Flagstone flooring8/26/2023 ![]() ![]() 'It works best on smooth stones, with a fine, close surface texture. 'As I understand it, the casein in the milk forms a weak binder on the surface of the flagstones, giving them a slightly polished sheen, and keeping down dust,' he says. Milk.Īrchitect Neil Mackay, used skimmed milk to clean the 18th-century flagstones in his Oxfordshire cottage, pictured above. If you prefer to use a natural cleaner, there is one rather surprising household commodity that can be used to clean stone floors. These, and any other strongly acidic products, can damage the surface of the stone and dull its appearance. While cleaning with vinegar and cleaning with lemon juice are popular because they make use of pantry ingredients, in fact, a stone floor is one of the things not to clean with vinegar, and the same goes for lemon. You can do a quick test by dropping a little bit of water on the floor and seeing if it sits on the surface (as it should do) or starts to absorb into the floor (in which case it might be time to re-seal).' 'A stone floor will require re-sealing every few years to ensure maximum protection from stains. ![]() In any case, there shouldn’t be any need to scrub at spillages if you act in a timely fashion since the sealant will form a protective layer to the tiles,' he says. 'General household cleaning products may be too abrasive and can damage sealants, as can good old-fashioned scrubbing. He advises against using generic cleaning products to clean a stone floor, and even warns against using a scrubbing brush. These are formulated to be effective cleansers but also to be gentle on the sealants which are protecting the floor.' 'The floor can then be given a quick wash with a recommended, product-specific cleaning product. 'The best way to maintain a fully sealed stone floor is to sweep or vacuum it regularly to remove surface dirt,' adds Roby-Welford. Once the stone is sealed, spillages won’t permeate the surface and can simply be wiped away.’ How to clean a sealed stone floor 'A stone floor can actually even improve with the patina of age but it's really important to follow the product-specific recommendations when you’re installing stone. 'One of the key things to remember about natural stone is that it’s porous so sealing will protect it from stains and keep it looking its best for years to come.' 'Once your stone floor is clean, you should protect it from water and staining with a specialist stone floor sealer. Ideally, finish with either a specialist stone floor wax or - for a more durable surface on high foot traffic areas - a specialist protective coating.'Ĭolin Roby-Welford, creative director at Fired Earth agrees that a stone floor should be sealed to keep it looking good. 'If you're working with new stone,' says Morris. It's important to protect your stone, particularly in a high-traffic or area of high humidity. ![]()

Skyrim conjure army8/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Then you’re set! You’ll paralyze enemies every two arrows, refill your Soul Gem with each kill, and recharge your bow infinitely. Add Paralysis (1-5 Sec) + Fiery Soul Trap enchantments, then get yourself a Grand Soul Gem. Next, get yourself any bow (Daedric or any other powerful bow works best) and enchant it. You’ll need to get the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls and extract the Fiery Soul Trap Enchantment from it - the unique axe is found in the Ironbind Barrow. If you’re looking to play as a killer archer, you can make a near-perfect weapon of infinite paralysis with a single unique enchantment. Requirements: Stealth, Any Bow, Fiery Soul Trap Enchantment.The Vauldr’s Lucky Dagger bonus isn’t an enchantment, so you’ll always get +25% critical hit chances. If you’re an Orc with the Berserker Rage power active, that doubles to +圆0! And with Vauldr’s Lucky Dagger, you’ll always score Critical Hits. The Assassin’s Blade Perk + Shrouded Gauntlets give you a +x30 normal damage bonus to attacks with daggers. ![]() Get Vauldr’s Lucky Dagger from Moss Mother Cavern, Shrouded Gauntlets by joining the Dark Brotherhood or killing Dark Brotherhood assassins, and the Assassin’s Blade Perk from the Sneak skill tree. Want to kill everyone with a little knife? Just combine this weapon, armor, and perk. Requirements: Vauldr’s Lucky Dagger, Shrouded Gauntlet, Assassin’s Blade Perk, Sneak 50.Throwing goofy ragdolls around isn’t just fun. The fall damage will rip them apart, and most bosses are stuck in high-ceiling arenas. Instead of launching them at a wall, try launching enemies directly into the sky. Vampiric Grip allows you to force-choke an enemy, holding them mid-air then launching them. This becomes available once you level up to the second perk tier for Vampire Lords. ![]() To really get OP, you need to get creative - and that creativity comes in the form of the hilariously broken Vampiric Grip power. The Vampire Lord powers available in the Dawnguard expansion aren’t that impressive in the late-game.

Power to the monitor comes simply from your in-vehicle cigarette lighter. The camera itself comes attached to a sturdy bracket that can be adjusted at any angle to make installation as easy as possible.

Unarmed strike 5e one handed weapon8/26/2023 ![]() For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you havent already taken a bonus action this turn. Quickly glancing through the DMG magic items (which are horribly organized IMHO) I didn't see anything. Some may feel that this is either anticlimactic or too unrealistically weak, as fist fights between even untrained adults can easily be as lethal as a knife fight. Essentially he wants a +1 weapon, but just for his hands. The default unarmed strike is a simple 1 melee bludgeoning damage with no weapon traits. This guide to the Unarmed Strike 5E will tell you all you need to know about this ability. When you attempt to shove or grapple a creature, or make an attack against a creature with an unarmed strike or an improvised weapon wielded in one hand on your turn, you can use your bonus action to make an additional attack, grapple, or shove against the same creature. When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. 1 My monk player asked (reasonably) if there was any way he could get a magic item to boost his unarmed strike to-hit and damage like a magical weapon would. However, it’s not necessarily the best weapon in everyone’s arsenal. Padded armor should be 11 + dex for a 14 total but it looks like DnDBeyond doesn't detect that I no longer qualify for Unarmored Defense and still picks it as the better AC calculation. The Unarmed Strike in Dungeons & Dragons 5E is a weapon that every character can use. ![]() If the grapple is successful, that hand is now busy grappling. ![]() They have a 16 dex and a 14 wis so unarmored their AC is 15. 2 Answers Sorted by: 17 No, you can not use a 2-handed weapon to attack when grappling As you've noted, when you grapple, you must be: Using at least one free hand. Is your character wearing armor or wielding a shield?Įdit: With further testing I found that wearing Padded armor switched my attack and damage roles to using Strength but interestingly my AC remained the same. I just made a Monk and tested this and DnDBeyond is using my 16 dex for attack and damage rolls instead of my 8 strength. The unarmed fighting style in no way changes that unarmed strikes are not made with weapons, and that two weapon fighting requires strikes with weapons that have the light property (Thus unarmed strike do not qualify as they are not weapons, and certainly do not have the light property). But my spear is only getting a +2 and I'm only assuming that's because I went up a level because I tested by increasing the modifier on my dex and the attack modifier is not increasing on the spear. My strength has a -1 modifier while my dex has a +3. ![]() It's still using strength even though I dipped a level into monk. W hen you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1. If this is true, Why is my spear not using Dex modifier for the spear. Dnd 5e Offhand AttackInstead of using a weapon to make a melee weapon attack, you can use an unarmed strike: a punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful. Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in an opponents body. Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures ![]()

Folio investing interactive brokers8/26/2023 ![]() ![]() If you are planning on buying a lot of non-UK shares make sure you check that these are available through your platform and ensure that the trading fees aren’t too high.įund fees are charged by the owner of the fund, not the platform or broker which is looking after your ISA. Most providers charge different amounts for buying shares in foreign countries. Fund fees themselves are a separate category. Trading fees normally apply only to shares, unit trusts and ETFs, although some providers also charge for the buying and selling of open-ended funds. Other providers allow a certain number of free trades included in the ongoing custody fee - these might be appealing for regular traders. Most providers offer a cost per trade and some offer discounts if you make a certain number of trades in the preceding month. ![]() Trading fees are the amount you will have to pay to buy (and sometimes to sell) your individual investments. Trading Fees (alias: transaction fees, share dealing fees) If you have a large portfolio be wary of percentage fees as these can mount quickly with the size of your portfolio (even though a lot of providers offer tiered charges which reduce for big portfolios). These fees can either be charged as a percentage of your total holding, or a fixed subscription charged monthly or annually. The following is a comprehensive list of the fees that you will have to stomach in some form as you put your money to work in an ISA: Custody Fees (alias: annual, ongoing, fund or regular fees)Ĭustody fees are the amount the provider charges for holding your money in their account, whether it is invested in shares or funds. ![]() And then there are those which offer tiered pricing which makes comparison with other providers nigh on impossible. Some providers offer a fixed fee for looking after your money, others charge a percentage. What some providers might call an annual charge will be called a custody charge by someone else, while one provider’s transaction fee is another’s share dealing fee. Whether you are a new investor thinking about setting up an ISA account for the first time, or an experienced investor looking to switch providers in search of a better deal, there are many fees to be aware of.įrustratingly, there is no one language of fees. ![]() We’ll be providing examples of both full-service brokers and share-dealing platforms in this article. These providers offer simpler services, but often cheaper fees. This democratisation of investment has paved the way for a newer breed of investment service known as a share-dealing investment platform. Today, most brokers offer online services which allow for almost instantaneous transactions. Gone are the days when investors had to call up exclusive brokers to buy or sell their shares in transactions which might take several days to process. These providers have come a long way in the last few decades. To set up a Stocks and Shares ISA your first step is to choose a share dealing investment platform or full service broker. This article will focus on the Stocks and Shares ISA. Our full ISA guide provides more detail about the tax wrapper, including the different types of ISA account available to British savers. The only restriction is your £20,000 annual allowance. For now, there is no upper limit for how much you can save in an ISA. You can’t roll your ISA allowance over into a new tax year. An ISA is a tax-free savings account which means that money saved in an ISA account isn’t charged any income, capital gains, or dividend tax.Īll eligible ISA participants receive a £20,000 annual allowance which renews at the end of each tax year on 5 April. The ISA tax wrapper and how to use itįirst up, a brief reminder of the ISA basics. We’ll lay out the fees, discuss the positives and negatives and aim to indicate which type of investor might benefit from each platform. We’ll then go onto a more specific comparison of the platforms and brokers in the UK which offer ISAs. In the first half of this article, we’ll help you understand how to compare platforms, so you can make the right decision for yourself. It is also a very personal decision - you need to pick the platform which offers the cheapest fees and best service for your own requirements - which makes recommendations, reviews and price comparison pretty tricky.īut making the right choice is very important as fees can eat away at your returns. Wade too deeply into the world of price comparison and you can find yourself in a complicated tangle of calculations as you try to work out the cheapest option.
