![]() Moreover, the normal range of a hand crossbow is only 30 feet- less than the range of Shadow Step! This attack is starting to look like a waste of an action. A high-level PC is probably going to have a Constitution save mod of between +2 and +8, meaning the shadowblade may have as low as a 30 percent chance of poisoning its target, to say nothing of knocking it unconscious. The NPC isn’t likely to have more than a +1 or +2 saving throw modifier-but even this is enough to give him or her a 45 to 50 percent chance of success. Given the shadowblade’s challenge rating of 11, its targets are likely to be high-level adventurers-or NPCs in the presence of high-level adventurers, which is a pretty different kettle of fish. ![]() Any comparative advantage is going to have to come from a debilitating condition. The Hand Crossbow attack, which consumes a full action, does an average of 8.5 damage, far less than a single Shadow Sword attack, let alone a Multiattack. Does initiating combat with this attack offer any advantage over jumping right into melee? Let’s see. In addition to its melee Multiattack, the shadowblade also has a fairly straightforward ranged attack that does piercing damage and may also impose the poisoned and unconscious conditions. (This stunt can be performed only once per turn, so even if the shadowblade has more than one patch of darkness lingering around, it can’t use both its Shadow Sword attacks to do this extra damage.) But with its Multiattack, on any Shadow Sword hit after the first, the shadowblade can direct that darkness into its enemy for a burst of additional necrotic damage. Even if the target has a light source that creates bright light, the creation of this magical darkness gives the shadowblade a “teleporter pad” by which it can use Shadow Step to slip away. By itself, Shadow Sword not only does piercing, necrotic and poison damage on a hit but also creates a patch of magical darkness. The drow shadowblade’s Multiattack consists of two Shadow Sword attacks that synergize into a nasty combination. If the shadowblade’s target lacks darkvision and is bumbling around in the murk without a decent light source, the sequence is less crucial, and the shadowblade is free to use Shadow Step to slip out of melee rather than to initiate it. Simply attacking while unseen grants advantage, too. That’s assuming, however, that a shadowblade needs Shadow Step in order to gain advantage on its attack. In addition, as a bonus action, shadowblades can use the Shadow Step feature to teleport up to 60 feet between one dimly lit or dark location and another doing so also grants advantage on “the first melee attack it makes before the end of the turn.” The wording is crucial, because it dictates shadowblades’ turn sequence and mode of striking: the bonus action must be taken before the attack, and the attack must be a melee attack, i.e., either Shadow Sword, grapple or shove. They also have the standard drow spell package of dancing lights plus one daily casting each of darkness, faerie fire and levitate. Like all drow, they have long-range darkvision plus Sunlight Sensitivity, confining them to nighttime and (more likely) subterranean operations. With proficiency in all of the “big three” saving throws (Dexterity, Constitution and Wisdom) and with innate advantage against being charmed, shadowblades have little to fear from enemy spellcasters and can assail their desired targets without distraction. Their Constitution is high enough that they can handle a protracted battle, but they’d rather not. With extraordinary Dexterity serving as both their primary offensive ability and primary defensive ability, they’re shock attackers, striking swiftly and hard with the goal of taking out their targets as fast as possible. Drow shadowblades are spies and assassins, trained to strike from hiding.

![]() The contribution draws largely on regulatory and instructive literature including catechisms and popular devotional tracts, personal testimony and specific liturgical and devotional objects and spaces. However, a focus on bodies and objects also suggests the idea of immanence, and a more fluid interrelationship between sacred and profane space than might be generally considered. On the one hand, at this time the intense construction and prominent siting of thousands of religious buildings including churches, denominational institutions and entire urban quarters suggest that sacred and secular spaces were highly defined and circumscribed. In this, this essay reexamines the relationship between religious and secular space during this period. The bodily-material culture techniques under discussion include gesture, ways of interacting with objects and spaces, and in general the embedding of new forms of material knowledge and body schema. In this, it sees bodies as connected to artefacts through material practices. It argues that a more orthopraxic physical disposition was a significant aspect of the experience and practice of Catholicism, and suggests ways of thinking about that in relation to religious imagination and space. more This essay addresses how new procedural knowledge was promoted during the devotional revolution in nineteenth-century Ireland, particularly in relation to bodily-material culture techniques.

Thus, keep your room cool and remove blankets as needed. Body temperature increases are one reason you wake up. Your body needs to drop in temperature by 1-3 degrees to fall and stay asleep effectively. It will pass!ġ0) Keep the room you sleep in cool and dark and layer on blankets that you can remove.

(Shift workers should see the Huberman Lab Podcast on jetlag for offsetting shift work negative effects. Viewing bright lights of all colors are a problem for your circadian system. Blue blockers can help a bit at night but still dim the lights. It’s only 10-15 min long and will help you rewire your nervous system to be able to relax faster.ĥ) Avoid viewing bright lights-especially bright overhead lights between 10 pm and 4 am. Here is a simple rule: only use as much artificial lighting as is necessary for you to remain and move about safely at night. Do the Reveri sleep self-hypnosis 3x a week at any time of day. Walker was on the Huberman Lab Podcast and we discussed this in detail.Ĥ) If you have sleep disturbances, insomnia, or anxiety about sleep, try the research-supported protocols on the Reveri app (for iPhone). I do fine with caffeine at 2 pm and I go to sleep at ~10-11 pm. Matt Walker (sleep expert from UC Berkeley) might even say 12-14 hours. 2) Wake up at the same time each day and go to sleep when you first start to feel sleepy. Pushing through the sleepy late evening feeling and going to sleep too late (for you) is one reason people wake at 3 am and can’t fall back asleep.ģ) Avoid caffeine within 8-10 hours of bedtime. No, you don’t have to look directly at the sun, and never look at ANY light so bright it is painful to view! That said, you can’t wear a brimmed hat, sunglasses and remain in the shade and expect to “wake up” your circadian clock. If you live someplace with very minimal light, consider an artificial daytime simulator source.ĭon’t wear sunglasses for this practice if you safely can, but contact lenses and eyeglasses are fine. On bright cloudless days: view morning and afternoon sun for 10 min cloudy days: 20 min very overcast days 30-60 min. Do that again in the late afternoon, prior to sunset. If you wake up before the sun is out and you want to be awake, turn on artificial lights and then go outside once the sun rises. So here is my list for how to get better at sleeping:ġ) View sunlight by going outside within 30-60 minutes of waking. Episode 2 of the Huberman Lab Podcast (Master Your Sleep) is all about that topic, but I wanted to provide a succinct list of the key things for sleep. It ended up being shared more than any other post, which told me that people likely want tools for getting better at sleeping. 2 Huberman Lab Podcast, HLP interview w/Matt Walker - Andrew D. ![]() from UmeÃ¥, SwedenThe Scottish band Marmalade have also covered this song, as far as I remember.

![]() Chicago visionary Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the timeless twin towers at 860–880 Lake Shore Drive to be balcony-free. Instead of facing outward toward their noisy neighborhoods, people sealed up their homes, turning toward their living rooms.Īrchitects followed suit. City dwellers soon found plenty of other uses for them: a place to hang laundry, grow plants, strike up a chat with neighbors, and move furniture.īut porches and balconies began to die off in the mid–20th century, due in large part to the advent of air conditioning and television. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the city updated its fire code to require that every apartment have at least two exits. ![]() ![]() The wooden back porch, Chicago’s folk version of the balcony, was something of a happy accident. ![]() “You could have a quick chat with Miss Jones and keep up with the neighbors while maintaining some privacy.” “They were the front porch of the residential towers,” says Chicago architect John Ronan. From their individual balconies, Chicagoans were close enough to interact with their neighbors, but far enough away to discourage extended conversations. On more modest buildings - two to six stories high - the balcony served a social function for Chicago’s working and middle classes. Eventually, they spread to the streets of dense American cities. In the 1880s, early skyscrapers were designed with balconies to elevate the upper class above the touch of the masses and foul smells of the city - especially in meatpacking districts. Today, we tend to think of balconies as private outdoor recreation for individuals, but their newfound prominence harks back to the 19th century, when they became an architectural staple of industrializing Europe. “To have a balcony during coronavirus is to enjoy fresh air without anxiety,” wrote a CityLab writer lamenting her own lack of a balcony. For urban dwellers lucky enough to have them during shelter-in-place, balconies have served as outdoor work-from-home spaces, places to grow and cook food, and a convenient way to catch a breath of fresh air. The residential balcony is a rare exception - a pandemic-proof social space. Social distancing temporarily killed off almost all of Chicago’s “third places,” the term coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg for spaces where spontaneous social connections happen, like coffee shops, parks, bars, hair salons, community centers, and libraries. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, they're a slice of pleasant purgatory between inside and outside, public and private space. Sanjeev Vidyarthi, an associate professor of urban planning and policy and a senior fellow of the Great Cities Institute at the University of Illinois at Chicago.īalconies, in other words, are more than glorified grill storage or trophies for inhabitants of ritzy downtown high-rises. “This remarkable moment in time has forced all of us to rethink the physical space we inhabit and it’s showing what a great feature the balcony is,” says Dr. Now, balcony envy is driving even greater demand among buyers and renters since shelter-in-place orders started in mid-March, according to local realtors and developers. It’s hard to imagine better PR for Chicago’s manmade perches. Think of the joyous YouTube videos of South Loop high-rise dwellers belting out Bon Jovi from their balconies, or cheering for medical workers during nightly “Chicago Unite At Night” celebrations. Since the March lockdown, Chicago’s balconies have taken on a whole new meaning.

![]() Suffice it to say, somebody at Telltale has fantastic taste. While the Borderlands series has always been known for its great music, the selection here is stupendously great. While we could go on and on about every feature that makes it so great (which we do in our review), the part that stood out the most to us was its fantastic use of licensed music. What begun as a fairly questionable project has turned out to be one of the best games of the year. but i rather if those were explained in this game.Tales from the Borderlands has sadly come to a close, but what a ride. Well i didnt play other borderlands games before i am not much into shooters. After that you can choose a replacement member (and you can buy the secret Vault Hunter) If you choose him in your Vault Hunter team, you'll get 9M from the armoire and he explains you what I just said. The armoire fell during EP2's intro and that wasn't the plan at all. He replaced the real money with fake when Fiona was out cold for a bit in the caravan in EP1, then he put the real money in an armoire in the caravan. Felix isn't really explained but he was hiding somewhere if he's alive in your playthrough and he actually never betrayed you, he was willing to sacrifice himself for Fiona and Sasha so they can get the blame on him with Vallory and not have anyone chase them for the money. August - Fiona said that after the Vault, they just patched him up and they lived their normal lifes. The future parts of the story happen a lil while after that. Athena didn't die, Brick and Mordecai just captured her so Lilith can interrogate her and ask her some questions. EP3's ending with Athena ties in with the beginning (and ending) of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. other than that details it was good finale. especially for athena, last time i saw her she was beaten up and almost dead. It was kinda odd to find them again and team up again all of a sudden. such as what happened to felix, athena or agust after they closed down the vault in sandstorm.

Really wish Rhys talked to her before going into the vault.Īnyway, I'm gonna agree with and say that I enjoyed the ending and the game in general a great deal :) Her romance option could've been a little more fleshed out, but still, what we got was a great kind of experience, and it's really hard not to like her. At that point, no matter what was inside, it would've been a disappointment in comparison to all the awesome weapons, treasures and monsters we've just seen.Īs I mentioned in a similar thread, one thing that made me feel sad is that I dind't have a chance for one last talk with Sasha. I'm glad they didn't show the content of the vault, though. Yet, the ending didn't suprise me - the entire story, albeit cruel sometimes, was presented in such a way that I didn't expect anything less than a happy end. It's probably my least favourite game by them, and yet I still enjoyed the hell out of it and finished it in two sittings. Tales from the Borderlands is a much more light-hearted experience than the rest of the Telltale Games. |
