🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation.
If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc.
We got 3 days to stop this. Call now!

![Rock Candy
ITEM 4
Consumable, Magical
Price 19 gp
Usage held in 1 hand
Activate [2] (manipulate)
A common confection to many, rock candy has come to mean crystallized sugar that has been bound to a common wooden dowel. Initially meant for consumption by wide-eyed children, it has become a treat that many enjoy well into adulthood. This rock candy though has an odd appearance, instead of the typical brightly colored sugar crystals, the surface is covered in granite-like rocks that look as though they would be difficult to bite through. Regardless of this appearance, the candy is sweet to the tongue and is able to be consumed just as easily as its non-magical cohorts.
When activated, your skin tightens and hardens, turning a dark grey color. You gain resistance 5 to physical damage except adamantine for the next 20 minutes. Each time you are hit by a bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing attack, this effect’s duration decreases by 1 minute. Additionally, while this effect is active, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Hide actions made to conceal yourself amongst stone and rocks.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreia3bt7lkkscxhl5ofzukj4stk26booe6b5dws7kzqxugnemouyaoq@jpeg)

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
