Halfling racial ability specifically calls out their ability to Hide behind allies. Once Hidden you can’t be targeted with ranged attacks. At lower levels that seems very powerful. Over time it would probably have been fine, but once my character was an Elf there was no going back. I already had INT as my second highest score since I was an Arcane Trickster, and I did a 2 level dip into Bladesinger to get some additional spell slots and Blade dance for INT to AC, Shield spell, Find Familiar, and a few more fun spells.

Elven Accuracy meant Flanking (or any Advantage) was a 14.26% chance to crit, up from 9.75% My DM realized that I was going to blow up his enemies and started adding at least one additional beefy enemy to each fight. This was fine with everyone involved as we wanted a challenge to overcome, without nerfs to base class features.

I skip it by showing up 20 minutes later than my show time. I still catch 1-3 trailers. I haven’t missed any actual movie yet.

In one campaign my DM said that the risk versus reward balance was off when using attack from hidden, move, hide each round on my Halfling Arcane Trickster. I countered that scenario was the reason I picked Halfling, and otherwise I would have been an Elf. He let me give up a cool elven made ranged weapon in an arcane ritual to permanently race change to Elf. I then proceeded to use Flanking to attack with super-advantage from Elven Accuracy, using Booming Blade. I followed up with Cunning Action Disengage if the target wasn’t dead. It had the appearance of risk because it was a melee attack, but it was almost as safe as when I was hiding.

Woodcutter of Theseus?

I remember that the Wicked Witch of the East (the one killed by Dorthy’s house) had enchanted the axe of a man who was a woodcutter named Nick Chopper. The axe would randomly dismember his own body when used. Some guy he knew would replace his body part when that happened, eventually replacing everything, which is how he became the tinman.

But nobody ever said “Hey buddy, how about maybe buying a new axe since this one keeps chopping off things?”

My best pilliated pic in about 3 years of trying… and it’s in my front yard.

With Cybill Shepard and Bruce Willis? That’s a throwback!

I’m going with initials rather than a word.

Yeah, I know. Big fan of Atlanta. Still funny.

He’s getting to old for this.

I don’t know that it would matter much as long as there is sexual selection rather than natural selection. For instance, if a random cross section of a population dies, then there’s no evolution because there’s no reason that the survivors lived to pass on genetics. Is that not correct?

Ah yes, I see that now. I missed your tone on the first pass.

I believe that by design the House vote is what fixes it. Having one body in the legislature that is population based and the other just based on statehood makes both things matter.

Did you mean 1920’s? Because it is currently the 2020’s. Still not sure if the roaring is going to happen this century to differentiate.

I would give my best Matt Damon in Interstellar “… that’s the best chance I have had in years.” And then smash my face jnto the button as hard as I could.

I think he could do it.
