Grrl Power #1241 - The Mighty Scoville
🕑 Added 2024-03-18 10:00:07 +0000 UTCThank you for the support! You guys are awesome!
I think about 90% of you predicted this. I like to keep you guys guessing, but sometimes it would truly make no sense if the characters don't at least try the obvious path.
The name of the dish is "The Mighty Scoville" in case you were wondering.

I played another Pathfinder session, and in the interest of science and convincing myself that I don't have evil dice karma, here are my (D20) rolls for the game:
3, 2, 1, 4, 1, 5, 14, 5, 8, 3, 1, 6, 5, 11, 20, 14, 1, 3, 16, 16, 15, 8, 9, 20, 9, 8, 1, 14, 19.
The bold numbers are attack rolls, the other ones are mostly perception rolls, initiative, and misc stuff like will or fort saves.
That means my average attack roll was 10.5, which is not exceptional at all. The non-combat average was 6.9. The total average over all 29 rolls was 8.1. It's not statistically that far out there, but really, those first 6 rolls had the rest of the table trying to get me to switch dice and/or switch dice rolling tray.
I was using this one cause I like that the outer wall holds about 5 sets of dice. If I don't limit how many dice I bring I, well, I bring too many dice. I mean I still bring a few "giant" (55mm) D20s, but I just like setting them up around my area so I can fidget roll them around in my hand. I would love to have a 55mm solid tungsten or osmium D20 (osmium is apparently toxic until it oxidizes, but you can put sealant on it) because they would both weigh a surprising amount. Unfortunately I think the tungsten one would probably cost around $4,000, the osmium one would cost... let's see, total volume of a 55mm icosahedron... weight of that much osmium... convert grams to troy ounces... Roughly $30,000? Yeah, probably not worth it just so someone can pick it up and go "Whoa, that's surprisingly heavy!"

I feel "Why is there wind?" ranks right up there with "I always expect Ninja's"

This reminds me of a short story I read not long ago. An alien empire once used Earth for chemical weapons research long before Humans evolved. They had to abandon the planet when their most lethal weapon escaped the lab and made the place unlivable. Millenia later, they're in a war they are losing and in desperation send an expedition to Earth to recover a sample of the weapon. On arrival, they are horrified to discover that a species has evolved that is not only immune to the deadliest chemical in the universe, but enjoy eating it. Of course, that chemical is capsaicin.
