Tomorrow I’m moving to Alaska for the summer for a seasonal job on the Tongass national forest! I hope I don’t get trapped in a camp somewhere protected by an ancient curse!

10.31 Transcript
Daisy: Be careful. I’ll cover you and keep an eye on the surrounds.
Kiro: I’m going in? … This lesson is moving way too fast.
Daisy: You’re the one with the machete.
Kiro: Rats.
Something: Muuuh! Uuh! Uugh!
Daisy: Don’t hunch up! Keep your stance open!
Kiro: You pay attention too.
Kiro: What the-
Hey maybe it’s just the lost guy trying to communicate with a family of bears.
Wait… the machete is blunt? Or did she mean melee weapon?
Either way, Daisy is ranged so yeah… melee characters tank.
Aaaaagh! Nooooo! Not another cliff-hanger weekend. =) Still, I like that hair standing up effect, not to mention the whole, ‘I’ll coach you from out here’ vibe from Daisy. I begin to see that she’s one of those ‘school of hard knocks’ kind of mentors.
Is the machete blunt?
I don’t think a machete is a blunt weapon. You either slash or stab with it. Did you mean melee or close combat?
Also do remember to take some salt and powdered silver with you just in case 😉
I’ve heard of hands-on learning, but being sent into a cave to bludgeon/stab a bloodthirsty whatever is one steep curve.
It’s blunt on three sides.
It’s probably blunt. Sharpening a machete and keeping it sharp takes constant work and a degree of skill most people never learned. Most of the machetes I’ve seen have been about as sharp as a butterknife.
Oh wow enjoy Alaska in the summer! I bet you’ll love it.
Just pretend the mosquitoes don’t exist.
When the DM assigns your weapon the blunt attribute when you facing creatures immune to blunt damage.
