I mean, he’s got like, a 26 charisma.

Rick O’Connell has as 26 charisma, Brendan Fraser auto-succeeds at charisma checks of all kinds.

This movie is so damn good.

I don’t get the DCs and “success/fail” in this context, can someone explain? Where would a 5 be a success and 20 be a failure?

The DC to convince the hangman is 5, the DC to convince the head guy is 20. DC stands for Difficulty Check and it is the number you have to pass or meet on your roll + bonuses.

So is the joke that the PC convinced the hangman (who only needed a 5), hence the “success”, but failed to convince the leader (who needed a 20), hence the confused guy reading “failure”?

I didn’t know that the second guy was supposed to be the leader, that would’ve made more sense. Thanks

Makes sense if you’ve seen the movie

Ooh I’m jealous you get to watch this movie for the first time.

What movie? It looks intriguing…

The Mummy with Braden Fraser. It’s technically a trilogy, but the third one is awful.

Edit: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0120616/

Not to be confused with The Mummy with Tom Cruise. I haven’t watched that one, but…it didn’t look good.

Haha, exactly why I added the link!

Wait… are those movies not the same universe? I haven’t seen either.

What movie is it, if you don’t mind sharing? I feel like I know it, and it’s on the tip of my tongue, but I’m blanking. My brain is embarrassing haha

The Godfather effect dictates that a trilogy often has no third movie.

No, the Tom Cruise one was a reboot as part of universals Monsters Universe idea, but it bombed so bad they killed the whole idea.

You can see remnants of their original plan in the Frankenstein ride at Epic Universe in Orlando. Basically the idea was Frankensteins daughter trying to collect/contain all the monsters for her own purposes.

Which is…?

a collection of still images played at a constant framerate and paired with audio matching what is shown, usually for entertainment purposes

Surely you can’t be serious!
