When it comes to divorce and alimony, if no kids are involved, how does it even work?

Individual income plays a role.

A good example of an uncommon situation is a friend of mine's parents got divorced a few years ago, his mom was the breadwinner. She has to pay alimony to her ex-husband because he makes significantly less and I think he was able to keep their house.

Yes. Courts will almost always award alimony / child support to men if the women make the majority of the income or lose full custody but that scenario rarely happens in the first place because

1) women seek out men who are more financially successful than they are
And
2) men usually do not even ask for custody. If they do, they win about 50% of the time.

That team just flat out ganged up on a ref and yelled at him for 3 minutes straigh

did that really happen? the entire team should be kicked out of the cup for that

Yup.

The other team literally had to wait for them to stop screaming and stomping before they could continue

There's already a precedent for kicking out an entire team. If you get, I think 4 red cards in a single match your team is considered to have forfeit.

If the whole team yelled at the ref and he just started handing out red cards that would end the game immediately.

Edit: it's not the red cards by itself that do it but you're just not allowed to play ball with under a certain amount of players so the same thing can happen if you get so many people injured that even after substitutions you can only field 7 guys then you forfeit.

The number won't go much lower barring a dramatic uturn in a major policy like he suddenly wants to ban guns.

We already have reached the point where self proclaimed "Moderate Conservatives" are openly saying "Well Hitler never actually said anything Anti Jewish and didn't hate them"

It's scary

Forget "moderate conservatives"

Literally Netanyahu's official political stance on Hitler is "He wasn't actually going to try to kill all the Jews. The Muslims talked him into it."

As it stands now you can have the pill or a condom fail, and be forced to support a child because the woman wants it, or if you want it and she doesn't, she can kill your child.

There is not ONE form of contraceptive that 100%.

So, again, when you want to get your dick wet, just know there is always a chance that you can somehow get a healthy woman pregnant.

And you're responsible for it as well.

So why should a woman be able to enslave a male for 18 years, while he gets no say at all over his own fate? Meanwhile the woman gets to rip his child to shreds if she gets pissed at him.

Uhhhhhhh...

Do you know what abortions involve? In one method, the fetus is basically vacuumed out and ripped to pieces by the force.

Just so you're aware this is only done to non viable fetuses (congenital defect or other problem) that have a formed head.

It's not something you just do.

I'm basing it on mid-level life domain clerics, not high level--have to make that clear.

The biggest strength of that power though isn't even the healing Spike, it's that it's a group heal which is very rare but you can't Spike a group.

Darkman124 posted...

Honestly--I feel that only a few games really work that way, mostly MMOs.

I was predominantly referring to the stronger enemies like Ozma from FF9. The mainstay of JRPGs can be completed with nothing but healing items / inns.

Darkman124 posted...

Long rests are only once per 24 hours, so anything long-rest based will be.

Lay on Hands' HP pool is long-rest based, so Paladins' version is really only able to spike once.

That's fine for Paladins, though. They're not really healers.

once per rest implies once per adventuring day. it's not. short-rest based abilities are dramatically more flexible than long rest based abilities.

What abilities are restricted to "adventuring day?"

Even 4e that had "Daily" powers were actually just long-rest recharge.

Darkman124 posted...

read all my posts before accusing me of not mentioning where things come from, ok? my very first post specified life clerics. further discussion was explicitly focused on life clerics.

It obviously wasn't if we've gone this far off track.

Darkman124 posted...

i mentioned you'd start having this availability at mid-level, and you do: two at six.

the fact i stated was: life clerics can provide sudden, large amounts of healing, more than once per combat, at mid-levels.

that fact is true.

And the fact that you cannot out-sustain damage the way you do in JRPGs is also true which is what my original point was. You cannot heal your way to victory at any level in D&D. The big healing dumps are provided to recover after a strong attack while video games will frequently hit you with big attacks and expect you to constantly heal.

The bulk of your survival depends on you being able to prevent damage.

Darkman124 posted...

this is a very funny thing to say after admitting you haven't read all my posts in the thread.

I am reading them. I was just mostly stating that your 3/rest heals isn't something you get until the ass end of your game and you definitely didn't say that.

I just feel you're presenting a misleading expectation of how often / how much you will be healing in combat based on high level life domain clerics.

once per short or long rest. sixth is mid level, you can use it twice in one combat at sixth level. that was what i am saying--not "end-game shit" at all. and i was very specific that it was unique to life domain clerics.

don't explain 5e to me. you're correcting things i did not say.

Once per rest is literally the same thing as once per short or long rest. There's no 30 second rest or some shit.

And what you said was...

channel divinity heals are short-rest recovered abilities but you get up to 3/short rest,

You said nothing about it being exclusive to life domain (in that post, if you said it in a later post I didn't read it yet) and you said up to 3 neglecting to mention that you won't get that untill at near max level.

You should try reading what you wrote.

channel divinity heals are short-rest recovered abilities but you get up to 3/short rest, so you can def do >1/combat at mid-levels.

really hard-dedicated healers actually can get their sustain above typical damage-per-round from enemies, when executing tricks like I mentioned above (AoV+DoL)

not really sure which self-heals you're talking about. probably the best 'healing' is damage prevention via things like cutting words, which almost always prevents more damage than is dealt by a typical enemy. bards are ridiculous damage preventers.

the only temp hp supports i am aware of are heroism+heavy armor master, wild shape, and polymorph, and the latter two are a different definition of temp hp than i think you mean. to which are you referring?

5e Channel Divinity is once per rest. You get 2 options but can only use one. You dont get to use it 3 times until you hit 18th (2 at 6th) level. That's like, basically end game shit that you are using shortly before the campaign ends. The majority of the game is centered around the idea that you won't have access to that. And only life domain clerics have that.

You might be confusing it with Lay on Hands which is not a Channel Divinity option at all. You have a set number of points you can heal and can heal as much as you want until it's spent.

what's interesting is 5e used hit dice in part to move away from combat healing, but it also introduced exceptionally useful forms of combat heals.

Yes healing is better in 5e than any other edition except for 4e, but you are still unable to heal your way through a fight the way you do in JRPGs.

Some clutch healing can turn a losing fight into a winning one but this isn't something you're going to be able to do more than once per combat.

A great deal of people also have a lot of ways to self-heal especially with high class level features.

The bulk of "healing support" is done via temporary HP.

Roe vs Wade was ruled to be a privacy decision and government interference constitutes a 4th amendment violation.

If that's the case, taxpayer dollars going to abortion clinics is also a violation of the Fourth Amendment, as it's 'interference.'

Last I checked money doesn't perform any surgery. It just kind of sits there and does nothing.

But I honestly don't care if taxes go to abortion providers or not.

Money doesn't fund any abortions, but the pro-lifers always argue that by paying for things like administration and other non-abortion details, that it therefore funds abortion because it freed up money that wouldn't be used for it otherwise.

I know taxes doesn't pay for abortions. I said abortion providers.

But again, I don't care if they get it or not. I think its fucked that government is subsidizing providers but we still need to have private insurance (which is also government subsidized) but that's a larger rant for another time.

Right, magic is a weakness in the sense that he isn't invulnerable. It will still work on him. However he can still use his other super powers to avoid it or counter the indirect effects. He still can probably endure more than normal people too.

It's not like kryptonite where he is helpless before it.

He isn't helpless before Kryptonite unless you have such an overwhelmingly large amount that you could drop it on him and kill him.

In most versions, Green Kryptonite is like Red Sun radiation in that it deprives him of powers, it doesn't actually hurt him.

Gary Gygax solved this problem forty-something years ago: Less-good melee fighters who can heal when needed.

D&D was balanced around not healing in combat.

First of all 40 years ago was a horrid kludge where dragons' breath would do damage equivalent to their current HP meaning almost any fight against a dragon meant someone was probably going to die. Someone had to "tank" the first breath and then damage it enough so that future breath attacks had manageable damage levels.

Secondly, healing in D&D is puss and has always been puss. You have to be standing literally right next to a character to use something like Cure Light Wounds which meant in combat healing was largely bullshit and predominantly came from potions of healing you were carrying. 4th edition dramatically boosted healing effectiveness and range but you were still limited to the number of times you could be healed and there were a lot of anti-healing gotchas / fuck yous. Also 4th edition was generally just not good.

Healing in D&D was always meant to be something you did during rests between fights and not during a fight.
