When you try to hit on someone but your charisma is −5.

In 1st ed comeliness can be negative. Down to -30 iirc.

Indeed. In Palladium games there isn't ability damage at all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

In 3.5 wacky stuff happened (like dying or falling into a coma) when they drop to 0. I don't remember if negative scores were possible then.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

In 3.5 if you're on a Con score of 3 (-4 modifier) and take 5 points of fort damage your Con reduces to zero and you're dead. 0 means you have no ability in that attribute

According to the d20srd ability damage section

You pretty much end up either dead or helpless when an attribute goes to zero

But we have a perfect example of DM fiat here.

Being a shitty warlock is a hard life.

Is that with sales tax included?

220 x 99 = 21,780

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

5.6% sales tax?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Maybe with a deposit.

1: This girl seems cool.

2: BATTERIES ARE $220 NOW?!?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Don't ever buy batteries from an auto parts store. Find a hole in the wall hardware store or a rural king or something like that and you'll get them way cheaper

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

My work truck has 2 batteries, it was a bit over $450 total 2 months ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Im building a race car, for an extra $350 I can get a battery that weighs 2kg instead of 14kg.

Like... It does nothing else special other than weigh a shitload less.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That is a shitload , though hopefully not literally.

Seems worthwhile in this context, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, Im building a barely street legal "smiles per gallon" toy... in a 1025kg car I can save around 12kg each on the battery, spare wheel, aircond, back seat and wheels, few more on the carpet and sound deadening... few more on the flywheel. doesnt sound like much but the car will be about 6% lighter overall. Thats the low hanging fruit and the expense of losing more will be where it costs big cash or the car becomes illegal.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

They were never cheap...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

To be fair, they seem to be better than they used to. My car hit 200k not too long ago and still has its original battery. I have no problems with it but I remember having much newer batteries where it was a gamble on cold mornings if it would start. Purely anecdotal though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

My car has 130k and I keep wondering when the battery is going to die, because when I was younger they didn't last this long and I just kinda forgot about it until it occurred to me recently.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

My car hit 25k and needed a new battery

[–] [email protected] 43 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

Just paid 350 canuck bucks for an AGM battery for a regular old RAV4.

The price per battery goes up if you buy in bulk? WTF?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This is probably some US nonsense where the battery was $220 without tax, and the value at the register for the 99 batteries was with tax.

Needless to say: 🤢

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Or OP meant to say one was $230 and 99 was $22,000.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I like this train of thought, but 99 x 230 = 22,770

[–] [email protected] 72 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Wait that’s more expensive per unit than one. Ya gotta throw a dog a bone in bulk.

She’s seems cool tho
