I’m a simple man: I see a Doctor Who meme, I upvote.
It’s just Lego. (same with die and dice)
No, it’s LEGO bricks. LEGO is the brand name. If you want to be pedantic AND correct, you should be referring to them as “LEGO Brand construction bricks”, though if you’re referring to a boxed set, it’s “LEGO brand construction brick playset”.
Or you could just not be douchey about it. Either way there is no connection to dice/die.
You could also just say legos, because the only reason the company cares about it is to prevent genericization of a term that makes them money.
I suppose the correct pedantic way to say it is “Lego bricks” even in the plural. But brevity in titles is a thing I strive for. Less so in the comments section. Also marbles. Marbles feel surprisingly sharp for spheres when stepped upon.
I don’t call it a Jacuzzi Hot Tub I don’t call it a Jet Ski Watercraft I don’t call it a Onesie Bodysuit. I don’t call them Popsicle Ice pops It’s not a Sharpie Permanent Marker
Just saying the brand to mean the thing is wildly common, a Lego is a Lego, and if you’re trying to find a specific type of brick is the only name more words are needed.
well sure. i’m not saying people should be calling them lego bricks. it’s fine to call them just legos or lego.
but i think you missed my point, which was: don’t get all preachy about “you have to call them lego, you can’t say legos because it’s wrong”, when it’s equally as fucking wrong to call them lego. The company tells you to call them lego bricks, so if you’re going to go around telling people that one thing is wrong, you shouldn’t be telling them to instead use something else which is also wrong, because then you’re just being a douchebag.
The equivalent here is if you were to call the markers “sharpie” as a plural, and go around confidently telling other people they’re wrong for saying “sharpies” because “look the company calls them sharpie permanent markers, so the proper plural form is obviously sharpie, just like how it works with dice/die” (which, again, there is no way in which the lego or sharpie situations are similar to the pluralization of die).
I mean, at level 9, 5d (4+1) guaranteed damage is still pretty good. Especially for a 1st level spell. I did feel the need to make a 9th level guaranteed hit spell though.
Magic missile can become a lot more potent than that (on average):
- Make a Scribes wizard
- Take the Elemental Adept feat and pick something that very few creatures are immune to, e.g. thunder.
- Change the MM’s damage to thunder.
Now you can pew-pew to your heart’s content with each pew doing a guaranteed 3 damage instead of 2, and puming the average damage of the pews from 3.5 to 3.75. Not a huge jump, but if you upcast it to level 5 with 7 pews, that’s 26.25 on average instead of 24.5 with a minimum of 21 instead of 14.
