Basically as above. I have a couple worlds on alt Earths where Id love to have a map. And making small tweaks to existing would work best..
thanks.
This game clearly is NOT about optimization.
understanding that,
2-handed weapons seems to be taking a "hit" for flavour
Am i missing something?
Maybe I just won't ever use this spell...
MM (17) Stolen knowledge. The formula for the spell was stolen from a powerful extraplanar being. Each time the spell is cast there is a 1% chance per spell level that the being emerges to take back its occult knowledge...the hard way. Roll 1d7: (1) Grand Sultan of the Efreet; (2) the great Cthulhu; (3) a Grand Prince of Hell; (4) an elephant-faced godling of the Outer Dark; (5) the spirit of a long dead archmage; (6) a mechanized brain from the distant future; (7) an elemental prince.
35. Joe Average. Instead of a d20, the caster rolls 2d10 for spell checks on this spell. If his check die is another type, he rolls two “half-dice” instead (i.e., 2d7 instead of 1d14, 2d8 instead of 1d16, etc.).
does that mean no chance of critical failure or two chances?
Is there a consensus in the community?
Criticals and fumbles: A spell check result of a natural 20 is a critical success. The caster receives an additional bonus to his check equal to his caster level. Compare to the casting table for that specific spell for the result. (pg 106)
spell results are grouped -- natural 20 results....

is everything assumed to be permanent except #1?
Virtually silent.
Designed for Deer hunting. Capable against anything coming at you. Pump action and you can get molds to form your own pellets on the go. Never run out of ammo.
There are lots of competing weapons with similar capabilities.

Rivians get great reviews. Bigger than the dune-buggy. And may be even more off-road capable.
The Meyers Manx is a lightweight electric dunebuggy. Small and ideal for getting around, once a little protection added - I think perforated sheet metal would do the trick.
AND because it is electric it will always have power, since there is so much installed solar and wind. No worry about running out of gasoline or other fossil fuel.

Dust storms are becoming increasingly common sights throughout much of the US, fueled by hot and arid conditions brought about by global warming. While there are the ever-present dusters in states like Arizona, those living in regions like the Midwest and Pacific Northwest are now learning what it means to be swallowed by these great walls of sand and dirt.
These dust storms are dangerous enough on their own, leading to spikes in emergency room visits and disrupting agricultural economies. But according to writing climate scientist Bill McGuire in the BBC‘s Science Focus, dust storms are now becoming vectors for massive clouds of fungal spores, an event he calls “fungal storms.”
Far-out as that may sound, McGuire writes that fungus and bacteria traveling along with dust particles has been strongly correlated with outbreaks of bacterial meningitis across the Sahel region of Africa. In the continental US, they’re becoming increasingly tied to outbreaks of Valley Fever, a lung infection caused by the spores from the fungus Coccidioides.
One 2017 research paper published in Geophysical Research Letters noted that incidents of Valley Fever ballooned by over 800 percent from 2000 to 2011. In two geographical areas with high concentrations of the infection, dust storms where “found to better correlated with the disease than any other known controlling factor.”
A little modification to the plow and some additional protection around the outside. 6x6x10x10 wire aught to do the trick. Maybe double that for 3x3x10x10 wire. A ladder to go in and out through the roof.
Torque isn't a problem.
You are at a meeting on the 12th floor of a typical office building in a major city meeting an attorney about an inheritance when you get the news. This is the attorney for the estate. You just met him in person today. Some uncle you never met had a pretty big inheritance for you. No use now...
The city (million population plus) is the nearest city to your house of the size. You are downtown. You have your spouse with you.
Everyone's phone goes off. By the time you go to the window to look you see the carnage rampaging down the street.
What is your plan???
How Urban is your setting?
What are you conceived strategies and tactics.
Some thoughts:
Naturally, situational specifics matter. Without going too deep into the nitty gritty details, the general plan might be:
Start by opening exterior doors to lure as many out into the open as possible. Make noise to draw them out to the kill zone. If the number is larger than expected be prepared to pied-piper a very large crowd very far away to whatever kill zone/trap you have devised for very large hordes.
Safety is key. Do you know how to lure them away safely?
To my thinking, in each instance it is about luring them out of the building to a kill zone setup outside. Let nobody be in harms way at any time.
Slow and steady, with a final room-by-room clearance of stuck zombies with a team wearing full protection -- Firefighting suits/motorcycle leathers whatever is available and appropriate.
What are other thoughts on this?
The joke at my work when there is a new employee -- or really all our coworkers -- would you trust that person to guard a window or door if we saw the zombie apocalypse outside the building.
How do your coworkers stack up? How screwed are you?
21 mph is plenty fast for the post-apocalypse. Fully electric. Move anything, anywhere, anytime - especially a horde of zombies. With this there is no fear about being surrounded by a horde. Just drive right through and if "fast zombies" really are running at 20 mph then separate them out the back right over them.
The post apocalypse is the electric future with endless electrical production equipment available to scavenge and repurpose.
But, but what if you run out of charge???????? Fuel is a risk with any vehicle. So maybe pay attention.
Naturally getting it from the dealer would be helpful - you know, for spare parts. Like all things, there is no perfect anything in the apocalypse.
So the Zombie apocalypse is upon us. At least it sure looks like it. People are going mad in the streets biting people and the bit people are also going mad and running around trying to bite people.
But we've all seen dozens of variations on the theme. Many stories start with the characters trying to figure out what the zombies do and don't do... Every story has different rules.
Just something to think about --
Not the universal vehicle but if you have a base within a city that is larger than your base this is a good way to get around. Explore some buildings from an upper floor. Maybe Lead some zombies into a kill zone.
Obviously stories and zombie rule sets vary, but the double articulation would stop climbing zombies from many of the popular franchises.
There are several great Cyberpunk City builds in Cities:Skylines. CS1 has countless mods like allow for flying cars and trains, assets of all types, just amazing options.
CS2 is catching up.
Once AI and robots take all the jobs we can all look forward to "affordable" public housing.
