Which skill would be used for biting and scratching?

Asking for a friend. I know there are several "attack with body" skills, but I don't know which to recommend, and I'm helping him make a character.

Is there any way to get to this stuff?

This is a Djinni Hedge Wizard of Jivya, and I do have a wand of digging, but it can't dig through these walls. I've explored the whole floor. What do I do?

Dragonspray

Is the summoned dragon hostile, or an ally? I've never seen this before, and I couldn't find it on chaos forge. Is this item bettor, or worse, than a +2 hat.

For context I'm exploring vaults 5. xl22 minotaur gladiator edit: nemex xobeh

Is This a Decent Character (Dungeon Crawler Carl Game)

Hi there! So I'm very new to gurps, but I read up on it a lot (I like learning new systems) and I think this should be a viable character for this upcoming game. It's dungeon crawler carl, and the DM wanted to use gurps, despite the DCC game coming out soon, but basically the premise is I start with no magic. Do these mechanics work?

I've essentially built myself (with stuff I'd like to do but can't of course), which is why I took some of the disadvantages/advantages. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if this build won't really work well. I really don't know.

How does sm-1 and sm-2 work?

I'm having trouble finding a clear answer. Is there a page describing this in gurps basic?

I've heard size effects chance to hit, strength, and range. How exactly? Is there a table?

Just found a signed Niven book!

I'm a Niven fan and I'm glad I found this. I don't intend to sell it, but I am curious if it's really his signature and what it's worth.

I found this at Kaboom books. What a gem. They're a great used bookstore, that I'd absolutely recommend if you live nearby. Anyway, thanks for your help.

How Would You Adress This Build Philosophy Flaw?

Hi there! I'm pretty new to DCSS (maybe a couple of months) and I've noticed a theme in my strongest builds. While yes, many of them are just fighters with high ac and high sh, many of my strongest builds are made around stacking offense. I've done pretty well with characters like enchanters, and forgewrites, and alchemists, because I can lay down an additional offensive effect each turn, making my potential offense extremely high (I can meet the situation with the right number of bonuses in other words). Here are a few morgues to illustrate.

https://pdflink.to/dd90ebfd/
https://pdflink.to/ce671495/

Sorry, I would share more, but the service I'm using is limited. Is there an easier way to share these? This was a big hassle.

Anyways, these builds always really break down when I hit my limit for mp, because while I could drink a potion of magic, the buffs/summons are my defenses, meaning I'll likely go down if I spend the time to get everything running again.

So I wanted to know if you have any suggestions. This is probably a common problem right? Honestly, I should get better in general at using consumables, but what if a scroll of blink will be ineffective, and teleport takes to long? Idk, these might have an obvious solution that I haven't thought of yet, but generally I'm just looking for a strategy suggestion of what I should do, especially if I'm facing mana draining opponents. What should be the steps I go through in other words?

Also, once again, I don't understand the meaning of some of these flairs. If you could clarify that'd be great. For now I'll put this as a discussion.

An Insane Seed If You Want It

Do you get a ton of loot. Not especially. Do you get a legendary weapon early on? No. You get one thing. Two potions of experience on D1. Probably the most insane seed I've ever found. Shame I figured this out when trying to find a heal potion. I died almost immediately. Playing the seed now.

Where Am I Supposed to Go Next?

Sorry, I don't know what some of the flairs mean so this may be tagged wrong.

I've just finished the 15th level of the dungeon, and completed the lair. I have the resistances that you can see. I also have rings that protect me from corrosion, fire, and boost my willpower. I'm trying to figure out which branch will be best for me, after this.

This is a three rune run, and I've never made it past the swamps. I'm trying to play it safe. Also, my base ev is 14 if it matters. Your help would be much appreciated. Feel free to ask me questions.

A Funny Thought I Had About Elantris

So, I was thinking, the worldbuilding of Sel is funny. I say that because it's the first book that Sanderson got published, and in it he had a world we only saw a single frame of. That's not remarkable for a first book, but we never saw any more.

Which I find really funny, because we've received the entire cosmere. I mean, sure, he wrote that short story, but the world of Sel is still largely unexplored. I just find it ironic. I'm sure this won't be an issue that we have for long.

I know his other stuff is better, but I do think it'd be great to see more of it. Don't you?

I just got fireball on my red draconian fire elementalist of vehemut, and I'm very happy

I can't believe things are working out so well for what I envisioned. I've been double training fire spells since level one and now, well you know.

Ps, i don't understand some of the flares in this community. So sorry, if this is the wrong one

 Do you feel the n-evitable pull of fate 

That pulls every man to a single point 

Speeding toward it at a breakneck rate 

Until we jam, squeezed together tight 

 

You see, we all are given a single set 

Of tools, and their singular design 

And we are told the better at them we get 

The better human air we feign 

 

And in the end, we’re all the same 

We each wish to run away from it 

We each wish to have a unique name 

And to escape this ever-travelled pit 

But then we’d leave our safety down inside 

And by that, we must admit, are horrified
