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 that

Leaving it blue, but my imagination may have already made that too late.

The good ol’ days, where men were men, and women… needed chainsaws during childbirth.

“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 ‍️

Horrific, thanks

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?!??

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.

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.

Makes me wish there was an English word for “Schadenfreude”
