Details of a diffraction cloak from AoN: a diffraction cloak bends light around it, causing the garment to subtly shimmer and hinting at its ability to warp nearby energy. While you wear this cloak, it protects you from cold, electricity, fire, and force damage. If an attack dealing such damage targets your EAC and hits, as a reaction you can force the attacker to be reroll the d20 and use the lower result. If you fail a saving throw against an effect that deals such damage, as a reaction you can reroll the saving throw and use the higher result. If you use a given diffraction cloak, you can’t benefit from a different one for 24 hours.

The cloak allows a number of rerolls per day based on its type.

Got some fun gear planned. Some very minor tweaks to the verbiage, and it's gonna have to be a drop from a powerful foe.

Trans people are under attack.
They are trying to make them going out in public illegal.
They are taking away their licenses.

If you cannot see that the moment you unpeople one demographic, you create a gray area for every other demographic, you're beyond hope.

Trans rights are human rights.

I've been really busy. So when @geekjames513.bsky.social asked about collaborating on some Starfinder articles, I leapt at the opportunity to read some good work and get a little writing vacation myself. Talking about how to port PF2 bards into your SF2 game:

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Lately I've been seeing it in a ttrpg server where the second any art is posted people act like they're Sherlock Holmes trying to spot the slop.

I fully agree AI needs to be called out, but damn guys. What they are calling a "sure sign" could just be someone is still learning how to do feet.

TW food. A cabbage roll cut open revealing the seasoned meat and rice. The cooked rice ever so slightly resembles small insect larvae.

TW food. A cabbage roll cut open revealing the seasoned meat and rice. The cooked rice ever so slightly resembles small insect larvae.

Had dinner made for us tonight by my fiancΓ©'s mother, and I'll be god-damned if the rice in these cabbage rolls didn't look like maggots.

And somehow nobody has EVER made the connection.

Food was delicious, but come on. Look at it.

Today during my #pathfinder2e campaign, I heard this from my players.

"Listen, don't worry about the letter. I will write up the letter and make it fancy. You work on rigging up the grandma to explode."

It's a day off. Everyone is taking it easy. No one expects any company announcements or anything. It would be wrong for me to spoil something else about Galactic Ancestries...

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Despite AbadarCorps' overwhelming marketing machine fully capitalizing upon the holiday, the advent of Valentine's Day in the Pact Worlds can actually be traced to a minor oft-forgotten incident during the Magefire Assault in 7 AG.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

IMPD reviewing after video shows officer threatening Black teen driver Officers pulled the car over because a passenger had a gun, IMPD says.

Black kids got the shit beat out of them for protesting in the streets 6 years ago bc cops can't stop killing Black people & not nearly enough adults went in the streets about it, so now cops are just continuing to brutalize Black people, especially Black kids at or driving home from ICE protests
