Reviving someone who died due to a reduction of his maximum hit points Some creatures, such as the Specter (MM, p. 279), have a feature that reduces a victims maximum hit points:     Life Drain. Melee Spell Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. , one   creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target must   succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or its hit point   maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken.   This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The   target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.   Say someone dies from this effect, and his/her companions want to revive the victim. What would, therefore, happen if they tried this with a spell such as Revivify, Raise Dead or Resurrection, neither of which mention a removal of such an effect? (True Resurrection would remove the effects, but that's a 9th level spell. Dying from max hit point reduction when you have access to level 9 spells seems unlikely).  Raise Dead in particular states:     This spell doesn’t, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren’t first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life.   Hit points can only assume a value between  0 and the maximum value (PHB, p. 196).  Would a creature with 0 maximum hit points that is revived therefore return with 0 hit points - alive, but unconscious? Or is it impossible to revive the creature?
Can Raise Dead revive a character with zero maximum Hit Points? So, a character died from Draining Kiss of a succubus and his Max HP is 0. Can he be restored by Raise Dead, or does he need a higher level spell? Or a Greater Restoration cast on his lifeless body before Raise dead? I'm probably interested in RAW interpretation, since the character is in Adventurerer's league.
Centering sections Find $\lim \limits_{n \to \infty}{1*4*7*\dots(3n+1) \over 2*5*8* \dots (3n+2)}$ I am trying to find  $$\lim \limits_{n \to \infty}{1*4*7*\dots(3n+1) \over 2*5*8* \dots (3n+2)}$$  My first guess is to look at the reciprocal and isolate factors:  $${2 \over 1}{5 \over 4}{8 \over 7} \dots {3n+2 \over 3n+1}= {\left(1+1\right)}\left(1+{1 \over 4}\right)\left(1+{1 \over 7}\right) \dots \left(1+{1 \over 3n+1}\right)$$ Now we take the natural log: $$\ln{ + \ln\left(1+1\right)} + \ln\left(1+{1 \over 4}\right) +\ln\left(1+{1 \over 7}\right) \dots +\ln\left(1+{1 \over 3n+1}\right)$$ Using $\ln(1+x) \le x$, we get: $$\ln{ + \ln\left(1+1\right)} + \ln\left(1+{1 \over 4}\right) +\ln\left(1+{1 \over 7}\right) \dots +\ln\left(1+{1 \over 3n+1}\right) \le 1 + {1 \over 4} + {1 \over 7} + \dots + {1 \over 3n+1}$$ Now, I'm stuck. I suppose I might use the fact that the RHS is similar to the harmonic series and show that it converges to some log, but I'm not sure how to do that. Do you have any clues? Is $n^{th}$ root of $2$ an irrational number? Possible Duplicate:          Will every $n^{th}$ root of $2$ be an irrational number? If yes, how can I prove that? Proof that if $p\equiv3\,\left(\mbox{mod 4}\right)$ then $p$ can't be written as a sum of two squares I'd appreciate your help showing that if $p\equiv3\,\left(\mbox{mod 4}\right)$   then p can't be written as a sum of two squares.  Thanks! Is there any truth to the idea that you shouldn't multiply seasonings when multiplying a recipe? I often hear cooks discuss that idea that if you are multiplying, say, a recipe for 4 to be a for 32, that you shouldn't multiply some herbs, spices, or salt. I've never understood any reason why this should be true. Maybe something to do with surface area to volume ratios, or cooking times? Does anyone have a real explanation, or is this nonsense? Partitions for Ubuntu and Windows 7 dual boot on SSD + HDD setup The times they are a-changin' I'm a 16-year-old male, and I have been interested in tabletop RPGs for a long time, especially D&amp;D. I sorta dove into D&amp;D really fast and hard by buying the Red box, Dungeon Master Kit, Monsters Vault, Players Handbook, Rules book, and even the Shadowfell Campaign not quite knowing what I'd get myself into. I've done tooonnsss of research and even watched live games on Youtube.   For the most part, I'm basically on my own, My friends are somewhat interested in it and want to play, but expect me to Teach/Dungeon Master the game for them, I'd really wish to do this, but need more insight and expertise. I've played the solo Campaign in the Red box and even thought about joining a local group from a popular gaming store in Phoenix, AZ called Imperial Outpost. But I'm not sure if they would take a newbie like myself. Any advice? How to make my own Dropbox / Ubuntu One server at home? Does anybody know of any resources that can show me how to make my own "Dropbox, Ubuntu One" server at home?  I really like the idea of these services, but I don't want to put my 'stuff' in the clouds. Ideally, it should have a client that runs on Linux and Windows.  I tried to setup iFolder on my Ubuntu 10.04, but without any success so far. (clickable)  Mainad has a valid height and width, however it isn't shown like subad1/subad2. Which are in essence exactly the same! (just a different background image).  Firebug shows my div as greyed out for some weird reason. Replacing the contents of mainad with just some text doesn't solve the problem (problem isn't related to inner elements)..   What's going on?! :( I can't seem to get Python to import a module in a subfolder. I get the error when I try to create an instance of the class from the imported module, but the import itself succeeds. Here is my directory structure:  Server     -server.py     -Models         --user.py   Here's the contents of server.py:  from sys import path from os import getcwd path.append(getcwd() + "\\models") #Yes, i'm on windows print path import user  u=user.User() #error on this line   And user.py:  class User(Entity):     using_options(tablename='users')      username = Field(String(15))     password = Field(String(64))     email    = Field(String(50))     status   = Field(Integer)     created  = Field(DateTime)   The error is: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'User' Is a path the set of points from a to b?  And is the stroke the "definition" (i.e. the color, shape, etc.) of the path?  And, how can you have a path with no stroke?  Is this only because it is a computer drawing program?  In the real world you can't have a path without a stroke can you?  If it matters, I am using Inkscape. I would like to show that  $$\forall n\in\mathbb{N}^*, \quad \sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}}\notin  \mathbb{Q}$$  I'm interested in more ways of proofing this.  My method :  suppose that $\sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}}\in  \mathbb{Q}$ then there exist $(p,q)\in\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{N}^*$ such that $\sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}}=\frac{p}{q}$ thus   $$\dfrac{n}{n+1}=\dfrac{p^2}{q^2} \implies nq^2=(n+1)p^2 \implies n(q^2-p^2)=p^2$$ since $p\neq q\implies p^2\neq q^2$ then  $$n=\dfrac{p^2}{(q^2-p^2)}$$  since $n\in \mathbb{N}^*$ then $n\in  \mathbb{Q}$   I'm stuck here and I would like to see different ways to prove $\sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}}\notin  \mathbb{Q}$ How to change background and maintain realistic effect? I have like 30 different photos to process like this, but I want to know key things to maintain realistic photo by changing it's background, or maybe just modify background so it would be more pleasing to eye.(If you know tutorial related to my problem, please do provide it to me)  Here is the photo:   Here is my step 2:   Here is background:   Here is the result:   As you can see, it isn't any close to realistic feel.

First try:   Second try:   Update  Different background: Copying applications from applications folder to external and reinstalling osx Is it possible to copy all my applications from the applications folder onto an external, format my mac, reinstall OS X and finally copy the applications back into the applications folder for installing them?  Will that work? I am asking because my macbook seems to be behaving in a very odd manner, has become excessively sluggish and is preventing me from recording anything in logic.. I have tried the usual freeing up space, clean desktop, fixing permissions, verifying and repairing disk as well as resetting pram and making sure I have all the latest software and firmware updates. The macbook is only 8 months old and is running Lion with 8gb of ram, I really cannot understand what is wrong with it. Even when trying to watch a movie, the player will get serious audio/video synchronisation issues and I noticed that every time my wifi is on the fans speed up like a plane taking off. I even checked and it is clean from any dust. I am perplexed :(   If anyone could help me please, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks in advance! At work we have a Domain Controller running Server 2008 R2. Our desktop support group has the ability to join computers to the domain using their network credentials. We are now running into a problem where if the name of the computer that is being joined is the same as an existing computer on the domain, the existing computer will get a "The trust relationship has failed..." error and will not authenticate at all unless someone logs in as a local admin, changes the computer name and rejoins it to the domain.  I want to make it so that Desktop Support can only join computers with unique names to the domain. If the name already exists on the domain the operation should fail. Looking through TechNet it looks like this functionality exists but I can't seem to find out how to enable it.  Any ideas? "To like for somebody/something to be something" vs. "to like somebody/something to be something" I'm building a child theme and it currently has a very simple &lt;head&gt; section in header.php:  &lt;head&gt;   &lt;meta charset="&lt;?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?&gt;"&gt;   &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1"&gt;   &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;   &lt;link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"&gt;   &lt;link rel="pingback" href="&lt;?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?&gt;"&gt;   &lt;!--[if lt IE 9]&gt;   &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?&gt;/js/html5shiv.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;   &lt;![endif]--&gt;    &lt;?php wp_head(); ?&gt; &lt;/head&gt;   I'm guessing wp_head() is responsible for the second &lt;title&gt; element (it appears just there in the final HTML), but other things I've read say this is impossible.  Should I be removing the &lt;title&gt; from my header.php, or should I be adding something to my functions to remove the title from wp_head() (eg. remove_action('wp_head', 'title') ?  Or should I be doing something else altogether? How to permanently switch Caps Lock and Esc How can I permanently switch the Caps Lock and Esc key functions in Saucy? I can use this command to do it temporarily (until reboot):  /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "caps:swapescape"   I tried adding that command as a Startup Application, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
