Thought for sure this was a Dull Men's Club post

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

Being a shitty warlock is a hard life.

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

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

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 9 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.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 46 points 20 hours ago

Is that with sales tax included?

220 x 99 = 21,780

[-] Jayve@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

5.6% sales tax?

1: This girl seems cool.

2: BATTERIES ARE $220 NOW?!?!

[-] Kvoth@lemmy.world 3 points 6 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

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 21 points 20 hours ago

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.

[-] greenhorn@lemm.ee 7 points 15 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.

They were never cheap...

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 day ago

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

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

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

That is a shitload , though hopefully not literally.

Seems worthwhile in this context, though.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours 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.

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

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

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: 🤢

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

The unstated premise being that $22,000 is discounted from $22,770 or OP just remembered the first two digits.

[-] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 75 points 1 day ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

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

She’s seems cool tho

I feel the math is wrong but maybe I just don’t know enough about car batteries

I did something similar in the early '90s, but it was a carved wooden eagle at Busch Gardens. When I hit the sub total button the P.O.S. system for the whole park crashed because it was around a million dollars. lmao
