So I've always wanted death to be a bit more dynamic. I was trying to think if there was some way to use exhaustion once you're at zero hit points instead of just going unconscious.

My thought is

>Call it something else and have exhaustion be the universal -1 to everything you do (all d20 tests, AC and saving throw DC's). so instead what is currently called exhaustion would be called Trauma levels.

>As soon as you receive damage that takes you lower than zero hit points you gain 1 level of Trauma. When you receive damage you take an additional level of Trauma, or two levels if it was a crit or you failed your saving throw paired with the damage. If you take exactly the right amount of damage it's possible to be at zero hit points with no trauma.

>Whenever you use an action, movement, bonus action or reaction You make a save throw DC 10 + your current levels of trauma after the action is complete.

>At the sixth level of trauma you go unconscious like normal and start making death saves.

>Whenever you receive healing, five points of the healing goes towards removing a level of Trauma before any hit points are applied. If you have 2 levels of trauma and received 9 healing you get rid of one of those levels. Again it's possible to be healed of all trauma and still be at 0 hit points.

I just want a tough battle to be more dynamic. I know I probably have to create counters so that my players could keep track easier. Not a big deal

I also hope that it would encourage healing to happen when people are still positive on hit points.

I also had the idea to make the number of levels of exhaustion you gain from damage be something like "the damage taken divided by the highest hit die you still have + your constitution rounded down minimum one. and things like tough that gave you extra in points per level would also add to that threshold. kind of similar to Dagger heart I guess. What kind of be like merging the two systems.

But it felt a little complicated. and wouldn't scale well with level.

maybe damage dealt/hit die size+con+level+other modifiers like tough. lol

like a blue Jay

>Another popinjay who thinks he's got something to say

​

Through context you can guess that popinjay means an overconfident cocky man. but realizing the term originated as the word for Parrot adds another lense to view it "someone who repeats things he's heard, but doesn't understand" which fits with the inferred definition but reveals how the word came to mean that.

I dipped it in the ranch they gave me so at first I thought they gave me blue cheese instead of ranch but I checked it and it's definitely ranch

The wings completely on their own just taste like blue cheese. I'm wondering if somehow my bowl got contaminated with blue cheese? or is that how their mango habanero tastes?

I also found it to be not spicy at all. which is crazy cuz it's got three flames and I also got the hot AF sauce which was just too hot to enjoy it all. I even asked for light sauce and they still globbed it on. what's worse is it's too spicy and doesn't have any flavor to redeem it.

overall not very impressed. but the blue cheese flavor on the mango habanero just has my head spinning. very odd

there was another one of those posts complaining that John doesn't play songs by other guitarists other than occasionally Hillel.

and one person in the comments said they would rather listen to most of one hot minute over black summer as if that was even the choice.

They were touring unlimited love on the last tour. they're going to play the singles in a couple of the songs they like off the new album because there's still musicians making new music and expressing their current selves.

The choice was never going to be a son from one hot minute over black summer

It would be a song from one hot minute instead of other side or californication or parallel universe or wet sand or don't forget me.

I mean sure I'd rather get an airplane than a universally speaking but for the most part, most hardcore fans agree that the John albums are better for the most part. overall it's a good trade-off.

most of the people I know who say that one hot minute is their favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers album are not Red Hot Chili Peppers fans and tend to be more like metal heads or people that like industrial music or a number of other genres that the Chili Peppers are not usually associated with.

so I have a variety of trees both on my lot and a land bank lot that I rent.

This year I have peach leaf curl and I really haven't looked into how to manage these trees I've sort of just been growing them.

My Asian pears are mostly not getting hit by anything serious but they are prone to turning black and just rotting off the tree during harvest time. I know part of that is that I need to thin properly this year.

My apples get those I think they call them Apple flea maggots or something a little brown streaks through the white flesh and they get lumpy.

so I need a guide I need a really basic low effort amount of things I can do every year spray a few things I have a proper backpack sprayer so I can do it really well, But I just need a system to follow.

can you recommend a guide for me please.

I have a pretty big selection of trees. I just planted a plum. I have tart cherries and I just planted a couple sweet cherries (mostly had an issue with the Japanese beetles eating them. easily managed by monitoring and hand picking) I have a couple Papa's several apples a couple peaches the Asian pears and then a Bartlett pair and I just planted another pair I think with an anjou.

I appreciate the help
