I let my players make checks: "what would my character know in this situation?" History roll. Me as DM: "your character would have gone to kindergarten and learned the number 2"

I wish it was e, so it could be true.

M is 1000 in Latin, or 8 if you convert from binary, which is 3+3+2, and as we all know 3 ~ π, so M is ~ 2+2π = 2(1+π), and we all know that π goes to 0, for small values of π, leaving us with M = 2. So, Fry was right.

It would be d...

O n e a n D T h r e e 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 1

Or not including one and three

It's between one and three, not Including one or three

"And"

Or "N"

The natural number e is approximately 2.71828, thus would be between 1 and 3.

Had a puzzle thrown at me by my DM this weekend.

I have scales but no wings, I guard treasure, precious things. Though I breathe no flame or fire, My riddles stir minds to inquire. What am I?

!a book!<

He admitted it was written by ai. I did not guess correctly.

What kind of scaley books does your DM have?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't have either. At least partially because I have no idea what scales have to do with books.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Right? Throw in a "I have spine, but no arms or legs. Sometimes, I have dog ears."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

@zaph @Stamets It should be "a bank." People make bank inquiries. Traditionally they have scales to measure precious materials. They of course guard treasure and precious things.

Books have.... Scales? What?

AI sucks at creativity

The ghost of a scholarly dragon. No flame because dead but still being inscrutable with people

@zaph @Stamets ai just doesn't do those relations that well. It knows how riddles are supposed to look like, but I doubt it can do the mental leap between questions and answers

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

AI doesn't have a mind to do mental leaps, it only knows syntax. Just a form of syntax so, so advanced that it sometimes accidentally gets things factually correct. Sometimes.

I was guest-DMing. After 1 person hilariously failed a challenge that another player came up with a completely different solution, they were presented with a thick stone door. On the door was 5 markers. On each marker was a different symbol...a flame, a bolt of lightning, a snowflake, skull and another I cant recall maybe a star.

The person who hilariously failed the first challenge kept trying to push the markers with their bare hands, and each time I said "nothing happened", so she tried a different one, tried pushing it harder, tried pushing 2 at a time, tried hitting it with her weapon, which I asked if it was magical and she said so, then kept trying the same thing over and over again. She kept talking over everyone and I even think she said "this puzzle is stupid". I was seconds from scream "look at the symbols" when someone took a swing at it with their radiant sword that things started clicking into place in their heads. The dumb one then tried using a level 2 fire spell and I think let out an audible groan.

In advance I made sure all players had cantrips of these particular damage types while building this puzzle and she wants to use a level 2 spell. For reference she's an OP druid (because she cheats on all her rolls), has a higher AC than our barbarian and more HP than our paladin, yet considers herself "squishy" and stays in the back peaking out behind cover to shoot with a crossbow, and takes it as a personal attack that everyone hates her if any enemy does damage to her.
