Welp

Not in the sense people usually use the phrase “action points”.

In D&D, on your turn, you get one action. That might be hitting someone with a sword, casting a spell, or whatever. You can also move, but that’s not typically an “action”. Some classes also get what are confusingly called “bonus actions”, which are extra things you can do on your turn. Rogues, for example, can try to hide as a bonus action even after they did a normal action like shoot someone. A regular fighter who shot someone with a bow wouldn’t be allowed to try to hide on the same turn, but the rogue could.

Because you only get one action (and bonus actions), no one calls them action points. You might say “you already took your action” or something.

Compare with a game like the original Fallout. You get a number of action points based on your stats. For an average character, it’s 7. Shooting someone typically takes 2, a called shot takes 3. I think movement also takes action points. So on your turn you might shoot someone 3 times (six action points) and move a little (1 action point). Or take a called shot (3 AP) and move a lot (4 AP). Lots of options. Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 also use action points in a similar way.

This is way more explanation than you probably needed. The key thing is on D&D you typically do one thing on your turn (eg: attack, cast a spell). Pretty much every action has the same “cost” in this sense. You can’t really mix and match, and there’s not as much tactical depth on your turn. (Pathfinder 2e gives you three actions per turn, but I don’t think anyone calls them points there, either.)

Top take.

i forgot all about that show. never watched it. but i remember it existing.

Yeah this is a point I’d long forgotten. Ziggy …etc

Congrats, you fell for a Republican trap.

It’s not that easy though. We are at the conclusion of a decades long campaign to poison not just our government and politics, but our society as well. Take out every fascist tonight, and we still have to contend with the fact that, as a people, we are no longer capable of operating a democracy. Healing the divides and fixing generations of indoctrination takes time we don’t have.

I’m not saying there is no hope, but we have to sober about the tasks ahead of us if this country is ever going to heal.

Well we’re not allowed to vote in US elections, so the Harris situation doesn’t really reflect on our abilities.

Hey, a lot of “respectable” people are fascists - and pedophiles.

If you think europe is better you really haven’t been paying attention. This is a worldwide concerted effort.

maybe more like when they took away social media in nepal and they burned that fucker down

Oh Trump is definitely weak, but the progression of fascism under him is not. These two things can be true at the same time, especially because the issues he flip flops on (mostly tarrifs) aren’t actually necessary for the fascist takeover.

They would be further along if they weren’t handcuffed to a senile narcissist with one foot in the grave.

I’d say the opposite: Trump’s aggressiveness and recklessness has actually been a boon to MAGA (and a bane to everyone else). A more careful fascist might’ve actually had to win the midterms.

OTOH they have only gotten this far riding his cult of personality, once he kicks it I have a feeling the whole party will collapse into infighting and not get anything done.

I see this view a lot, but to be frank I think it’s naive. I mean, up in Canada fascists have rallied around Pierre fucking Poillievre (here’s hoping I spelled that right); these guys will take anyone as long as they can do their fascism. Fascism isn’t an artificial construct; it’s a political phenomenon that arises under certain conditions and no one person is necessary for its success once those conditions are met. That is to say: After Trump dies they’ll just find someone else, probably after a brutal and bitter internal power struggle.

They have literally taken charlie kirks death and used it as a means to attack left leaning people from all walks of life.

• This is a full blown government takeover of the American media
• They’re forcing left leaning people out of their jobs in almost every industry.

And what makes this even worse is that it is so blatantly obvious that the info surrounding kirks shooter is almost a complete invention of the trump administration. The ridiculous bullets. The note that magically disappeared. The text messages that sound as if they were written by a 55 year old…

This country is so good and truly fucked. It just so depressing and sad. And even more depressing because it seems like no one is really even trying to fight back.

ABC execs only care about money, same thing with every other corporation bending the knee

Well, you did it. Your comment just made me laugh/spit fish allllll over my dog. He thanks you.

Out of all the possible ways out of this, 99% of them started with Republicans not having full control of the government. Buying time would have allowed more Boomers to die and more Millennials to pull their heads out of their asses and start voting, getting elected and involved in party politics.

Right. I briefly didn’t feel the stick for a month in 2015 but other than that the last time was last millennium.
