It depends on game and edition. Newer d&d for instance, wisdom is all about senses and willpower. It would apply if the book has bad vibes or some sort of "do not read aloud"/"danger" markings or something. Int would be more appropriate for common sense and knowledge of how to handle possibly cursed items.

In Ireland, being "not too bad" is a mark of considerable wellbeing

Like in that famous idiom, you can lead a horse to radioactive pellets, but you can't make it eat.

I just discovered the Wabbajack modpack manager and am enjoying the Lost Legacy pack. I'm like 20 hours in and still don't really know what playstyle I want, but conjuration is featuring heavily.

I just find replicators to be a dull enemy in general: there's so little personality to them. I suppose that's the point, but it's not my jam. It was a bit better with the human form replicators and the asurans but not much. The universe drones were worse on that front.

I hope they keep Lucian alliance and drones/replicators on the sidelines. They're the weakest storylines.

That is so bad... I was thinking the last letter of

TitleBritain, or United Kingdom or something

I don't understand the {last letter in 🇬🇧} clue - any ideas?

I took it as meaning birds are currently at 180 from dinosaurs and a further 180 will return them to dinosaur status, completing the full 360.

On the first point I agree. In my country, 40-50% is a pass usually and that seems crazy for its own reasons. But a curve can make that worse just as easily as it can make it better. The education system I work in is now introducing the idea that not only do you need to hit 50% to pass, you also have to show a competency with every learning outcome on the curriculum. We'll see how it goes. My subject areas haven't been hit yet.

The second point is essentially what I said, it's a cop out for a teacher who is bad at setting exams. Easily fixed by some QA and/or collaboration. At least run it by a TA. Also they should read the curriculum before writing an assessment.

Grading on a curve is always absurd to me: it's a cop out for teachers who don't know how to set curriculum/exams properly and demeans the education process.

Should just be

  • here's a list of things you learn in this class
  • you demonstrate understanding and skill over about 60% of that list
  • you get a grade of 60%
