at all

english is not my first language so excuse my grammatical errors
so to start with i have social anxiety ever since i started noticing girls(yes only around girls my age group not around men. i turn into extrovert around people are older and kids also people i know from childhood) im 21 now decided to go to college then go abroad to complete masters and settle there (i live in india) i didn't not to go to college after graduating high school when i was 17 cause of bullying even tho im 5"11"(tall for indian man cause average here is 5.6 and i never encountered anyone taller than me) my mom wanted me to go to college and was fully gonna fund me(i live with her she has a terrible disease dont know i should tell it but she is always weak and sick) but i said no.besides i got a small online work at home job right after high school with decent pay these past 4 years were okayish i did whatever i want bought my fav consoles,games,built a pc cause i dont have to pay for anything my mom earns a lot she does all the paying and she still treats me like a kid which really bothers me whenever i ask her to take me dentist for bracers that i will pay it with my own money she says something like "nah its alright you look great my intertsomeworkername's son has worst teeth i have ever seen its normal it will cover up when you get into your 30s"(it was 20s when im a teenager) and i cant deal with anxiety with going outside alone to a hospital getting appointment and explaining doctor about my teeth so stopped asking her carried on doing what i do.but these past 2-3 months i keep feeling really alone and miserable like something is missing in my life(it started with a dream i had early morning was so good felt very real)games doesn't feel entertaining anymore.

reality check:
i ran into my classmate 22M last month in who is about to graduate college he was never my friend just a casual at times made fun of me and played along when someone bullied but i can tell he matured and moved on from high school phase we were greeting each other he was with his 3 years relationship girlfriend she was complaining they have gotten to city at 5:30 am been waiting for her license and that she is hungry for breakfast so i took them to a coffee shop nearby we were having breakfast he paid for it we are catching up about our lives that made me realize how much of idiot i am laid back in outside world stuff, he was talking about all this taxes, political stance,government plans,laws etc i was agreeing with as i no idea most of it that he noticed it and changed the topic and started treating like a kid(not in a insulting way) explaining everything in more detailed way started asking questions about games asked me if im still playing Skyrim and it was a great game i felt so embarrassed said no(but i do) he said something like "dude are you like 7ft or something how many you been with" he said while laughing he is 5.7 i didn't pluck up the courage tell him i haven't even kissed a girl yet so i said 3 girls,his girlfriend was into this and started asking details about breakups and meetups and kept laughing at scenarios im saying about these imaginary girlfriends. my friend smile disappeared kept awkwardly smirking not because i was flirting with his girlfriend or anything he picked it right off the bat i making these up she kept pressing me i panicked said i had my first girlfriend in 10th grade but i studied till 12th with him i never talked with girl in my class ever he knows it.while leaving he never confronted me about anything about lying maybe felt bad about me then started telling how he approached his girlfriend and made moves in the most detailed way possible almost like telling me how to get a girlfriend he asked for my Instagram(guess what i don't have one cause people use Instagram post pictures of themselves and i dont rate myself as good looking person)and said we should hangout sometime he took my number then we said goodbye went our ways.

my childhood

ever since this conversation i felt like the biggest loser of all time. i have a hard time eating,sleeping,working and my depression got worse . i had traumatic cheating parents childhood involving AP's sidechick(yes not his wife and he lied to my mom being single) beating the living hell out of my mom and stomping her face on the ground infront of 9 year old me and in laws allowing and encouraging giving ap wife full support against my mom for cheating on my sick dad, my grandma has big castle type house all her children live together they kicked us out of house after my dad died my mom got my dad's job according Indian rules thought everything was going great until she contracted HIV we still have no idea how it happened as she only had affair with 1 guy my mom keeps telling someone planned against her could be in laws or AP's wife and the're totally capable of doing it.i know what you people might be thinking my mom but she is not that type of person she is the most caring and generous person i ever known goes out help homeless people,animals. even though i completely agree cheating is wrong any situation this is only time i can justify as my dad is completely selfish passive aggressive person beating my mom is common thing for him i used see it as kid sometimes he used yell most vulger dirtiest insults at her loudly that everyone around us can hear it(we lived separately when my dad was healthier) my mother told me he cheated on her multiple times(could be true but i didnt believe as i was not born yet i only believe what i see)she also told me beat her infront of my uncle(her brother)when she said got a job and going to do it even after they are married( i asked my uncle and few people around they told me its true) she put with this for 7 years before he got sick running away is not an options as we live in india and she is jobless and wives leave husbands are shamed.she did all these sacrifices and put up with him cause she loved him when he got both his kidneys failed she took real care him he cant even walk without holding someone and became deaf 1 year after the condition 2nd year they took something out his body idk what and placed a machine he cant pee they used do something called dialysis to remove waste from his body so their sexual relationship is dead so she cheated on him (which is still wrong )leaving him would worsen him all alone no one to take care.when he found he got pissed called my uncle(his brother) he came insulted my mom took us and dad home to grandma grandparents and all in laws started making me and my sister hate my mom telling us insult her and we did when she use to call i was pissed at that time watching someone else in my dad's position.three days we realized all in laws taking care of their children(cousins) no one actually making breakfast lunch or anything for us everyone kept ignoring our needs so i called mom so she sent her brother we went back to her. my dad needs dialysis his brothers kept delaying it saying they are busy its been weeks so he called mom she came picked him up took him to hospital it takes like entire day he died few years later. we moved in with grandma where she tortured daily verbally and used like maid but we dont have anywhere else stay then found out her ap had 1 wife and 1 affair his wife left him. mom distanced herself from him my mom is 4 ft ap's affair beat her so many times cause my uncles and aunts kept calling her they hated her so much idk why. we moved out she got aids i have panic attack when someone makes an aids joke. as kid i dont know what it is or why my mom kept crying holding the reports or why she distanced herself from us and kept her seperate plates glasses has her own seperate bathroom stopped us from kissing her i thought its just a random sickness then searched about it google back in 2019 it said they only live between 9-15 years and its already been 13 years she is getting skinner everyday her blood count dropped to 4 i been having nightmares recently about her i wake up cant sleep anymore and start getting emotional start praying all this things fucked my mind up when someone even says the word cheating or aids my heart starts beating and i have panic attack

fixing myself
i did my best ignoring it went with other hobbies like playing games and lot of daydreaming fantasy stuff like me present in lord of rings being Aragorn and it worked infact daydreaming is my favorite thing i lock my room walk around thinking about these cool stuff it makes so happy takes me into a place where everything happens according to my favor i control everything.but after conversation with my friend i wanted fix my life bought a motorcycle started going out for groceries got my bracers(went with mom tho) started going to gym(its been 1month by tomorrow) nervous at start thought people would stare at me but no one did there were more skinny and shorter guys than me applied to college starting next month. want to be in a relationship but it comes with cheating(not all don't get triggered but could be the one i gotten myself into)so i went reddit to see how people do post infidelity to prepare myself mentally if i ever get cheated and oh boy this is the biggest mistake of my life the things i 've read till now i always thought some personality traits makes someone loyal but everything is a lie and the way people got fucked over even after years after marriage and the stories i read im really empathic to the people got cheated on i feel like it happened to me and get emotional idk what to do im depressed and overthinking too much about something that never happened to me that i decided im done with this shit should just face the very own thing i fear and talk to actual girls rather than reading online about them

to the point

im going to college this is where i most likely find any relationship since im working on myself i feel i have a chance if im confident.i have been practising interactions with strangers getting motorcycle really helped as everyone kept asking for a ride picked like 4 people in the past week(noticed they all start conversation and keep talking) for them it might be free ride and i lose petrol but interactions helped .so to the point like 2 hours ago 10pm i went out buy my energy drink and some medicines for mom's headache saw this women lives in the same apartment started buying medicines i talked with her like 3 times i call her aunty. my mom is not social either she talked with her like 4 times this women has parlor few weeks ago in elevator she asked my mom is she wants her hair done she agreed gave appointment next day(sunday).next day she came but my mom didnt go she said she will come later but she never did or talked to her after.i had feeling she is pissed at my mom thought it would make it worse and make me look like a jerk if i let her walk at 10pm while there are so many drunks around when im actually going to the same place i thought it wouldn't hurt give her ride home asked her if she is going home she said yes i told her i could give her ride she said no need there is my husband. when i turn around there is her husband on motorcycle with kids he gave me an angry look asked her who is it then she said boy from 3rd floor i came back home did i do anything wrong in here i am making up all these scenarios that he will confront me tomorrow. i told my mom she got pissed she is angry recently about me giving lifts random people wasting fuel.dont help anyone unless they ask. she said i didnt do anything wrong she told this women's husband is controlling and they are in toxic relationship they always fight(there's always screams and fights in our apartment i dont know who is who even tho i live here) and he is really suspicious of her i should apologize if he confronts.or forgot it like never happened.given everything im going through this is the last thing i need

2023.06.04 00:11 Aesthetic_FuckerOwO {PICK A POV} [Horror Edition] (ft. Equalia Falls Mental Institute OCs)

TW: BODY HORROR, DISTURBING IMAGERY, BLOOD, GORE, CANNIBALISM, MURDER
Take this piece of shit while I work on a different type of Pick A POV lmao
OC 1 (Zekiel)
OC 2 (Lizzy)
OC 3 (Elixer)
-------------------------------------------
{POV 1}
OC Used: Elixer
~~~~
[8:09 AM]
[??/??/????]
[Equalia Falls Mental Institute]
~~~~~~~~~~~
You were born with the ability to see and hear things that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. However, when you told others about it, they saw you as crazy and insane.
It eventually got to a point where you were eventually shipped off to a mental institute, and you've been there since then.
Though for some reason, you've always felt something...off...about your new home...
For instance; Once you made a new friend a few days after your arrival, only for them to go missing a few days later...
Not only that, you've also been noticing several other patients would often be found on the halls covered in blood...
You tried not to think of it too much but it still irked you a lot.
~~~
{PRESENT TIME}
~~~
Recently, a new patient had arrived at the Institute a few days ago. His name was Elixer and he originally was a homeless orphan before a police officer caught him almost trying to kill someone...
Despite his origins, he genuinely seemed like a chill person!
Right now, you and the other patients are all hanging out at the Playground and you're happily swinging on the tire swing.
That is...until you're suddenly interrupted...
"NO!!! STOP IT!!! I WON'T JOIN YOU!!!" It was Elixer...
You looked over at him and you're terrified to see a female demon standing behind Elixer as many black tentacles swarm around him, all while Elixer is on his knees crying and covering his ears as the female Demon smiles at the sight, seemingly enjoying seeing him suffer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{POV 2}
OC Used: Lizzy
~~~~
[20:00 AM]
[??/??/????]
[Equalia Falls Mental Institute]
~~~~
You're a demon. You're mainly known for having caused the suffering of many, many innocent souls with no remorse whatsoever.
You've gone through many human hosts, all of them ending up not satisfying your expectations. And in the end you grew bored of your main tasks.
One day, you were walking around your void that you resided in when you heard a shrill noise in the distance.
Crying...Was that...what you thought it was?
You walked around, trying to find the source of the noise, before eventually you came up to what looked to be a small white bean. Upon closer inspection, you came to realize it was a small baby girl wrapped in a white blanket.
For some reason, you found yourself bending down and picking up the small girl into your arms, cradling her gently to stop her crying. Your actions proved successful as she soon quieted down and looked up at you with soft and small eyes the color of coal.
You couldn't help it; You smiled, feeling rather content with the small child's presence.
You slowly and carefully removed the blanket she was bundled in, casting it aside and replacing it with a beautiful Ivory faux fur coat, a small gift from you.
You chuckled as the baby giggled happily and reached out to you while cooing.
You never wanted this moment to end...
~~~
{PRESENT TIME}
~~~
You stood over your daughter, who you learned over the years was named Lizzy, as she trembled in fear upon seeing you, hastily backing into a corner of her dorm room. Your heart ached seeing her like this, but then again, you knew she would soon grow to tolerate you and accept you as her (mothefather).
Over the years, you managed to attach yourself onto Lizzy's soul as to keep a better eye on your beloved daughter. Unfortunately, this resulted in her going crazy and being sent off to a Mental Institution..
You swore to yourself that you would help her out of that disgusting place...unfortunately, she didn't seem to remember you and was always terrified when she saw you...
You held your arms, offering a hug as you took another step towards her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{POV 3}
OC Used: Zekiel ~~~~
[20:33 AM]
[??/??/????]
[Equalia Falls Mental Institute]
~~~~~
It's been almost a year since you and your friend, Zekiel, were transferred from Voidkin Asylum to Equalia Falls Mental Institute. And though it took awhile, you both eventually got used to your new surroundings.
At first Zekiel was scared. Seeing an environment where he was possibly vulnerable for HIM was a challenge for him to get used to. But after seeing the crucifixes in the dorms and locks on the doors as well as the nurses giving him a rosary to wear, he calmed down.
As for you, at first your were severely clingy towards Zekiel for a fear that if you didn't stay near him constantly, something would bad would happen to him...
...or worse...
But soon you grew more calmer the more nights you both encountered and survived together
~~~~
{PRESENT TIME}
~~~~
One night, you and Zekiel are peacefully sleeping in the dormitory you had chosen for the night. When you suddenly wake up to a roaring noise far different than what you're used to hearing.
You slowly open your eyes and your eyes widen when you see a seeming 9'2 tall demon standing over you while a shadowy humanoid figure stood in front of Zekiel's bed. Despite the humanoid having no face, you could tell it was glaring at the demon that towered over you.
Speaking of the demon, a sinister smile crept onto its face upon seeing you awake and you heard the shadow human emit a low growl...
What does it want with you?
Does it plan to do something horrible?
Most likely...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2023.06.04 00:08 BlueTwinFlame I deconstructed for a while and a spiritual experience brought me back to Jesus.

Here’s my silly testimony. I’m autistic by the way. Not related to my testimony, but it will explain a lot of my behaviors in this story.
These are not very recent events by the way. Except the last part about the job stuff.
I was raised Christian but I didn’t know much about Christianity. All I knew was to hate lgbtq+ people, pray for my food and pray before bed, but I never knew who I was praying to and why. I was just reciting the same script over and over. Nobody told me why Jesus died.
So I tried to fulfill myself with other things. I tried EVERYTHING. New Age spirituality, some nerdy philosophy stuff, smoked lemongrass at some point because a friend told me it worked for them (it doesn’t and it’s actually really silly in retrospect (but it smells GOOD(and makes really really good tea))), therapy, antidepressants & Ritalin (ADHD meds* (there’s a footnote at the bottom of this post)), but none of those gave me fulfillment.
I had deconstructed and I tried EVERYTHING to avoid Christianity. Something about just hearing about Jesus gave me an ick and made me want to throw up. I was part of the queer community (still am now) and participated in a lot of the hatred against Christians because a lot of them hated us back.
I was FAR from God. I was a passionate atheist and I’d ignore and laugh at every testimony.
An evangelist came up to me one day and asked me if I knew Jesus Christ, I said I did and they said something but I zoned out and started crying because I was already really stressed and overstimulated at that point and it was a bad time to come up to me.
Anyway, I got a Christian partner later on, and something about her was off. She never got really angry at me. We did have our disputes because it was human, but she dealt with it so well, it was uncanny. There was something about her that was so peaceful. This energy.
I knew a lot of good secular people who lived great lifestyles, but something about her… it’s hard to explain.
I decided to try and deconstruct her. So I showed them a bunch of videos by Genetically Modified Skeptic (great channel btw) and they kinda just giggled.
I was like… hello??? I had managed to deconstruct a lot of my Christian friends, but something was WRONG with her. Usually they were all left speechless and then I caught them at a dead end when they said something along the lines of “mysterious ways” and I led them to atheism or agnosticism.
But no. She didn’t care about theology. She had God IN her. She did defend a few things, but she said there’s no point in bombarding me with apologetics because no amount of theology would be enough to bring me to God.
I later decided I wanted to break up with them because I decided she’s a terrible person that needs a God to do good deeds or something along those lines. But I knew that wasn’t true. She did too. It’s much deeper than that. There was some sort of other force in her making her so… nearly perfect. And it wasn’t afterlife fear. She didn’t even believe in hell. She believed everyone went to heaven eventually and focused more on the now and the blessings God could bring her and how she would bless people around her.
I was confused. And ANGRY. We didn’t break up just yet, and she decided to bring me to a church. Sadly, the church was too overstimulating to me and I DID end up having a meltdown. A bad one. An embarrassing one. A PUBLIC ONE. Probably traumatizing to everyone around me. Some guy said I was possessed, which made it worse. 🙃
But that was no biggie, we just decided to do it at home because it was safer for me. We listened to a few old Hillsong songs and Gungor stuff and whatever. I put on my noise cancellers because I didn’t want to hear any stupid Christian music.
And she told me I’m TRYING not to listen and purposely blinding myself and since God was definitely not real to me, it shouldn’t be such a problem to hear a Christian song. I was really hurt by that (because I’m emotional as hell), but I did listen to the music. I liked it for the way it sounded, it had a nice rock vibe to it and it was way better than a lot of the CCM I grew up with.
I didn’t understand what the music was for…? But she then tried to pray for me and I was hesitant to stay in the room and let her do it, but at this point… what did I have to lose?
This is the silly part. Don’t remember what she prayed about, but man, I started crying. I thought I was about to have a meltdown, but the room was really quiet and I had my noise cancellers on and my shades and my leg warmers so I had not much reason to have one.
I got a tickling feeling in my chest and tears came out. Tears I was bottling in for YEARS. I just felt… amazing. It was awesome. It felt like my inner child came back to life.
It also turned out she was praying for me behind the scenes for a bit before that.
I was really really at peace and joy for the next few days. No, it wasn’t enough to turn me Christian because I still was avoiding that area and still really certain I was right, but I became agnostic because you can’t just IGNORE that. I was open to anything. Most of my anxiety (the irrational kind, not the anxiety of me worrying about having another public meltdown or the silly social anxiety) cleared up. I previously thought I had a personality disorder because I heard those can’t be cured and medicine didn’t work for that anxiety for me. But it was gone all of a sudden.
We’re still close friends. I couldn’t go to a church because of this silly disability I have, but I had this very strong conviction that I should come to Christ. So I did. Didn’t really know how to, I just declared myself a Christian. Just the label.
Then I read four gospels and Pauline stuff, watched brief summaries by BibleProject on some of the other books, and watched a lot of InspiringPhilosophy videos.
Then I decided to TRY to go to church and find the day where it was least busy so I wouldn’t have another meltdown. I made a time to go to the priest personally, and we did that, he talked about Jesus and faith and works and stuff I don’t really remember and I couldn’t really understand what he was saying most of the time (because of this SILLY disability), plus I was kinda uncomfortable because he thought I was weird and I could see it in his face.
So I just decided to watch a few sermons on YouTube because you can’t have subtitles in real life, and I talked to my friend (who was my ex partner) about it.
I have now accepted Jesus’ gift of salvation and I’ve become much of a better person.
I removed a lot of stuff from this because apparently Reddit has a 7000 character limit so I’m gonna put the rest in the comments.
Footnote: ADHD is a REAL neurological disability. I still need those meds for daily functioning, but I was saying they didn’t make me happy or fix the off-ness I felt. Please don’t stop taking your meds if you need them. While we have faith, remember to be wise. Be WISE. If your doctor tells you to take some meds, TAKE THEM. If you need a surgery, go to a SURGEON and not a PRIEST.

Freyr: Integrated Standing Stones of Skyrim: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/88043
Freyr overhauls the standing stones, changing them into race specific bonuses and powers. It synergizes with race overhaul Mannaz to provide an array of unique bonuses that greatly enhance replay value!
Features
Freyr replaces all standing stone effects. To increase variety and replay value, standing stones are now based on player race. Futhark project: Freyr integrates with race overhaul Mannaz.
New standing stones
Argonian
Apprentice - Regrow Limbs: Argonians regenerate 5% of maximum Health per second below 25% Health. Atronach - Hist Spores: Caustic Spit causes creatures and people to attack randomly for 20 seconds. Lady - Swamp Dweller: Argonian blood grants 50% Disease Resist. Lord - Dissolve: Caustic Spit turns targets below 20% Health into ash. Lover - Waterhome: Amphibious also restores Magicka and Stamina. Mage - Caustic Burn: Caustic Spit lasts twice as long. Ritual - Blood in the Water: Argonians gain 25% attack damage and critical damage whenever there is a nearby foe below 25% Health.

Warrior - Histskin: Argonians regenerate an additional 2% of their maximum Health per second.
Health regeneration underwater is 100 points per second, unaffected by Survival Mode. This balances out the warmth penalty Survival Mode applies to Argonians.
Breton
Freyr changes the effects granted by the Breton racial ability Stones of Galen in Mannaz (additional standing stone effect) from generic effects to Freyr-specific effects. As a result, each Breton standing stone effectively has two abilities:
Apprentice - Arcane Initiate: Once per battle, Bretons may activate a foe to deal random elemental damage equal to half your Destruction level. Apprentice - Dragonheart: Power attacks, bashes, and sneak attacks deal random elemental damage equal to half your Destruction level. Atronach - Coven Magic: The Atronach improves your spells and scrolls by 50% by consuming a Briarheart, Human Heart, or Human Flesh from your inventory. Atronach - Wyrdcraft: The Atronach grants a 15% chance to find a Human Heart or Human Flesh on humans they kill.

Ritual - Druidom: When a staff is drawn, spells are 50% more powerful but cost 50% more Magicka. Ritual - Circle of Galen: Magicka does not regenerate. When a staff is drawn, drains its charge level to replenish Magicka. Serpent - Dark Constellation: In combat, the unstars in the Serpent disable Magicka and Stamina regeneration and drain 5 points per second. Serpent-Star Curse: The effects of Dark Constellation are inflicted on all nearby foes within 33 feet. Shadow - Dead Noon: Holding a drawn bow costs 3x Stamina but will mark foes after 1 second per 25 Health. Shooting a marked foe deals a critical strike for 10 times critical damage. Shadow - Outlaw: Bretons move 40% faster while holding a drawn bow. Steed - Horsemanship: Bretons are adept at handling horses, improving the speed of their horse and that of nearby allies by 25%.

Tower - Iron Mask: While in combat, sneaking is 50% better, and sneak attacks deal 25% extra damage. Tower - The Donjon: Bretons may activate a living target while sneaking and out of combat to put the target in a mental slumber for 20 seconds or until struck by an attack. Costs 50 Magicka. Warrior - Combat Mastery: Bretons deal 15% extra attack damage and critical damage. Warrior - Warrior's Path: All Warrior skills improve 15% faster.
Circle of Galen will drain your left-hand staff first if two staves are equipped, and then drain your right-hand staff once it is depleted. Drain is 25 points per second, and you gain 100% faster Magicka regeneration in the process. Crown of Autumn and Old Stonework against each other for a total of 62.5% power attack damage when out of Stamina. Kingmaker gives an item every 10-20 minutes on average. The Donjon prevents the target from spotting you while sneaking or seeing you as an enemy, cancels their combat alarm status, and increases pickpocket chance by 20%.
Dark Elf
Apprentice - Spirit Walker: Ancestral Protector is now available once per battle instead of once per day. Atronach - Ashlander: Dark Elven blood grants an additional 25% Fire Resist.

Khajiit
Apprentice - Night Eye: (At will) Improved night vision for 60 seconds. Atronach - At the Crossroads: Khajiit receives a large sum of gold, but must pay it back with interest when the Atronach Stone is relinquished, or else... Lady - Moondew: Khajiit blood improves consumed potions and ingredients by 20%. Lord - Knead: Khajiit can power attack with single claws while sneaking, and claw damage is improved by 10 points. Lover - Purr: When an ally is within close range, Khajiit and the ally recover Magicka and Stamina 50% faster. Mage-Bling: Khajiit spells cost 5% less for each digit of gold carried, up to 50%.

Serpent - Shiny Distraction: Khajiit can activate humanoid opponents for 40 Gold per level to steal all Magicka and Stamina. Shadow - Prowl: Khajiit sneak 10% faster and are 40% harder to detect, but sneaking costs 10 Magicka per second.

At the Crossroads allows you to choose either 1K, 10K, or 100K gold, or to opt out of the Atronach Stone entirely. Interest is 10% and losing the Atronach Stone ability without having the required sum of gold in your inventory leads to death. Lunar Rush is an animation cancel and can be used to get out of power attack commitments, crossbow reloads or to avoid incoming damage. Whiskers grant an average of about 10 gold per kill.
Nord
Apprentice - Elder of Runes: The Apprentice transfers half of base Stamina regeneration to Magicka. Atronach - Shamanic Trance: All-Maker Stone powers used during Rage are returned to you if Rage is maintained for a further 8 seconds. Lady - Dream Journey: Sleeping grants a random All-Maker Stone power if you do not already have one. Lord - Atmoran Heritage: Nord blood grants 50% Frost Resist. Lover - Moth's Grace: Nords are immune to stagger from power attacks and bashes during Rage. Mage - Owl's Insight: Nord wisdom causes your Rage to drain Stamina instead of Magicka.

Warrior - Bear's Strength: Nord strength grants an additional 100 points of armor.
Elder of Runes almost doubles base Magicka regeneration due to the discrepancy between base Stamina regeneration (5%) and base Magicka regeneration (2.5%). All-Maker Stone effects will tie into an upcoming Futhark mod. Attacks of opportunity are a Valravn feature and result in extra damage when attacking an enemy from behind or while taking certain actions; Freyr no longer requires Valravn, but consult the Valravn mod page for more information.
Orc
Apprentice - Berserk: (At-will power for 100 Magicka) Doubles attack damage and critical damage dealt and halves attack damage taken for 10 seconds. Atronach - Bloodhowl: Gain Berserk for 10 seconds when you fall below 25% Health. This effect has a 30-second cooldown. Lady - Carnage: 15% chance to gain Berserk for 10 seconds when you kill a foe. This effect has a 30-second cooldown. Lord - Warlordstomp: Warstomp also reduces armor by 500 points for 10 seconds. Lover - Bloodthirst: Orcs heal when they kill a foe. Healing is equal to 25% of its negative Health. Mage - Warlockstomp: Warstomp also inflicts 50% weakness to magic for 10 seconds.

Warrior - Orc Smash: Orcs inflict 20% extra damage and critical damage with power attacks.
Multiple sources of Berserk (with the Aetherial Crown) do not stack.
Redguard
Apprentice - Contemplation: Redguards regenerate an additional 5% of maximum Mana per second when out of combat. Atronach - Adrenaline Rush: Changes Shehai to restore 5% of maximum Stamina per second and grant 15% movement speed instead. Lady - Conditioning: Redguard blood grants 50% Disease Resist. Lord - Ibex: Take 20% less attack damage from opponents if you are currently stronger than them. Lover - Shahrazad: Changes Shehai to summon a spellcasting spirit.

Warrior - Coyote: Deal 25% extra attack damage and critical damage to opponents if you are currently stronger than them.
Effects that trigger "if you are stronger than your opponents" take into account the current number of opponents, level difference, and current Health difference, so they will always activate at some point during any fight. Adrenaline Rush and Shahrazad replace your Shehai effect, removing the original effect. Adrenaline Rush has the same duration as Shehnai. Shahrazad has the same duration as Shehai and spawns with a random Destruction and Conjuration staff based on level, dealing 1% of base Destruction damage per point of Magicka and 1% of base Conjuration duration per point of Stamina. Jinniya of the Lamp grants a wish every 1001 minutes (16 hours and 41 minutes), granting a choice of 100K-500K gold + 20-40 rare items; +10-20 to each attribute; +2-4 perk points; or +5-10 dragon souls. There is a countdown on the effect in your Magic Effects list.
Wood Elf
Apprentice - Wanderer: Wood Elves regenerate Magicka and Stamina 50% faster when outdoors. Atronach - Firewatch: When a target detected by Wild Senses enters combat within 10 seconds, it loses 25% Health. Lady - Skyclad: Harrier has a 33% chance to unequip the target's armor in combat if they are humanoid. Lord - Green Pact: Can ritually eat dead humanoid foes who had been marked by Harrier in combat, fortifying all attributes equal to its level for 15 minutes.

Thief - Bushman: Wood Elves are 50% harder to detect by targets that are being spotted with Wild Senses. Tower - Aerie: While Harrier is not hunting or in combat, it accompanies you, regenerating 4% of maximum Health per second.
Warrior - Thunderbird: Harrier has a 50% chance to knock targets in combat into the air.
Firewatch and Hunter's Eye linger for 10 seconds after breaking Wild Senses, giving you a chance to attack them and activate the effects.

2023.06.03 23:55 Lauraemr84 Step kids hate me

Today my husband took my son to the zoo to see his siblings because they won’t come to our house anymore because of my drinking (they were last here march of this year).
I’m not an angry or mean drunk and frankly I barely got in their way, never drove drunk, didn’t fight with them, I went out of my way to create space and opportunities for them and honestly it feels wasted. I feel like I wasted time drinking but I feel like I also wasted time on them. They just walked out and don’t give a shit about me anymore, and I’m bitter. I was an excellent step mother. But im just dead to them, and honestly I don’t really understand why. Sure I drank too much but I mostly just went to bed early, and they got to spend time with their dad. When we did hang out we played wii and card games and had fun.
I was bummed about this tonight and thought about going to a local place “just to eat” but I knew I’d drink so I took a super long hot bath, and I’m now in pajamas before 6pm with my Gatorade and a true crime podcast.
Sorry for the whining. I know they’re kids and it’s my addiction but I’m still hurt. I was a completely normal drinker- especially in front of them - until like 2 years ago.
Anyway I’m gonna sit with these shitty feelings. IWNDWYT

2023.06.03 23:52 EvolvingAmoeba Iron Sol- Prolouge

In the beginning, u/SpacePaladin15 created the Nature of Predators. The Nature of Predators was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the screen; and the Spirit of Spacepaladin15 was moving over the face of the paragraphs. And Spacepaladin15 said, "Let there be carnivores"; and there were carnivores. And Spacepaladin15 saw that the carnivores were good; and Spacepaladin15 separated the carnivores from the herbivores. Spacepaladin called the carnivores Predators, and the herbivores he called Prey. And there were packs and there were herds, one chapter.
CW: Literally Space Hitler + xeno slavery
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory transcription subject: Führer Erik Von Koch of the Menschenreich
Date [standardized human time]: May 6, 2142

I opened my eyes as the definitive clacking of heels grew ever closer to the threshold of my dressing room. Looking straight ahead, I silently observed the untertier-servants in the mirror while they prepared me for the long day ahead of me. The declawed gojid filing my right hand dedicated itself to its work, most likely to intentionally avoid eye contact. To my left, a violet-colored krakotl with a liberally clipped beak brushed the tangles out of my long golden hair while shivering slightly upon noticing my gaze in the reflection. Below me crouched in front of my seat underneath the table was my servant-pet, Jeko, shining my boots. The young little venlil noticed me looking down at him and began beaming with obvious enjoyment, his tail wagging and ears twitching adorably. Unlike the others, this animal did not fear me, for I had been raising him since he was just a little mewling pup.
"Am I doing a good job, master? Are your boots shiny enough?" he asked with an innocent head tilt.
Looking down at my boots, I could see a glint in the glossy surface, even whilst concealed by the poor lighting. I couldn't help but respond with a slight smile and reach down with my free hand to stroke his creamy fur. he pushed his head back against the touch with his bestial eyes closed.
"You've done such a great job, my little lamb-chop! You're already becoming such a good little helper, aren't you?"
Reko merely giggled, as the other servants continued their work with what seemed to be a newfound sense of morbid awkwardness. It was obvious that the other untertiere found the concept of pets to be quite disturbing. Why this is, exactly, very few knew the truth. Some like to theorize it stems from some form of contempt for the beasts who willingly fawn to their superiors, resulting in some crude sense of pride being wounded in the process of watching one of their own gleefully lower themself to such a level. But I personally think that gives them a bit too much credit and pertain to a different explanation; that it is a sense of envy rather than contempt that jars them so. Perhaps they look upon those blissfully ignorant eyes and wish they too could experience such shameless joy. Or perhaps they simply notice the obvious preferential treatment given to them by their masters and feel envious. Either way, I've always found it quite amusing, which is why I had begun letting Jeko chip in during my morning routine.
"My Führer, you've been personally requested at your office in the Volkshalle with due haste... It's the hotline," my secretary informed me at the door.
I looked up at the short-haired woman with a momentary surprise. "Already? But I haven't even had breakfast yet. Shit... Alright, alright... I'll be out in a second... Wrap it up, you animals!"
I should've expected this much. After what I had.. ahem, failed to notice what Jägermeister Wilson just did in this latest campaign on the spur-distal front, I knew it was only a matter of time before I had Chief President Calamari Killjoy crawling up my ass. swivelling my chair around I promptly stood up, taking one last peak in the mirror to adjust my uniform and inspect the work of my servants. Seeing that it was adequate enough for the rushed job, I shooed the creatures away to their other tasks while bounding towards the hall. Reaching the end of my living quarters, two guards on the other side of the double doors greeted me in salute as I pushed the doors open. Continuing past them, I marched through the dark cryptoporticus lined with even more saluting guards until the hallway opened up into the ever-impressive dome of the Volkshalle, a sight that never grew old. I couldn't help but stop and stare at and admire the massive hall yet again for a few seconds of my valuable time before I continued on my way. A flight of beautifully detailed marbled stairs and a couple more turns later and I found myself pushing past the guards of the Führer's office before they could even properly salute me. Quickly closing the door behind me and locking it shut, I scanned the perimeter of the office, and noticing I was entirely alone and there was nothing out of place, I took a deep breath and calmly walked over to the holo screen waiting for me at the end of the massive table. Sitting myself down at the head of the table, the iconic crimson insignia of the Menschenreich and two golden statues of the great eagle clutching its talons upon the globe stood gloriously behind my visage. Steeling myself, I let out a sigh and pushed the "accept" button on the video chat. The screen lit up and momentarily flashed with white before a fuzzy image of an all too familiar hideous blue beast buffered and cleared up.
"Von Koch? Von Koch? There you are!" Gurgled out the oversized amphibian-mollusk thing. Her bulbous protruding eyes squinted with irritation and her generous width was hugged by crossed tentacles. "Have you any idea how long I've been waiting for you to stalk your way out of your lair!?"
Instead of yelling back, I politely bore my teeth at her, being sure to show off my slightly larger than average canines. "And a good morning to you too, Miss Universe. Or is it evening on your hemisphere of Aafa? Anyway, long time no see! Tell me, how have things been faring on the.. fairer side of space?"
Chief Lellaete scoffed at my nonchalant demeanor and begin rapidly flicking through her screen with a tendril. "You tell me."
Eventually, video footage of the glorious fall of the dossur homeworld, the triumphant victory of mankind over the foul krakotl-led defense fleet that tried to vainly defend it, and finally live feed of the beginning stages of the glassing of the planet all appeared before me.
"What's the problem? Just looks like business as usual to me..." I smirked.
Gritting her teeth, her blue face seemed to take a hue of purple, which was both impressive and horrifying as I never realized kolshians could do that. "The problem is that you've overextended by tens of lightyears more than we agreed to! You said this campaign would just be a 'little expansion of necessity.' This does not look very 'little' to me!"
"Oh come on, thirty light-years can't be that big. Not for you guys, at least. Our territory is still nowhere near a single core world. I think you're blowing this a bit out of proportion. What value did the dossur ever offer to the Federation, anyways?"
"One of your hunter misers or whatever the hell you call them just bombed four more homeworlds into shambles within the last eight months! You predators are out of line! This wasn't part of the agreement! Back off now or you will face the wrath of Aafa in full strength!"
Wincing and sucking in air between my teeth, I held out my arms and presented my palms in a surrendering manner. "Alright, alright... Listen, you know how human nature is. We sometimes get a bit ahead of ourselves. Moreover, keeping up morale is very important for us, and out of all my Jägermeisters, Wilson knows this best. That's just how he is. Always going for the moral victory and whatnot..."
I trailed off as I noticed Lellaete's face was somehow an even more violet shade of purple than it was before. Seeking to defuse the situation before she blew her gasket, I continued just before she could open her wide mouth.
"That being said, I realize he has been perhaps a bit.. too zealous in his duties. So all you have to do is send an extermination fleet or two to the other side of the front and I'll have the perfect reason to pull him off and tell him to defend. Now isn't that awfully convenient for the little rodents? Then, we can allll take a deep breath and settle down for some more casual cattle raiding and predator exterminations for the next few years with our campaign declared a partial success and your extermination fleets celebrating another sobering pyrrhic victory to put the fear of predators into them. How does that sound to you, Chief?"
The kolshian bowed her head and squinted her eyes at me in tense silence before straightening back up with a sudden calm that was a bit unnerving even to me. "Very well. But we will also be taking back the Sethmokin homeworld."
dammit, that was the one I wanted to keep!
The unusually low gravity of the Sethmokin homeworld Ithilus combined with its mild temperature and mineral-rich crust made it an ideal place for a space elevator supported industrial megacenter. The kolshians clearly knew this too, as evidenced by Chief Lellaete singling it out and prying it from my hands with no hint of subtly whatsoever. Unfortunately, they seem to be slowly catching on to my gradual ramping up of industry. Not wanting to push my luck any further, I had no choice but to concede with what I had already gotten, lest the "predator-prey agreement" falls apart.
"Excellent!" I beamed at the frowning slimy herbivore as the pads of my digits pressed together. "I'm glad we could settle this issue peacefully."
"Stay in line, Von Koch. We never had to use the hotline with your predecessors nearly as much as with you. We can't have things looking too dire, or too relaxed. The Federation needs a predator, just as you need prey."
"Yes, yes, I understand, the Ewigkeitskrieg must continue forever and all that..."
"Hmph! Good to know even a beast as unruly as yourself can see reason."
I bite my tongue, instead shutting my eyes and spotting a closed-mouth smile in an exaggeratedly polite manner before reaching over to terminate the call. If I had to spend one more moment speaking to this detestable thing I might just pop a cyanide pill into my mouth. At the very least, nothing too problematic or convoluted happened to complicate future plans.
"Well, if that will be all then, don't hesitate to call again, Chief! After all, I know how you herd animals can get rather needy after all soo.." I chirped at my greatest adversary and accomplice.
"Wait. There is one more thing I need to tell you."
My finger which hovered over the "end" button strained and slowly curled into a white-knuckled fist.
Now what could it possibly be, my ectolan friend?" I answered, still smiling with my clenched fist above the holo pad surface.
"You humans are no longer alone. There's another predator race in the galaxy."
The awkward smile slowly dissipated from my face and my eyes opened up to gaze at the kolshian. I had to be sure I was hearing things right.
"What?"
"You heard me. We believe there is now a second predator race in the galaxy. One that is even more carnivorous than you, in fact, and they have just developed faster-than-light travel."
"How?" Was all I could croak out of my slacked jaw.
"My, such a prey-like look on your face!" snickered Chief Lellaete. "But if you must know, it was... Well, we are equally shocked, really. The farsul discovered them and spent decades observing them, as they usually do with primitives. They told us they destroyed themselves in their world's fourth world war after developing the atomic bomb about three hundred years ago. But it seems they either somehow survived nuclear armageddon or the armageddon part never happened in the first place. And before you ask, yes, that is all the Farsul States will tell us. A simple, careless error on their part for failing to confirm their extinction..."
I sat there completely stunned into silence.
Is it really true? After all these years of being alone, there is finally a second race of predators? Of people? Of übertiere?
The kolshian took my silence as an invitation to continue elaborating. "They call themselves the arxur, and their existence has already begun muddying up the waters."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"What I mean is that they have only been spacefaring for two months, and already they have allied with the thafki and convinced them to seemingly betray the Federation.
"Th-they allied with the prey!?"
"It's disgusting, I know, but it seems to be the truth. Our kinds are meant to be in eternal opposition. No one was around to give them the memo, apparently." Lellaete answered monotonously.
Bringing a palm to my temple and resting the elbow on the armrest, my mind began racing before a far more pressing matter revealed itself. "And why are you telling me all this, exactly?" My eyes narrowed.
"Because I don't trust a single cube in your icebox, Von Koch. I'm telling you right now so that when your kind inevitably encounters them, you can't pull anything funny and try to feign ignorance, as you already seem to be in the habit of doing. All I'm asking is that you let the Federation handle this for now. We will get them to the right way of thinking after we get them under control. Then you can finally have your first official ally once you 'save' them from us. Or eat them. Or throw them into gas chambers. We don't really care at that point; you can do whatever you want with them. Congratulations to mankind for finally finding a species as corrupted and ghastly as yourself."
I simply stared at the kolshian unabated. "And what will happen if they do not come to see 'our way', exactly?"
The Federation leader leaned in, and a strange glint seemed to catch in her large, horizontally pupiled eyes that made me want to shutter. "I think you know very well the answer to that question, Führer."
I scoffed. "What an awfully predatory look on your face... Fine, I can see you already have the reins on the situation then, but the same goes for you as well; mess things up and it will ruin everything!"
The kolshian narrowed her eyes with conceit. "Heh. Perhaps we aren't so different from each other after all."
Terminating the call before I could rebuke that heinous conjecture, I finally let my arms slump down into my sides. This is why I despised the herbivores so much, and the kolshians seventy seven fold.
"Filthy untertier..."
Getting up from my chair, I slowly meandered over to the Wall of Führers, and starting from my own portrait, I gazed at each and every one, mostly lost in my own thoughts, until finally I rested my eyes directly upon the first and stopped.
Surely this isn't what he wanted the Reich to become.
Although it was true that I along with every other previous Führer after the Founder was a willing accomplice to the Ewigkeitskrieg between the Federation and the Menschenreich, deep down, it truly made me sick to my stomach working with those squid-frogs. Supposedly, the Founder despised the xenos and their intervention of Earth from the moment they made first contact, purely on principle, and this was rightfully so. For the sapient herbivore is nothing more than a husk, a mindless creature that can act only upon instinct. Their so-called 'higher intelligence' is nothing more than a mere slave to these impulses, and thus does the herbivore-folk seek to do nothing but destroy and defile the ecosystem that gave life to them by burning away any trace of predation or aggression in sight. Feeling safe at last from the natural order they so despise, they begin to scour their planets like a ravenous locust swarm. They proceed to breed profusely until their numbers swell into innumerable hordes and then, upon reaching and overshooting the carrying capacity of their planet, the herd moves on to new worlds, so that they might do the same there. Even beasts who wallow in the mud at the very least know how to live in harmony with nature and the universe at large, but the herbivore xeno is incapable of this. This is why they are less than animals. This is why they are the untertier. And out of all the hideously vile and contemptible untertiere which corrupt this galaxy like a foulest cancer, none are so hypocritical, deceitful, and subversive as the kolshian scum. Chillingly intelligent and calculating, they ofttimes liken themselves to true persons, perhaps to the point of deceiving even themselves. But truly, one needs only to look upon their 'works' to see that in the end, they too are nothing but slaves to the urges of the untertier. Chief Lellaete, she, no, it is but a puppet master of the lesser untertiere with it itself gleefully serving the master that is fear and cowardice.
But these new predators, if things are true as the kolshians say, are different. They may finally be the second known race of übertiere in the entire galaxy. And here are the ectolan scum, already conspiring against them. They have always been meddling in everything, long before they irrevocably ruined the Earth with their tampering, and if something is not done about it, they will continue to do so long after we are gone. That is why I want more for the Menschenreich than this eternal conspiracy. Why I want an end to the Ewigkeitskrieg. My predecessors were wise, and knowing that directly going against the will of the Federation was suicide, began the Ewigkeitskrieg with them. But sometime during this war without an end, they grew weak. Cowardly. Complacent. But I hunger for more! For what is the meaning behind a thousand-year Reich if nothing is ever accomplished in that millennium? How can mankind ever call itself the übertier if it does nothing but sit in eternal stagnation? No, the eternity we have is but a farce. But one day, this will change, for I will bring about the end of eternity, and in its wake, I shall construct a true eternity, one of prosperity, glory, and pride for all of humanity forever! And this advent of a second race of predators may yet prove an opportunity! This could be the stir in the pot I've been waiting for! The universe has presented me with a grand question concerning the kolshian-puppeted Federation, and I have the final solution!
Do you hear that, Chief Lellaete? I will continue to play your little "predator and prey" game for the time being... But soon, very soon, with the help of these "arxur", I shall finally bring about the Viecherdämmerung! And just as the Founding Führer once united the Earth and cleansed it of all the degenerate, savage, and subversive untermensch, so too will I cleanse the galaxy of the untertier, so that the glory of the Menschenreich shall spread to every star, shining like a beacon in the darkness of the void of space for ten thousand years!

2023.06.03 23:50 Rednidedni A complete breakdown of spellcasters and why they're fantastic

There's been this looming ghost of martial classes and spellcasters being compared to eachother, and the repeated quiet sentiments that the latter are just... sub-par. So, in a vain attempt to end the doubt for at least some people, I've decided to hop right into the ring and lay out in detail how exactly this part of the game has been carefully designed, how the math behind it ticks, what the little quirks and asterisks are, and why spellcasters are ultimately powerhouses and in an overall fantastic spot right now.
On Martials
You always need two points to make a comparison, so we've got to talk about martial characters for a moment. Martial characters have some defining features throughout:

They don't have many abilities, but those are very strong abilities, and they can be used infinitely. Fighter has the classic +2 accuracy, and starts with Attack of Opportunity. Inventor has a cool invention with special unstable abilities and consistent damage boosts.
They do a lot of damage. Like, a lot lot. Most of their abilities enhance the already high output of Strikes with magical martial weapons, and those that don't (such as Champion's Reaction, Monk's high speed and action economy or Outwit Ranger) offer very strong other benefits.
Their defenses are superior.
Getting additional abilities (f.e. Athletics maneuvers, Demoralize, Medic Dedication) for them is pricey in terms of feats, ability boosts, and/or skill increases.

They are specialists at their things - they do a low amount of things really well, and going beyond that is tied to opportunity costs. That low amount of things also includes one of the most important things in a game like this: Single target damage. They can focus fire to knock out weak targets quickly and very effectively apply themselves to kill enemies, which is how fights are won.
So if martials win fights... what is the point of spellcasters?
On Spell effects
Well, what is it spellcasters get? Various degrees of average-to-poor defenses, cantrips, and limited spell slots to cast things with. Let's pick four popular good spells to keep an eye on thoughout this analysis:

Fireball. Lv3 spell, 6d6 damage in a 20ft burst on a basic save, with an extremely high range.
Heal. Lv1 spell, 1d8+8 healing at 30ft range or other more niche but occasionally more useful applications.
Slow. Lv3 spell, slowed 1 at 30ft range. Lasts a minute on failed save, or a round on passed save.
Air Walk. Lv4 spell, allows you to walk through the air for 5 minutes.

Right off the bat, it can be noted that none of these effects are things martial characters can achieve, or at the very least not at those levels.

Fireball's 6d6 is quite high by even by the standards of a full turn of single-target ranged martial attacks, and has far more range, area and damage than any analogues like Inventor's Explode. It also covers a HUGE area.
Heal allows for explosive ranged healing numbers beyond what even a Medic Archetype can do, and it doesn't even need a roll to get there.
Slow inflicts a significant debuff to the action economy of a foe that can only be approximated with things such as stunning strike, everyone stepping away from a melee foe, or a Trip that wants the foe to stand back up again - while all of those have their own advantages, Slow can do this for a whole minute instead of once, and - again - from range.
Air Walk gives something that's usually akin to better flight, granting pseudo-melee-immunity and allowing you to basically just ignore terrain without lingering action costs, earlier than a martial character could - even later, outside of a very select few ancestry feats and costly and limited magic items, it's extremely difficult to gain that inferior flight otherwise.

Wow, those are some incredibly good effects! That could become pretty busted. So what's the catch? On one hand it's limited spell slots, and...
On Enemy Saving Throws
Enemies have good saving throws. Saving throws vary a lot between different stats and enemies, but if you're forcing an enemy of equal level (which is likely stronger than the average!) with a perfectly average saving throw ("Moderate" save in Monster Building Guidelines) to save against your spells, they only have between a 35% and 45% chance to fail it, depending on your level (Odds increase at lv19+). Similarly, martial characters enjoy a 55 to 65% chance to hit with their attacks against the average tough foe ("High" AC in Monster Building Guidelines"). That is a... sizeable difference. How come?
A big part of it is: Spells very rarely actually miss. Most do something even on a successful save, where an attack just completely whiffs - in the white room above, the spell has a 15-5% chance of doing nothing, where the attack has 45-35%. And those save effects are often no jokes either - Fireball still does 3d6 (which is comparable to a longbow fighter hitting), Slow still saps an action. Not big and impressive, but far better than nothing. It really adds up over time.
So much so infact, that the aforementioned fireball - at level 5, where the gap huge at 40% fail chance vs. 75% hit chance - can very nearly match the damage of that longbow fighter in single target damage. The one thing that fighter is meant to be really good at. That's how strong 6d6 basic save is. Fireball is most certainly not meant to be a single target spell. Blasting is good, folks.
On Versatility of Defenses
That whiteroom math just now was probably inaccurate.
It helps to give a rough frame of reference, but the world is not made out of High AC and Moderate Saves - it's made out of all kinds of statistics. Here comes another facet of the discussion: Martials can only use a few skill actions to target things other than AC. Almost all of their main prowess - Strikes - goes into specifically AC. Casters get to target three different saves and also still AC if they feel like it. It can go either way for any given defense, but if you know where to aim for, you get an immediate significant boon to your accuracy on basically any given creature. But how can you do that?
Well, here's a bit of an asterisk: Recall Knowledge or guessing based on descriptions. One is unreliable based on how the table runs it (at least until it gets Remastered in november), one is unreliable based on intuition and curveballs. However, I believe most tables run RK in a way that lets you gather some clues here (and the rest should!) - the high mental stats of spellcasters often also give an advantage in using just that. That action can also be beneficial for martials deciding maneuvers, or can be just as beneficial if they take the action and share their findings. Use it!
(And if you're a charisma caster instead, you're in turn uniquely able to lower those saves yourself via Demoralize and Bon Mot!)
On Versatility of Effects
But that's not all! Not only do different spells target different defenses, but they also do vastly different things. This right here is the true crux of spellcaster power, the rest is just setup. Remember Martials at the beginning: Specialized in hitting things. Really bloody good at hitting things. Solid at some other things if built for it. What can casters do?
Basically anything.
Fireball blows up groups of foes. Slow partially disables a single foe for a longer time and makes their life suck with some teamwork to waste more actions. Pirouette into Heal next round to retcon the enemy attempt to focus fire with no check, Air Walk after the fight to ignore a stupidly slippery cliff or gain blanket melee near-immunity! And that's just four spells. There are so many good effects among them that I couldn't possibly list them all. Yeah, your best tools run out fast and you just don't really have anything that matches the raw power of martial strikes - but depending on your spell list you can make damn near anything else. Walls, forced movement, an incredible array of utility magic that I don't have space to detail more in this post beyond saying it's really helpful, auto-hit magic missiles that outdamage melee fighters against bosses, twenty types of controls and debuffs, a rainbow of damage types for weaknesses, loads of buffs, spells with long durations that you can just cast before facing danger so you get free action buffs, naturally including many, many ways to make said martials much better at using that great raw power they have. Remember kids, if your +1 made the ranger hit, that's your damage!
On Incapacitation
Ah, the dreaded spell trait. Good spells, until a certain enemy level is hit, then they fall off a cliff. A rough solution of wanting "Spells should be awesome and be able to annihilate a foe with horrible conditions" and "Spells should not be able to wreck bosses" in the same game. Many are also single-target, meaning they would be the best in fights against single foes... but that's exactly where they're often useless! Why take something like this over something like Slow, that always works?
Because Incapacitation spells have more powerful effects than those other spells. Doesn't work against the lone boss, no, but might well work against the boss who brought their friends to the party. The conditions these spells inflict are truly horrible and can set foes back so badly. Blindness often more than halves a foe's effectiveness. Impending Doom may be delayed, but comes with -4 AC one round in. Calm Emotions is way up there, taking enemies out the fight like we're playing D&D 5e. Baleful Polymorph actually just a stunlock, Color Spray pretends a Blind and minute-long Dazzle in a cone pretends it's anywhere near putting Frightened 2 on one guy... and remember, if you use top-level slots (as you should), that level limit is not half bad. You can hit APL+0 and on uneven levels even APL+1 foes - you can debilitate foes utterly when they're still just as strong as your entire character combined, or perhaps stronger. In one go. No crits needed. Try them sometime.
On Spell Attacks
So if casters can do anything, what if they pretended to be a Martial? Similarly to how save spells are less accurate, spell attacks are infamous for lacking half damage on miss while still having the reduced accuracy of a spellcaster. They don't even get potency runes! What gives? Short answer, three things:

These Spell Attacks tend to hit unusually hard, making up for poor accuracy
Like all spells, they're designed to be situational and only used in paticularly appropiate situations (see above), making up for resource drain
True Strike

Martials are superior at single target damage, but Casters can spend resources with certain single target spells like most of these to keep up and exceed them briefly with this. Remember - versatility is strength. Copying martials all day is no bueno. But copying martials just a little, for when you could really use another martial specifically right now... that's something that calls for good single target damage, and these might just be what you need. It's not the biggest niche to fill, but it's certainly not one to be completely ignored either!
Here's a graph for one such situation, comparing a few different attacks to a Flurry Longbow Ranger taking (only?) three shots. Target is an equal-level foe with High AC.
No Spell Attack Potency runes required!
The numbers are in direct comparison to the Ranger's damage output - so f.e. the basic Hydraulic Push at level 5 does about -20% average damage compared to the ranger, while the true strike'd version is at +20%. Crits and accuracy are accounted for, so are all the various stat and rune increases (including two elemental damage runes for the ranger at 9 and 15!). However, the ranger arguably doesn't need three actions to pull their shots off, unlike True Striked spells - and all spells here are cast at their maximum available level, so they're more expensive than you might want. But Hydraulic Push is also not the hardest hitting attack around (I picked it to keep things smooth from 1-20). Curiously, some of the spell attacks do much better in comparison against those hard-to-hit higher level foes - True Strike scales better than MAP attacks, it turns out. Is this situationalness worth it, when an AoE spell can dish out much higher raw numbers? How many Rangers do you need in your magic beam for it to be worth it? Ultimately, that's up for you to decide. If you don't like the prospects of only out-martialing the martial slightly and temporarily, you have many other great options after the first levels - but they're probably no good match for when you need to hit that one guy over there really bloody hard, right now. (Oh, and a Psychic taking True Strike on an Amp blows past all but one of these curves!)
Wait, you keep comparing to bows. What about melee?
Well, if spells are largely ranged, it makes sense to compare them to other ranged options, right? If you don't agree, things turn out similarly if we replace things with melee martials, except those martials have less actions to spend on attacking, are in more risky positions, and hit significantly harder with the actions they do have.
On Low Levels
All of these things cost spell slots - something that low level casters severely lack. The gap between level 1 and 2 spells is often huge, and where high level casters struggle to earnestly run out of spell slots, low level casters can burn out in just a few combats - early on, even a few turns!
Turns out, cantrips are actually really bloody potent at those. A telekinetic projectile doing 1d6 plus 4 damage isn't impressive, but when the ranged martials don't even get to have damage modifiers, the melee folks have to melee at a level where one lucky crit can be all it takes, and where the martials have no runes yet for superior accuracy... there's suprisingly good utility to that. Especially if you - you guessed it - picked electric arc. Not all cantrips are created equal, and... well, it is what it is, and that is not very well balanced. Healing spells are super good here and Magic Weapon is probably more than a little bit overpowered, and every tradition can access two out of three between these, so casters are definetely able to give impressive contributions even here.
Conclusion
Despite the accuracy and limitations, between all of these explanations, there is one core truth to why spellcasting is good: Having just the right spell, at just the right time, is the single most powerful thing you can possibly do in this game. A fireball doing more raw damage than the fighter will do this entire fight. A Heal coming just in time to save a life, or just a turn of unconciousness, or frying an undead horde. A Slow keeping a boss in perpetual lockdown because they got somewhat unlucky once. An Air Walk that the enemies just... can't respond to. (This is also why the Flexible Spellcaster archetype is actually pretty nifty - you're so much more likely to have just that right spell prepared somewhere.) Keep many tools around and keep your options open. The martials bring home most of the damage to progress those enemy health bars to zero... but when they miss and the enemy crits, when the terrain is screwy, when the dragon has wings and just keeps burning everything down, that's when "I am REALLY good at attacking" shows a distinct lack of plan Bs. Martials do not win fights. Martials progress fights. This is a team game, and if you don't work together, the dragon wins. Casters are the ones that pull the strings in the back and make sure the fight actually progresses in your favor.
And sometimes the boss Nat 1s against Slow. Then yeah, they definetely just win that fight.

"Okay, I get that spellcasters are useful, but I don't feel useful. They're boring to play!"
Okay, but... how much would you need to feel useful, when you're already being useful? As in, what should the game give you beyond making you actually be useful?
Taste is highly subjective and you're of course not wrong for feeling like that. Nothing is for everyone. But is the problem here within the game, or within perspective? Perhaps the best fix here is shifting the perspective a little - how much did I achieve through my martials or protect them from? How would things have turned out if I wasn't there to make life hard for the foes?
And to everyone else, thank your supports! You've got plenty reason to.
"Okay, but I don't want versatility. I don't want a bag of tricks, I just want to be really good at blowing stuff up and not deal with all of this!"
That I can entirely get behind. PF2e did a great job at making d20-style do-anything magic balanced and mechanically reasonable, but it indeed is built to discourage preparing only fireballs. Perhaps Psychic being more geared towards this kind of thing will help, or Kineticist can fill that niche as a magic-user who's built on a martial chassis, or maybe we'll even get an Elementalist rework in august that makes that useful. Until then, we can only hope.

2023.06.03 23:42 TheShadowspawn Chapter Forty-Seven - The Hunt

Alien Captain: "Human Dave, is this truly something that you wish to do?"
Human Dave: "Absolutely not, but I can't really tell the War-kin to take a hike, so I guess we're doing this."
Human Dave and Captain have landed their ship once more on Keltiss XI, after receiving a message from the War-kin that Human Dave previously encountered and defeated.
Keltiss War-kin: "Ah, Human. I am gladdened to know that you received our message."
HD: "... you are acting far more polite than when we last met."
KW: "Back then, you fought for your people. You have proven yourself to be a man of honour and have earned our respect, Human."
AC: "..."
KW: "You both are welcome amongst our kind, but the Keltiss have a request to make of your people."
AC, to himself: "Here we go."
KW: "The Keltiss have deemed you worthy to ally ourselves with, and would like to offer an alliance between our peoples."
HD: "... you called us to offer an alliance?"
KW: "Yes. We will solidify the Pact of Warriors between our people after the First Hunt."
HD: "Hunt?"
KW: "Correct. You will help us to conquer this wild planet by hunting with us, to show that you are worthy to fight alongside us on the field of battle. Then, you will partake in the spoils with us, and we will feast on the flesh of our kill!"
The surrounding Keltiss roar in anticipation.
KW: "We leave now."
A group of Keltiss usher both Human Dave and Captain with them towards the entrance of the camp.
AC: "If we die because you didn't refuse, Human Dave, I will blame you."
HD: "That's fair, Captain."
...
Keltiss XI is a lush world; the major landmasses covered in dense tropical rainforests filled with unseen dangers.
The Keltiss seem right at home as they traverse the rough, uneven landscape.
Human Dave and Captain, less so.
AC: "Why is it so hard to move here?"
HD: "... feels like gravity is somehow stronger here than it was in the camp."
KW: "A quirk of the planet. The lands under the trees are stronger than lands that have been cleared. More dense. Which serves well in the hunt. If our unblooded cannot learn to move in the forest, then that is all they amount to."
AC: "..."
HD: "What are we hunting?"
KW: "We call it Xauiel. A creature of immense power. And good eating."
The surrounding Keltiss begin to drool at the mere mention of the beast.
HD: "Any weaknesses? Any traits that can be exploited?"
KW: "That you think to ask shows promise. Xauiel do not possess many weak points. In fact, there are only two. The eyes, of which it has six, but very small. And the underbelly, which is soft, but well guarded."
HD: "And what does it look like?"
KW: "... it looks like your nightmare beasts, only much bigger."
HD: "My what now?"
AC: "I think he means the Aflarrians, Human Dave."
The War-kin shudders at the thought.
KW: "Your nightmare beasts killed two of my Guard-kin before we managed to trap them on your ship. We did not manage to kill them. They are formidable beasts, and worthy adversaries. That you tamed them shows your prowess and skill. To take an enemy and make it an ally shows skills and forethought that we Keltiss have not considered before."
A small rustling sound was heard before a small avian type creature landed on Human Dave's shoulder.
The surrounding Keltiss flinch back, and look upon the creature with much fear.
Human Dave turns his head to observe the creature.
Eyes too large for its head, a curved beak, its wings tipped with sharp barbs, talons far too large for its small body, and its plumage is blue on its belly, but multicoloured on its back.
KW: "Do not move, Human. The Viscer-Tel sits upon your body."
Captain observes something that he did not expect on the faces of the Keltiss.
Fear.
Apex Fear.
Captain moves his gaze back to the avian creature, and does not see what could cause such a reaction in the Keltiss.
KW: "The Viscer-Tel is a truly dangerous creature, Human. If you do not move, it will hopefully leave soon."
HD: "What will it do if I move?"
One of the Worker-kin steps back further.
The Viscer-Tel fixes its gaze onto the movement of the Worker-kin.
KW: "DO NOT MOVE! DO YOU WISH TO LOSE YOUR EYES?!"
HD, with forced calm: "Oh, is that all?"
KW: "DO NOT MOVE, HUMAN!"
AC: "I do not see what the problem is. It does not seem as though it will harm anyone."
KW: "That is because you have not seen it claw out the eyes of a War-kin who thought it was not dangerous!"
AC: "What do they eat?"
KW: "Everything! Viscer-Tel eat anything that they can get!"
Captain looks around for a moment, and spots an oddly-coloured growth on one of the trees that they have been walking past.
Captain quickly puts on a universal appendage wrapping, and removes the growth from the plant.
The sound of the growth snapping off the plant alerts the Viscer-Tel, and it turns its head to regard Captain.
Captain slowly waves the growth in front of the Viscer-Tel, and once the growth has its attention, Captain throws it away from the group.
The Viscer-Tel immediately chases after it.
AC: "Now, let us move while its attention is elsewhere."
The group moves without any further prompting.
...
HD: "I'm impressed, Captain. That was some quick thinking on your part."
AC: "It was something that I saw on one of our movie nights, Human Dave. The throwing of bait to distract an opponent."
HD: "Regardless, thank you."
KW: "I am in awe of your methods, Cradelian. You had my respect for the loyalty of your crew member, but now you have my admiration."
AC: "I... thank you, War-kin."
KW: "Once this Hunt is over, I will petition the Keltiss to include your people in our Pact of Warriors. We will fight alongside you against your enemies!"
The Keltiss make to roar again, but remember where they are, and merely lowly growl out their approval.
KW: "Come. The lair of the beast is not far."

2023.06.03 23:38 MDH2611 Aggressive puppy help

We have an 11 week year old staffy puppy.
She likes people and isn't scared of any noises when we take her outside in a sling to socialise before she has her second vaccination and can go for walks.
She has taken to sit, stay, break and down really well.
However, maybe once a day she will attack my female partner. And not just puppy bite. She will charge and bite hard and when removed from that bite will clamp down again else where over and over again until my partner is covered in cuts and scratches and maybe bleeding.
In the 20+ days we have had her she has maybe done this twice with me. With me being able to get her under control to stop anything more than a single bite.
Today she was attacking my partner for maybe 5 minutes with me having to rush to the garden to help. My partner went inside in floods of tears and I took over. She then tried to attack me more than she ever has before. Clearly still aggressive from the attack on my partner. I fended her off from biting me and eventually managed to get a slip lead on her and slowly got her calmer. Comforting her and eventually playing maybe 10 minutes laters to make sure there wasn't any fear or continued aggression.
We are desperately looking for any advice or similar stories people have.
We have noticed over excitement and frustration if she needs to poop. She can charge around and gets bity around this time. Or when overtired. But when she attacks is completely different to overexcited puppy biting. It is targeted charging at my partner sinking her teeth in and doing so over and over again.
