Grrl Power #1241 – The Mighty Scoville
I think about 90% of you predicted this. I like to keep you guys guessing, but sometimes it would truly make no sense if the characters don’t at least try the obvious path.
The name of the dish is “The Mighty Scoville” in case you were wondering.
I played another Pathfinder session, and in the interest of science and convincing myself that I don’t have evil dice karma, here are my (D20) rolls for the game:
3, 2, 1, 4, 1, 5, 14, 5, 8, 3, 1, 6, 5, 11, 20, 14, 1, 3, 16, 16, 15, 8, 9, 20, 9, 8, 1, 14, 19.
The bold numbers are attack rolls, the other ones are mostly perception rolls, initiative, and misc stuff like will or fort saves.
That means my average attack roll was 10.5, which is not exceptional at all. The non-combat average was 6.9. The total average over all 29 rolls was 8.1. It’s not statistically that far out there, but really, those first 6 rolls had the rest of the table trying to get me to switch dice and/or switch dice rolling tray.
I was using this one cause I like that the outer wall holds about 5 sets of dice. If I don’t limit how many dice I bring I, well, I bring too many dice. I mean I still bring a few “giant” (55mm) D20s, but I just like setting them up around my area so I can fidget roll them around in my hand. I would love to have a 55mm solid tungsten or osmium D20 (osmium is apparently toxic until it oxidizes, but you can put sealant on it) because they would both weigh a surprising amount. Unfortunately I think the tungsten one would probably cost around $4,000, the osmium one would cost… let’s see, total volume of a 55mm icosahedron… weight of that much osmium… convert grams to troy ounces… Roughly $30,000? Yeah, probably not worth it just so someone can pick it up and go “Whoa, that’s surprisingly heavy!”
The new vote incentive is up! This is a bit of a weird one as it’s a character that hasn’t appeared in the comic.
It’s my Ifrit Pathfinder 1e monk, Fray! Ifrits don’t really make great monks in Pathfinder, as player characters they get a +2 to Dex and Cha, but -2 to Wis. For monks, Dex is good, Cha is largely irrelevant, but Wis is important as it can add to your AC and also has something to do with Ki points I think. But I didn’t care. I wanted a character with dark blue/gray skin and glowing orange hair, so that’s what I picked. (I don’t think Ifrit even really have dark skin, so maybe she’s 1/4 Drow? Don’t care. I think she looks cool.) Will she show up in the comic? I mean… maybe? Probably in a Dabbler flashback, but who knows?
As usual, Patreon has her in delicto flagrante.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.

"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Where did you study law? All charges are made up. Laws are made up. Constitution is also made up. Money is made up. Word Lawfare are made up. Society and Civilization is made up. Nations States Communities Boarders, all made up. Ethics is made up. If they are not applied consistently with facts and evidence, then they are not only made up, they are meaningless. Facts and evidence are put into a cultural crucible with the made up name court and tested for validity more rigorously than public opinion in a culture that holds freedom of speech and privacy as a public governmental value.
Anyone confused of nepotism comment, in past?
Several presidents including Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Obama were advised that they could not appoint relatives to White House positions under the 1967 anti-nepotism law, Section 3110 of Title 5, U.S. Code.
The day of Trump’s inauguration, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Daniel Koffsky provided a 14-page opinion stating that federal anti-nepotism law didn’t apply to the White House. It stated that the president was allowed “special hiring authority” because the federal law concerns “only appointments in an agency,” which the White House is not.
Ivanka Trump adviser to the president.
Jared Kushner assistant to the president and senior adviser and primary Middle East negotiator that ended up getting 2billion from Saudi Sovereign wealth fund to manage as soon as he left the White house. (Security Clearance would have been denied if not son in law of 45)
Slightly more distant, family of allies:
While Elaine Chao Wife of Senator Mcconall Secretary of Transportation had credibility as previous Secretary of Labor.
Andrew Giuliani son of Rudy also got associate director of the office of public liaison.
William Barr’s son-in-law Tyler McGaughey, left his position at the U.S. Attorney’s office in Alexandria, Virginia, for the White House. At the same time, Barr’s eldest daughter, Mary Daly, left her job at the deputy attorney general’s office for a position within the Treasury Department following the Appointment of Bill Barr amidst the Muller Investigation.
Lara Trump getting appointed to Lead the Republican National Committee. Lara Trump said multiple times this week she will reshape the Republican Party to funnel cash to former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign and possibly help pay millions in ballooning legal expenses.
The Nepotism runs strong in this family. And appears to apply it liberally to reign in control of allies.
The TDS runs strong in this one…good, good, let the hate flow…ignore the facts, regurgitate the desperate press releases you’ve been fed then wail tears of shame when you find out just how badly yuou’ve been lied to.
That’s it, not politicizing the comments section any more than necessary, but you might want to check the current *resident’s entourage and research who’s related to who in the political/media world. it’s out there, flow charts and contact webs, your ‘source’ when you inevitably demand it is right in front of your eyes , all you need to do is open them.
When I really got into playing Pathfinder, I decided to make a tank since we were doing organized play and the DM is not allowed to edit the enemies. So my character’s AC was such where the average enemy would need a Nat20 to hit.
I got hit 50% of the time and scrapped the character.
I used to DM a lot, two groups on alternating weeks was hard but fun because one was ‘good’ the other ‘evil’ (read more as one aulteristic, the other selfish) and they didn’t know they were playing in the same world and affecting each other until near the very end of the campaign.
I also was a preschool teacher at the time and did fun things with the kids that used D&D dice for math up to 20. To this extent I bought a set of dice that were 6 inches (apx 152mm) foam so the kids could use as dodge balls when we played D&D outside on the play ground. (instead of rolling the D20 throw the D20 at cardboard cut out monsters)
Anyway the dice found their way to the table where they helped my stress levels when DMing stupid. Not only were they good stress balls but I could throw them at the players when one wanted to say cast cold ice strike on the king’s thrown and freeze it. Everyone always cared about what the roll would be after it bounced off a forehead.
I do not recommend throwing a tungsten die at some one; or setting/rolling tungsten on a glass table.
Is it the Sydney special or the Scoville supreme? Either way this is probably how she recharges her power so that she can keep the orbs up and running.
