  • My guess is because a linter and/or HLS was suggesting it. I know HLS used to suggest making your fields strict in almost all cases. In this case I have a hunch that it slightly cuts down on memory usage because we use almost all Muls either way. So it does not need to keep the string it is parsed from in memory as part of the thunk.

    But it probably makes a small/negligible difference here.

















  • Hey. I realize this post is 5 months olf so probably not relevant anymore… But I wanna say that the setting sounds really cool for the campaign. I would like to find out more about the story of the setting, so if you’d still want to run at least one session then I’d like to join in for at least a session if that’s fine. If you do still look for a player do know that I am relatively new to D&D and TTRPGs in general, only played a few one-shots.

    Also, this whole post was a great read, even if not an uplifting one. Unfortunately, I cannot contribute at all about who I think was in the right and who wasn’t, I don’t like making a judgement when hearing a story from one person’s perspective. Sorry about that.



  • I have largely the same opinion as the accepted answer on this RPG Stackexchange post.

    That is, while the enemy is paying attention to you, you are not stealthed, you would not be able to sneakily snatch a pouch or unused weapons. But you can try to cut the straps holding them.

    Personally, I would probably rule it like this:

    If you actually try to go close in and grab a pouch and hold it in your hands, then after the Sleight of Hand check they get an opportunity attack on you, because you are focused on trying to snatch an object. They notice that opening to strike. And it would use their reaction. But again, this is my personal opinion.
