The agreement grants 25% in base wage increases through April 2028, and will cumulatively raise the top wage by over 30% to more than $40 an hour, and raise the starting wage by 68%, to over $28 an hour.

The lowest-paid workers at Ford will see a raise of more than 150% over the life of the agreement, with some workers receiving an immediate 85% increase immediately upon ratification.

The agreement reinstates major benefits lost during the Great Recession, including Cost-of-Living Allowances and a three-year Wage Progression, as well as killing divisive wage tiers in the union. It improves retirement for current retirees, those workers with pensions, and those who have 401(k) plans. It also includes a historic right to strike over plant closures, a first for the union.

What’s up PF2E people!

Before Reddit imploded, there was someone who made an incredibly detailed analysis of the utility of True Strike vs. Magic Weapon, with spreadsheets and all.

Well, I’m making a homebrew rule for armor in PF2E to make it so that armor provides provides both an AC boost as well as resistance to physical damage. This would also add multiple layers of armor, so different resistances apply depending on whether the opponent hits your plate, or else rolls a precise enough attack to hit the mail beneath it, or finds a gap to hit your gambeson, or bypasses your armor altogether with a clean strike to your squishy bits.

Obviously, this is a REALLY dicy proposition in a system that wasn’t built with such resistances in mind, but I have some ideas that could work well for people who enjoy fleshing out their character’s kit with a lot more flavor.

Anyone know where Balance Spreadsheet Analysis Guy went after the subreddit was purged? Is he here, walking among the lemmings?? Or maybe you’re interested in adding obnoxious layers of complexity to your Champion, for immersion’s sake? If you’d like to help me formulate these alternate rules in a way that is balanced and fun, please let me know!

This is great! Where can we find more?

…thank you. This is the call to action I needed.

Ooh, I do this too! I like to throw a twist into my characters, just to make them different from me. That way they become less of a self-insert, and I get to explore a different life experience.

I also had my very patriarchal, xenophobic dwarven cleric go through a bisexual awakening after meeting some fit, hairless male monks. It was remarkable how normal it felt for him to have that dawning realization, even as he was already married (to a proper Dwarven woman). I was a much better ally after that campaign, especially when a new player joined us, who was bisexual.

For my one trans character, I asked my gender non-conforming friends for advice, so that I wouldn’t accidentally make an ignorant caricature.

Make your characters Ace! Or Pan! Taste the rainbow in your games, even if you’re limited to one or two colors IRL.

This is a great analogy. I am the ADHD programming dog.

Despite gender differences, the team found little evidence for rigid rules. “If somebody liked to hunt, they could just hunt,” Wall-Scheffler says.

Imagine that! Let’s normalize more of that in our post-industrial world.

Though few anthropologists still subscribe fully to the Man the Hunter narrative, its premises continue to influence interpretations.

This is the story of so many of our narratives. Invented to justify the status quo, then deeply embedded in our cultural narratives, so that they seem eternal. I’m so glad that we are intentionally disassembling these assumptions, one generation at a time.
