turn it on and off
And then forget about it, and just leave it off.
... Do DND rules allow for an otherwise inanimate object to... itself, cast fireball?
Yes, use the trap rules
... and that's why I'm not a DND DM.
Though this does lead me to a follow question:
... Can an entire house, be a trap?
A kind of... traphouse, if you would?
Only if it's always playing trap music.
But I stg if you complain about your second monitor again I'm taking your thunderbolt dock away.
In Germany, we have Prüfung ortsveränderlicher elektrischer Betriebsmittel against that.
So you have a device that will cast fireballs for you and you don't sell it?
It even did 2x at the same time!
Just get it identified to know the % chance to cast fireball and you can sell it at the enchanted weapon shop.
Even if not, Gheed will probably take it off of you.
~~So, when the entire landfill goes up in flames due to improper battery disposal we'll know who to blame.~~
Misread, thought they meant the whole laptop.
Are there batteries in laptop charger cords? That doesn’t sound right..
For some reason I interpreted that as throwing away the whole laptop. Mea culpa.
Yea, so did I.
do capacitors count?
When the batteries drain off they no go bang. Still, pollution.
Terrified him but he's coming back for more huh?
Many years ago one of the computers in our area literally burst into flames from the PSU
Reported it to IT who came and visually looked at it and said yeah it looks fine to us, computer turns on, bye
