Never, because every DM I've ever played with was one of those weirdo losers who insisted you need a material reward.

I don't want a sword! I want a HOMESTEAD!

Some shitty village of mud farmers that we saved from the plague declared our party healer to be their patron saint. They were going to give us all medals too, but we didn't have the heart to accept them, as they'd have had to melt down what little precious metals they had in order to make them.

Do that a few more times and you'll be getting divine ranks.

How can you stand up from prone as fast as possible and without provoking AoO like in 3.5?

>>52571713
You can't.

>>52571732
So how can I avoid being constantly tripped then?

>>52571759
Get a better GM.

>>52568755

Wis to AC seems great for the feature you give up, but if doing a dex build it seems pretty tight for feats if you give up the bonuses. I was looking at Mithral Current as being pretty cool, especially with free katana prof, is broken blade that much better? The +2 damage on discipline strikes seems like it'd be outweighed by the smaller damage dice and much worse crit profile.

>>52571713
If your GM allows 3rd party stuff, take the Stand Up Rogue talent, then take the Ninja Kip Up talent.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/rogue/rogue-talents/paizo-rogue-talents/stand-up-ex/
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/alternate-classes/ninja/ninja-tricks/rogue-genius-games-ninja-tricks/kip-up/

These two are a must have, it may seem a bit expensive, but using up 2/5 of your resources to avoid an edge case scenario which will have an enemy perform one AoO on you is definitely something important!

My half-orc fighter for d&d 2nd ed was knighted and given a permanent position as a kings guard after stopping two cities from going at war with each other. The benefits that came along with the title was a decent amount of gold, property within the city (he ended up getting a really nice smithy and hiring an experienced armorer and weapon smith along with an apprentice which made him some gold on the side) and also a suite inside the castle keep along with the other PC's, which came with complementary breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a maid service to clean his room.

>>52571827
I'll need two levels in rogue at least, I don't have that luxury

Acrobatics off the ground like some kind of loony and hope you beat the enemy CMD.

>>52571713
One of the effects of the spell Blessing of Fervor can do that
>Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.

>>52571946
I suggest you find a way to stop being tripped so damn easily then. Try growing extra legs, using counters from Path of War, or boosting your CMD with long lasting buffs.

>>52571805
Broken Blade is strong because it gives you multiattack strikes with damage-enhancing stances and boosts. It all gets multiplied and gives you silly numbers. You can just use Weapon Group Adaptation to use Broken Blade with, say, a greatsword. Or just pick up a sansetsukon

>>52572009
Weapon Group Adaptation is a mistake

>Start making a spherecaster
>Develops into 2 completely different builds
Fuck.

>>52572060
What two builds, anon? Let's hear 'em~!

>>52572009
>>52572028

I'd feel really dirty to use weapon group adaptation, it should pretty clearly not exist.

>>52571970
Can you stand up with acrobatics? I couldn't find shit about it so I thought you couldn't without a feat (nor I found a feat for that), if you can I may go with that, my acrobatics are 24 at 8th level.

>>52571510

Wasn't Napoleon the man who invented the idea of medals?

>>52572116
Honestly the best thing they could do with the Weapon Group Adaptation problem is just put a line in Broken Blade saying that you can't use WGA with it. That would solve one of the biggest issues with Broken Blade. If you wanna use BB, use unarmed or a close weapon (Personally, I use it to shield bash)

Are Greatswords, meant to be like real life greatswords, or is it just a label that D&D/Pathfinder uses because it sounds cool?

>>52572179
That's not a 'normal' real life greatsword, that's a zweihander, which is like a mega-greatsword.

>>52572108
Well, I need to fill a vaguely supportive caster role in the party. We've got a frontliner and a ranged damage-dealer, so I need to be able to heal them up after combat, make Spellcraft checks, etc. It would help if I could party face also, as all we've got is some Diplomacy on the frontliner.

Build 1:
Time-themed Incanter/Hedgewitch fullcaster.
Pros:
>Great at knowledges
>Great face
>Versatile caster, access to many sphere effects
>Decent crowd control
>Can deal pretty good damage
>High save DCs for it's level
Cons:
>Terrible defenses
>Basically no chance to ever hit anything with attack rolls
>Low Perception
>Healing very inefficient on spell points

Build 2:
Sphere Druid battlecaster
Pros:
>Good HP and AC for a caster
>Good saves
>Respectable damage output
>Decent face
>Flank partner for frontliner
>High Perception
Cons:
>Only has Alteration and Life, maybe a dip into one more sphere
>Bad skills
>Weak knowledges
>No real ranged option aside from becoming a bird and flying up to the enemy
>No crowd control

>>52572179
I mean, I'd prefer a greatsword over an okaysword, but truth be told, I think an actual, "real-life" Greatsword as represented in the system would have the Reach property, and the "regular" greatsword would be called something like the "Claymore" because it's still two-handed but it's not HUGE as heck

>>52572303
does pathfinder even have a sword with reach

>>52572347
the Urumi is technically a sword I guess

>>52572360
i guess you could use custom weapon rules to make a zweihander but that's cheating

>>52572383
>custom weapon rules
>letting you actually make anything that isn't a cheesy monk weapon

you can't even duplicate the Rapier or Scimitar using those rules

>>52572420

i've never looked into them in-depth since i always just get a greatsword on my martials

>>52572303

>when even a spear doesn't
No.

>>52572450
Hey, that's just my opinion, man. I'm no medieval scholar, but zweihanders seem pretty long.

There are certain edge cases where you can make something ridiculously cheesy good, but a lot of the time you just come out with garbage. Hell, if you want an 18-20 crit range weapon, you've spent MORE POINT ALLOTMENT THAN A TWO HANDED EXOTIC WEAPON NORMALLY GETS.

>3 points for 19-20, 7 additional points for 18-20
>Exotics get +6, two-handers get +3
>you are one point over your allotment so far, and your weapon is a 1d3 exotic weapon with one damage type

>>52572122
Nothing prohibits you from using Acrobatics while prone, and using Acrobatics to move through someone's threat range is just a combat maneuver.

>joking with players in RoW campaign
>cursed dress of Cold Immunity
>It's a +1 Haramaki, statistically, but it cannot be taken off
>It casts a DC 40 Unnatural Lust on all compatible males within 15 feet of the wearer, every single round.
>It also has a polymorph spell attached to it, that only takes effect on male wearers.

How shitty of an idea is this? Should I even give it to them as a joke? Could it work as a loincloth of the same? It might be a joke item for a side session, however.

What are fun 3rd level maneuvers that aren't just damage, or time skitter? Stuff from any discipline will work.

>>52572696
Only if the polymorph turns the wearer into a cute loli kitsune, that's also 800 years old so it's totes legal in any country.

>>52572696
>constant DC 40
>when it's likely to only going to get passed on a nat 20 for even most higher level PCs
>on an item likely going to see use by PCs in single digit levels

oh shit nigga what are you doing
DC 15-20 is probably safer

>>52572726
It's a rape item. The wearer would put it on with the intention of ending every combat in a huge puddle of semen and aches in every orifice.

>>52572726
It's a cursed item anyways. Maybe make it a +6 Charisma item as well. It also doesn't differentiate between allies and enemies, and it's for a party with one woman and three men

Sorcerer like the Wizard are actually shit on the passive defense front. A wizard is fucked the second he's asked to make a saving through because his class has no support for pumping then, he has one good save, and has to pump a non saving throw ability score.

So I'm playing a cavalier in my current game and have been role playing him as a mercenary knight in a relatively low fantasy world. One of the cornerstones of this has been pretty devout worship of a goddess. In our latest session we came upon a town that worshipped this goddess that had recently been conquered. I hadn't really been too bothered by this as I'm true neutral mercenary type.

However when we arrived at the cathedral in the town the commander of the conquering army and a few of his soldiers were manhandling a priest and upon asking one of the peasants in the crowd watching this happen it turned out he'd been arresting the clergy and had looted the church.

I thought this was a great sacrilege and immediately started whipping the crowd into a mob. The chaotic good arcanist in my party wanted to discuss it peacefully with the commander, not necessarily to stop him but just to stop manhandling the priest. He then told the commander to go inside the church where and lock the door so they could discuss it whereupon his men started seizing all the priests. Meanwhile I was still outside whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

tl;dr the crowd and I eventually battered the door down and charged in and the arcanist teleported out. We plan on killing the men who laid their hands on the clergy for their heresy.

This whole caused a great deal of friction OOC between me and the arcanist because he wanted to settle it diplomatically which I've been all too happy to do in every previous session and am usually the party face in diplomacy, but I felt this was a matter of religion and the goddess in question is basically a god of chivalry and the defense of one's home and people.

Am I a dick for putting my character's RP stuff ahead of keeping the party running smoothly IRL?

Should I apologise?

>>52572845
A 5ft movement with a dc increased by five. Acrobatics explicitely states you can do this. If your opponent has reach I guess you're screwed, but you are allowed to roll five feet away and be standing at the end of it.

Not really, as long as the DM approves of the roleplay and it doesn't cause long-term resentment the Arcanist *should* get over it.

And if he doesn't get over it... Well, that's something you can roleplay out!

Not to be that guy, but your allies definitely should be supporting you when an enemy uses maneuvers like that. You may want to invest in magical items that grant levitate to avoid this in the future.

>>52573699
But, they're not. They're watching the DM bully him and they're enjoying it. Taking bets on if the player cries or not. It's clear that no body in the group likes him, they just tolerate him cause it's the polite thing to do.

>>52573562
>>52573630
Then fucking throw something and eat the AoO. Or do full defense to get +4 AC and CMD and stand up, and try not to get hit the next turn.

>>52573796

If you're low enough where an AoO is going to take you down, you were dead anyway.

Is there an SoP archetype/class that can re-select talents for their Conjuration-sphere companion every so often?
I've got an idea for a character, but I really don't want to spend all of my magic talents on customizing 5 weak individual companions when some of them might never even see play.

>>52573847
It's not just that, he can't full attack back either. He's taking probably twice the hits the other guy is putting out, with power attack.

>>52573884
You can retrain talents just like you can feats.

>>52573884
The Arcanist gets to re-choose all their talents every morning, if they want. It's fucked.

>>52573942
doesn't arcanist get the same amount of talents as a lowcaster though
or something like that

>>52573901
Doesn't that take weeks in-game and require someone who can actually teach you? Not particularly viable for my concept, I think.

>>52573942
This seems alright. It's only 2 talents at my level, but that's 2 more than none. Probably my best choice, huh?

>>52573994
It depends on how strict the GM is with. My GM keeps the time restrictions but says as long as you RP the training well then you don't need to find a teacher.

>people still haven't realized the best Dragon 2 stock to invest in

I'm heading straight to the top. Cash money all day, baby.

>>52573994
>>52573957
>>52573942
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're, say, an Incanter and you take a 1 level dip in Sphere Arcanist, what's to stop you from spending one day's worth of spell points to shuffle all of your magic talents around using Quick Study?

>Quick Study (Ex): As a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity, the sphere arcanist may spend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to change one of her selected magic talents to a different magic talent.

I think everything that isn't in Playtest is on the wiki.

>>52574316
>>52574300
Also is the spheres of power wiki just turning into a general repository for shit that isn't on the regular SRD now?

Are any of the Signature Skill feats truly worthwhile?
I am looking at Intimidate, because mine is fairly baller, but I don't know if they are actually worthwhile to take compared to Imperious Command that my DM has greenlit me to take.

>>52574369
Intimidate unlock scales sorta-solidly lategame, particularly when with iteratives+cornugon you could force the save 3-4 times.
Sense Motive one scales slow, but at 20th it's solid. Perception one is pretty neat too.

>>52574369
All of them are pretty alright depending on what your character does. Hell, fucking Climb is decent if you're using Fool's Errand since it grants you a Climb speed at higher levels.

>Wendo Callers get Charisma to Knowledge

It's things that the maintainer wants to use in his games, but aren't on the SRD because Reyes is a piece of shit and won't fucking listen to his volunteers, yes.

Here's a question for /pfg/:

Why do people generally not apply to games with the PoW:E classes often? There's always a few, but the PoW1 classes really outnumber them.

>>52574369
Sense Motive, Perception, Stealth if you ever do sneak attack sniping, Escape Artist if actually use Escape Artist, Bluff at high levels, Disable Device at level 20, Handle Animal for druids (in particular, it makes your animal companion way more convenient), Heal if you don't have a source of ability damage healing, Intimidate if you have Cornugon Smash and have some way to circumvent fear immunity at high level, Ride if you have a special mount.

The rest aren't really worth taking.

>>52574607
1. Harbinger is 2kewl4skool and not enough people appreciate how cool it is
2. Mystic can be a mess to GM for, given its maneuver system.
3. Zealots are weird and collectives are lame
4. Most of the original PoW classes are just better in like every way, be it brutal slayer stalkers or OD/ZS warders.

>>52574607
Because they're all more niche in theme than the original PoW classes. Warlord or warder or stalker can be a lot of things, Zealot is always the telepath guy.

By extension, they make every class that uses collectives fucking lame as shit.

>>52574692
I know. If Collectives were good, I'd like them, but otherwise I'm not gonna bother with them.

Also, should I gestalt Bloodrager/Oracle? I'm not sure how to make them mesh well. Spheres, if it matters. No armor either.

>>52574607
>Mystics and Zealots are both headaches for different reasons (lmao recovery and lmao collective)
>Harbinger is all about them emotions, but is Int based because apparently the only emotion it can feel is apathy

>>52574908
Any caster in the game (with a trait, if it's not on their default list) gets Message at 0, which is basically functionally identical to the collective's medium-range telepathy function and comes online two levels earlier. But yeah, obviously collectives are bad and that's a real concern

It's lame that there is a class dedicated to promoting group unity? Isn't mental communication between pcs a high level goal for parties that get there?
I could understand that kind of mindset if you are one of those people that feel like it's all about you and you don't need the group, but I see a class that's all about the party and making the party better, and succeeds at it to boot. It seems like the real problem is "muh psionics" and being a team player in a system notorious for "I am the protag" mentality.

>>52575024
I don't see how an audible message is functionally similar to telepathied, which isn't audible to people not being telepathied at.

>>52574955
>>52574977
The harbi is kinda just "claim dude, kill dude, say goodbye to swift actions" and the whole "powered by emotions of negativity, but is an int based class" is just fucking weird. Feels somewhat like they were going for a "euphoric" feel.

>>52575024
The difference is that telepathy doesn't require repeated actions to use.

Agreed.

>CHAbinger when?

>>52575044
No. I never want my PCs to be constantly communicating to people telepathically, I think thats literally as lame as it gets.

Bards are much better at promoting group unity and do it in a way that feels cool

Teamwork stuff from Inquisitors and Cavaliers is much cooler and promotes teamwork

Fuck just about anything is cooler than the garbage that is 'Muh Collective'

>>52575067
>When mounted and using the charge action

Are you using the charge action, anon?

>>52575044
I actually like Psionics and none of my complaints had anything to do with team work. But yeah, don't address my points and just try to paint me as "muh lone wolf" type for some fucking reason.


And on the subject. It probably is fucking reasonable for a PC to refuse to join a fucking collective since mental communication like that is really, really fucking intimate. This is going way beyond just bard songs.

Yosh.

>>52575053
The Int comes from their knowledge of how to harness that negativity as opposed to just chimping out like a Cha based class would.

>>52575045
A whispered message that requires a DC25 Perception check? Nothing and nobody's passing that at low levels. It's functionally inaudible to anyone you're not targeting.

>>52575063
Message lasts 10 minutes/level. If you're not refreshing it every two or three minutes because you have an unused standard, you're an idiot.

>>52575092
I also enjoy Psionic classes, I just specifically dislike and disdain the collective mechanic because its just... So fucking off putting.

>>52575107
A lot of things can pass that at low levels.

>>52575106
Even then, harnessing darker emotions would have been more wisdom than int.

I know that for maneuvers that require a charge (Black Seraph/Piercing Thunder/Primal Fury stuff) you're not using the charge action. I'm just wondering if a standard action strike would get it's damage tripled with Spirited Charge + lance.

Collectives wouldn't bother me without that, but with the mind-thing it just makes them... Seem creepy

>A mounted charge is a charge made by you and your mount. During a mounted charge, you deal double damage with your first melee attack made with a lance or with any weapon if you have Spirited Charge (or a similar effect), or you deal triple damage with a lance and Spirited Charge.

You're counted as charging, you're just making a strike instead of a melee attack. Does it not work because of a ruled glitch I'm not seeing, or just because the devs said so?

>>52575167

>>52575200
It's more like being in a group-chat with your friends than anything. Worst case scenario, you're getting some background chatter while you're doing something else, but it's not mind reading, like other anon said earlier. If your character wants to keep a secret, they can. You don't say/type whatever comes to mind in a conversation, do you?

Also, they get the ability at level 3. Assuming an adventure starts at 1, you've already had like 5k xp worth of adventuring with them and you all clearly trust each other with your lives, so it's not a big deal.

>>52575471
"Maneuvers and Mounted Combat
When a character initiates a martial strike or boost
during a mounted charge attack, the initiation of the
maneuver overrides any damage bonuses that are
would be gained while performing this action (such as
by the Spirited Charge feat or while wielding a lance),
and the initiator deals damage as if they were not
charging (the effects of the strike or boost are applied to
the attack as normal). If a mounted character initiates a
strike that includes a charge attack, their mount forgoes
its normal actions this round and takes a full-round
action to move up to twice its speed in a straight line,
taking the normal penalty to its AC for charging. Martial
counters and stances are unaffected by being mounted,
and a character can gain their effects as normal."

Death is important. Not just glamorous heroic deaths, but petty painful deaths. It helps a group grow when their survival is really at stake.

>>52575602
Thats fine?

I never said you shouldn't?

Its just something I don't like and I've never made any kind of mechanical argument as to why I don't like it, its purely for flavorful reasons that I despise it.

>>52575600
As opposed to non-memegames like Dragons 2 and SotJr?

>>52575553
>>52575565

Our usual DM doesn't like high-level games because PCs get to do things. Even starting later, if you can go through a murder-dungeon with some people, there's clearly trust there.

>>52575537
Ah, Okay. Thanks anon.

>>52575641
>doesn't like high level games because pcs get to do things

?????????

>>52575621
One day I'd love to hear the story of SotSr.

>>52575619
>autist is scared of being intimacy
Surprising.

>>52575616
No, fuck off. I put effort into my character they should only die on my fucking terms, not when the dice just decide they should.

>>52575616
You think they're coming out stronger, better players and characters for it, but there's really no difference. Making a ton of character sheets when you know you're going to throw all but one away kind of takes the impact out.

>>52575694
No, fuck you. I shouldn't have to sit through the GM's shitty novel. It's the same reason GMs with their fucking stupid restrictive settings should fuck off. I want to play an elf, I don't fucking care there aren't elves in your setting. I don't fucking care about it being an 'immersive experience'.

I'm here to have fun, not jack of a power tripping GM.

>>52575714
Then fuck off somewhere else then.

This is some nice references anon, i'm catching all of them even if the dummy you're baiting isn't

>>52575749
How do I optimize for ripping off a child's head?

>>52575705
From my experience actually running games in this manner I have to say you're simply incorrect.

I have ran a game in this manner from levels 1 to 7. At level 5 the character deaths began to slow down, but before that over the course of 20 sessions (4 sessions per level) we had a total of 11 character deaths between 6 players.

Because we had built a story of the mercenary crew and who they were this meant a lot of stuff. The organization changed because the player who was playing the 2nd in command died, and thus the company changed.

One player never had his character die and rose through the ranks due to other's deaths.

One player had 5 of the 11 total deaths, making his squad famous as being a death trap.

It builds a story and a narrative. I'm not saying games where death doesn't happen don't, but it's a much safer narrative where all the rough edges have been sanded down so no one gets offended when a character dies.

Building a story of grizzled veterans and seeing how the world changes around you as people join, leave, die, get sick/injured, keep going, triumph is a great thing. Death is a high stake in this regard.

If your players can't stay excited because they know their character might die then I would say that's on them. They want a safe adventure where they don't have to worry about challenge with permanent consequences. I'm not saying that's wrong, but that's the kind of players I filter out of my games because we obviously want something different.

>>52575779
The hell's wrong with you, anon?

That's not the kind of question anyone should feel the need to ASK in the adult world.

>>52575790
I mean, dude, having tons of backups is a fucking old school thing. Nobody really cared if a few people dropped. Hell, you'd have parties of 10 to 15 and still only like four to five players. Your group might still get attached to every sheet, but for most people, it just makes them disposable.

Fighter Bob, then Fighter Bob 2 through 10 is an old joke for a reason

>>52575818
It's cool, she pinged as evil and int is my character's dump stat.

So how do I most painlessly rip off her head?

>>52575818
Anon, it's what a LG Inquisitor should, nay must do.

>>52575827
>Your group might still get attached to every sheet, but for most people, it just makes them disposable.
That's what I'm saying. I only hold only players who like my type of game and actually can be attached to not only one character, but can get attached to new character, and are attached to the story of the group the party is a part of (my most used start is a fledgling mercenary band).

I'm not saying you're a bad person if you can't. I just don't want you in my games because you won't enjoy my style and I won't change my style.

>>52575621
Remember when there was a Dragons 1?

>>52575871
They just aren't quite as much of a meme-team sadly

Though i really like their characters

>>52575862
And I'm saying your game sounds mediocre as hell. Your players aren't of a higher caliber than the average, neither in nor out of character, just because they have a ton of backup sheets. Fuck dude I have a thumbdrive around here that just has backups for shit like convention play. It doesn't mean anything.

Which meme characters do you think will still be talked about on /pfg/ six months from now?

>>52575907
Yeah this is probably true

Frankly though D2 buzz wouldn't exist if Rory's player wasn't such a delightful trainwreck to watch

>>52575939
Whichever character has the most fetish appeal.

>>52575940
If Rory wasn't hogging the spotlight it would just be people jacking off over Rinka and Aurora, probably.

>>52575955
Not sure why, the game is full of waifu-bait.

>>52575970
>DUDE SMASH THE R@
>DUDE PUNCHGIRL

Then again, meme magic works in mysterious ways. Maybe we'd be talking about who would be the first to peg Rorymei

>>52575984
I'm just saying, Calsi, Lio, Rorymei

Waifus

Waifus all around.

/pfg/ needs to expand its waifu mind

>>52575918
I'm not saying my players are better or that others are worse. I'm just saying I find people who enjoy my kind of game and filter out people who don't. Enjoying a particular style and being able to lend yourself to that style doesn't make you better, just different. I don't want to change my style because this is what I enjoy running, so rather than keep people around who don't like/can't effectively play in my style I get those who can.

Like I can't invest myself in a game where character death is rare/near impossible. Does that make me a poor player? For that particular game, sure, but overall it just makes me different.

Being different and wanting different things out of games isn't bad.

>>52575653
Exactly what's on the tin, friend. They prefer rusty dagger shanktown because there's a high mortality rate and nothing players can do to stop it.

>>52575939
Not many. Probably the RotJR meme squad. Maybe Rory if he can keep making a spectacle of himself for that long.

>>52576012
We're due another blunder from him. I wonder what it will be.

>>52575999
>It helps a group grow when their survival is really at stake.
This is what you said to start. You're wrong.

>>52576031
Except it helps my group grow because I pick players who do well in this kind of game.

It doesn't help ALL groups grow. It helps my group grow in the narrative.

>>52576060
Nah, dude, eat your words.

>>52575939
Rory, he was a trainwreck that started off promising before becoming... whatever he is now.
Etan, he's a literal animal, and a foxy daddy
Casimir, for daddy memes
Valeriya because... valeriya
Onryou because she's /pfg'/s golden girl.

>>52576027
>yfw memedog releases PoW errata

>>52576027
I'm calling a retarded overwrought plan -ingame- rather than something out of game.

>>52575955
People seem to think he's "hogging" the spotlight but from reading greentext, he seems sort of low key in game. It sounds like they had an entire session dedicated to Calsi.

>>52576072
Shit man I don't know what you want from me. I'm saying it helps the group grow. It helps my group grow. I get rid of players who don't like my kind of game.

Not every player is right for every game and grows as a party in every style of play.

Sorry I guess for starting out with what sounded like a blanket statement?

>>52576027
He's been thirsting after Bailey in public chats for a few days now, my money's on him forging ERP logs and releasing them as punishment for her spurning his advances.

>>52576027
I think he's trying his very best to keep in check so he doesn't turn people off of Bloodmountain.

>>52576074
I was thinking something in game yeah, like an attempted PK

>>52576119
I doubt he'd be dumb enough to PK.

It was a blanket statement. That's what a blanket statement is. Either you're being a faggot and weaseling out of it or you never learned the difference between general and specific.

>>52576130
I would call that less dumb than releasing ERP logs without permission
