Pead posted:NPR had an interview with someone from new bern and the interviewer kept asking "don't you think you should leave since people will have to risk their lives to save you?" and their response was basically, lol nah, that's their job, i'm not to worried about it. tjey've got a bit of a point there, 1st responders constantly want their dicks sucked, maybe they should earn it

Gibbering posted:That was my point. You build next to the flood plain, or as near to the river as you can get without becoming a cautionary tale. Mostly I’m thinking of neighborhoods that pop up on pieces of land that’ve been empty since Tag was a pup and then go “but why does my house flood every year!” because rivers look cool

Nebakenezzer posted:What level is wall of protection, 5? We're talking priest magic here so Protection from Evil, 10' radius, would be a level 4 spell, under 2nd edition best edition rules, but flood waters aren't "evil," they're elemental, so that wouldn't help. Under 5th Edition rules, "Control Water" is also 4th level, so that's probably the answer.

I don't see how enemies can bash their way through it in just 3 rounds if they do blunt dmg twoday posted:About the same as kicking through a wall, I would imagine, but then harder because of the angle Several years ago I read an article about a hurricane survivor on the gulf coast, he said keeping an axe in the attic was a chestnut from people who lived along the gulf for a least a century

I don't see how enemies can bash their way through it in just 3 rounds if they do blunt dmg Yeah I don't think Wall of Force would work for exactly that reason. Plus that's a wizard spell, not priestly magic.
