Perhaps we could make an argument for carcinization applying to naming as well? What if anything we can’t place could end up getting named something related to crabs?
“It’s 16:59 and some seconds and I need to run in less than a minute! We’ll call it a somethingsomething crab! Now I need a beer and I’ve got a train to catch, see y’all Monday!”
Tbf, a 32 would hit almost anything. We literally had this at one of my tables the other day.
DM: does a 32 hit?
ME, THE FIGHTER: WHAT‽‽ That’s about twice what you need to hit! How high is its attack modifier‽
DM: And it wasn’t even a crit. I only rolled a 19.
To be fair though, I was bluntly tanking a bloody Roc, if that was what was gonna kill me, I’d be like “yeah, that tracks.”
Absolutely bl- cursed. Though I probably would have suggested someone make it if it wasn’t here yet.
RP: (Lay On Hands) ah, making progress!
The abstract suggests that happiness is a statistical anomaly, and in its final lines they suggest that “One possible objection to this proposal remains–that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.”
Valid. I checked again, and:
Known risks to the protocol include:
- Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: “Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.”
So I guess that’s what’s happening here
Another example of such an attack
Nerds making joke standards is nothing unique.

I had a joke about gravity, but I think it’ll let you down and it may fall flat.
I’m part of a Western Reaches campaign where I’ve got an entire party worth of characters to pick from. In here are two with the Fey Touched feat, giving them the spell Misty Step, this being a warlock and a paladin. While the former would use that to get out of hairy situations, the latter would use it to get into them.
So basically I also have an option for a sudden, in-your-face paladin.
That’s gotta be uncomfy as hecc. Any Squirrel Person worth their salt would probably have some furgonomics applied to their clothes to let that tail swing free.
Isn’t that basically how 40k Orcs do it?
Me, a tabaxi player, and the artificer from that group, whom we know OOC to be a changeling:
that partial nudity is often sexier than total nudity
Clearly ol’ Rudolph is so weighed down by it that the posts about it are showing up in March.
I ran the numbers once between my cleric and a paladin I have as an alt. The paladin, without smites could, on average, get the cleric down in about 8 turns. The cleric could down the paladin in 6.
My main cleric started as “a tabaxi cleric who does his healing by running his head past the injury while purring.” However:
FoxNews? Gotta check that one out.
Looks like the joke flew over your head…
But to indulge your more serious angle, yeah, it’s well thought through. And if your source is the one I think it is, that one also packages in that “NATO Phonetic Alphabet” is a bit of a misnomer.
It’s not a phonetic alphabet, since it doesn’t type out what sounds one must make to pronounce words correctly. And the main devs weren’t NATO, but ICAO. NATO was just gonna adopt it and issue some feedback for improvements.
