Weren't you just taking about the "exploitable" rules in this post right here >>187276

I'm only correcting you because what you're about to do threatens to blow up the entire plane.

Yes, your opinion has been noted. Yes, it is technically "according to published material" more correct.
As I have and will continue to do so, displayed that the generality of the published.material is insufficient, less than well resourced, and subject to refinement, I have faith in GM to adjudicate fairly, including if he decides that whoopsie game over for Brie. If you have any more comments about it, please forward them to GM.
And if youre GM playkng possum (doubtful), then I think this is the most reasonable way I could manage this.

After all, the torpedo was Silver's idea

Let me explain further why I am confident in GM. I have detailed pages of plans and aspirations for Brie, Lacey, other characters, for missions and game sessions. He knows I am committed to making the game fun for everyone, inasmuch as I can.
And in that the torpedo was another player's idea that I as a player was trying to make amends with, I do very much doubt he will blow Brie's face off.

And, that you want to see it happen anyway is also noted. This is my final post on the matter ^_^

And for clarification, pages of aspirations and intentions are NOT intended to validate or justify ANYTHING. GM has learned to reveal nothing and comment little.
Having said, what I mean to emphasize is that,... well gosh darn it I didnt think that going with Silver's idea (admitting taking a 20 was on me, but I'll re-emphasize my "20 minutes not 20 rounds, taking a 10 until its a high enough roll?" idea right now. K.
Point being, I am not in the habit of accidentally blowing up my characters, and I wouldnt have even bothered with the torpedo at all without concincing. Im especially not in the habit of doing so when planning years worth of aspirations that simply aren't *possible* without his survival. Sure you could say my bad, and if GM does I'll take it. But how about we stop trying to cite rules to get eachother killed maybe?

I don't believe you understand the broader balance implications of removing the limitations for taking 20 on skill checks.

You may be right, and allow me to emphasize A. It's not something I would ever have done outside of these circumstances, specitic to context both in-game and out. B. Its ABSOLUTELY not something I would entertain EVER with an explosive, appreciating the e3.5 specifics. Without intending to excuse fault, this isnt the first time that previous/later edition concepts have led me awry. Taking a 20 USED to be the skill check equivalent of a ritual cast spell, where even if you dont have a slot you can cast it. THATS what I meant when I said taking a 20, fully expecting 20 minutes from the outset, cuz you sacrifice time for finesse.
C. Im vociferously against the rule being interpreted as I have attempted to going forward and am REALLY (i mean reeeeeeealllyy) at GM's mercy on this one

But while reemphasizing this, I will make playfull illiterations about how you MIGHT say that Brie is facefirst with a giant pile of "Does GM want to ruin my day, and potentially everyone else's?", which I have been going to great (dude) lengths to ensure that even if Im not playing right now, I'm seeking that his answer to that question is "No".
So while GM may want to explode all over Brie's face, this is not the correct context.

[I]And I am quite confident that GM will recognize this as an ILL intended consequence (unlike the time Rosey deliberatrly out the crown on) of a good faith attempt to enable other players to make their own plans and tactics, and your incessant insistance that this blow up in everyone's face could not be more apparent.
Tl;dr. I get it, it was a poor decision. I know it, he knows it, you know it. End of fucking story.

It's not set in stone, and ignorance of this rule is reason enough to retcon the action. Brie could instead take 10, or if that won't cut it past the check then he could just stop before accidentally blowing himself up.

Or we could just decide that the rest of us are away from the plane while he disarms the bomb, which is what we should do anyway because we don't even know what the skill DC is yet.

Well, the implications of a failed check don't begin until the check is complete, and it should take at least a few minutes to make the check, so the rest of us have time to leave.

This
It would be like if I cast Lesser Planar Ally (takes 10 minutes to cast), but then I found out before the ally appeared that I don't actually know the spell lesser planar ally, so in that case the results of the spell wouldn't be revealed and we just wouldn't know what creature the deity sends because it didn't happen.

Debatable. She may be familiar with the bombs in a conceptual sense, but you'd likely have to make a case (or a knowledge check) for her knowledge of state-of-the-art military-grade weaponry

Meanwhile, Brie sometimes smuggles these, and would know inherently whether or not he could even attempt to extract the torpedo's explosives, whichnis yet another layer to my faith

Part of Posey's mission is surveying and analyzing the military capabilities of this continent to form magical countermeasures to conquer it. She knows a bomb when she sees one.

>would know inherently
Do you have ranks in the relevant knowledge skill? If not, you would know just as much as I do. There is no reason why I should have to roll a check if you don't

She's been preparing for this mission for literal decades, studying and making petitions to earn the privilege of being the one responsible with conquering Equestria, in addition to her prior military service on the Arcturian front.
Posey using archaic weapons like swords and bows is an ideological choice, not from lack of familiarity with modern weapons.

Disable Device is not a knowledge skill.

>That is one of the few thing I know that will cheer him up. There has been a dearth of it in the game lately, and I don't think it's a coincidence.
The game had one instance of sex in 2024, and only one: Silver and Jubilosa, some time around July. There was one and only one instance in 2023, Posey and August around about October. In 2022, the last instance of sex for Silver before 2024 was around March. The final instance of sex with Amber was in the January of 2022 - three years ago. Dark Star’s last instance was in 2021.

Lacey of the Row family is not your ordinary girl, and not just cuz her family has those funny eyes. Theres a steeped tradition going back several hundred years, if there ever is cause to go to that level of detail.
For now, rest with the knowledge that she is technically speaking, the sole and exclusive heir to a traditional family of bats who have generationally been involved in balck market shenanigen and chicanery.

Back to (flashback) present. When Brie was pfficially INTRODUCED to Lacey, that happened a few werks later, when a rivals organization decided it would be an apt business move yo try and kidnap the sole heir of the Row family.
