Fighter: So uhhhhh… you gotta pretty neat weapon there.
Artificer: Thanks, designed “Ol Buzzy” myself!
Fighter: Mind if I give her a go?
Artificer: Sure, but you need any pointers?
Fighter: Naaaaaw, I can figure it out.
Artificer: *To the DM* CAN he figure it out?
DM: *To fighter* …roll me a wisdom check.
Fighter: *Nat 1*
DM, Artificer, and Fighter in unison: Hoo boy.
[A picture of a man starting a chainsaw while the blade is placed between his legs, resting on his crotch.]
Almost full circle back to the original purpose …
Chopping wood?
Their first use was as a surgical tool.
For women who needed their hips sawed open during birth… Horrifying.
I just looked into this and I will never see chainsaws in the way i’ve seen them before. As far as I understand it it was revolutionary at the time and saved lives, but it was absolutely gruesome either way.
For anyone who is as innocent as I was 10 minutes ago and wants to change thatLeaving it blue, but my imagination may have already made that too late.
Horrific, thanks
The good ol’ days, where men were men, and women… needed chainsaws during childbirth.
If only …
Makes your wish you had aphantasia
If Distractible has taught me one thing, it’s that chainsaws belong in crotches apparently
This is still pretty dumb, but as long as the chainsaw’s clutch isn’t somehow stuck engaged, then just starting the saw won’t spin the blades
Seems kinda like pointing an “unloaded” gun at yourself.
For the purposes of safety, always assume the gun is loaded…and always assume a chains will be engaged.
A gas chainsaw has a centrifugal clutch, so if it was “stuck engaged” the chain would move with the starter cord. You’d know it before you gave it a real yank.
If you’re starting with the choke engaged, it’s possible the engine will idle at a speed high enough to engage the clutch and move the chain. 2-stroke engines aren’t real anyway, they’re bullshit wrapped in metal that works because the fossil fuel industry demands them to, so their behavior is entirely unpredictable and contrary to the operator’s needs.
“As long as the safety is off it isn’t really dangerous to give your kid a gun” 8 times out of 10 this will turn out fine, 1 times out of 10 you get a hole in your house, and 1 times out of 10 someone gets shot 🤷♂️
New bottom surgery just dropped
It’s not the only thing that dropped
That sounds like a prime opportunity for the fighter to make chainsaw noises and swing it around like a sword, potentially denting it. Tell the artificer player that it’ll take seconds to get it working in a pinch, but the character can be fixing it up for as long as they want to milk it.
so i thought the artificer was similar to pf2’s alchemist.
now it seems it’s closer to pf2’s inventor.
which one is it?!??Both. I’m not super familiar with it because by the time they got around to releasing an artificer I was already waning in my 5e interest, so I’m going largely on memory of early drafts (Unearthed Arcanas) and general cultural osmosis.
Different subclasses or builds have different focuses. There’s an alchemist subclass, a gunner subclass (like 2e’s gunslinger), and one more like the inventor.
