Am I required to clear the use of class, race, or sub-race found in sources outside of the PHB with my DM?
I'm new to D&amp;D and am making my first character for a home game.  What should I discuss with my DM prior to my first game? And what do I need their permission for? Classes, races and sub-races I intend to choose? There is a lot of info in multiple sources; any word on what I have to to discuss with the DM?
"The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened" What is EV, when used as an absolute measurement? How do I wire two lights with a switch? The idea behind the sum of powers of 2 I know that the sum of power of $2$ is $2^{n+1}-1$, and I know the mathematical induction proof. But does anyone know how $2^{n+1}-1$ comes up in the first place.  For example, sum of n numbers is $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$. The idea is that we replicate the set and put it in a rectangle, hence we can do the trick. What is the logic behind the sum of power of $2$ formula? number of vertices in a self-complemntary graph Problem: Prove that the number of vertices of a self-complementary graph must be congruent to 0 or 1 modulo 4. I think my starting point would be that P4 and C5 are self-complementary and proceed by induction by adding P4s. I established the first step in a previous problem, but I need help on the induction step. i.e. proving that adjoining P4 will indeed yield a self-complementary graph. Showing that the sample mean and variance are independent by showing two distribution are the same Disable automatic screen turn-off during call How can I port forward with iptables? Showing that $\sqrt[3]{2}\notin\Bbb Q(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_k)$ where $\alpha_i^2\in\Bbb Q\ \forall i$ Let $F$ be the field $\Bbb Q(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_k)$ where  $\alpha_i^2\in\Bbb Q\ \forall i$  I want to show that $\sqrt[3]{2}\notin F$  I thought if $\sqrt[3]{2}\in F$ then $\sqrt[3]{2}\in\Bbb Q\cup(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_k)$ but this is not a disjoint union so I'm not sure what to do... taking the square of $\beta:=\sqrt[3]{2}$ gives $2^{2/3}=\sqrt[3]{4}\notin\Bbb Q$ but that doesn't really advance things  So I'm looking for a hint Are there any tools, methods, incantations to recover recently deleted files on Ubuntu?  If it makes any difference, I want to recover a  2.x database file. But would be better to have a method/tool that works on any kind of file. Why is unity feedback used? Let $R$ be the subring of $M_2(\mathbb{R})$ defined by $$R=\left\{\begin{pmatrix}a&amp;b\\0&amp;d\end{pmatrix}\mid a\in\mathbb{Q},b,d\in\mathbb{R}\right\}$$  Show that $R$ is right-Artinian but not left-Artinian.  The "obvious" approach to show it is not left-Artinian is to find an $A\in R$ such that $$RA\supset R(A^2)\supset R(A^3)\supset\dots$$  is an infinite decreasing chain of proper left submodules of $R$ (as a module over itself). However, after spending a lot of time in this endeavor I've come to the conclusion that no such element $A$ exists (I can post a proof if anybody is interested but it'd be long and not worth the time for me otherwise). Does anybody have an idea for another approach I can take to this? I have no idea what else submodules of $R$ would look like. Prevent Mac Terminal from reverting to default theme I can't find any way to change the Terminal theme and have that theme applied permanently.  I want to change to another darker theme other than the default 'basic' theme, and (most importantly) have it remain as the theme every time I open Terminal. Empty Disk when trying to install dual-boot system I recently purchased an SSD to speed up my computer experience. Before, I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu in a dual-boot system. The plan was to install Windows 8 on the SSD and then set aside ~30GB for the system files of Ubuntu.  I installed Windows 8 just fine on the SSD, then I booted the Ubuntu install CD to make my partitions like always - but GParted tells me the entire SSD is unallocated. Now I am afraid I will lose my Windows installation if I try to do anything to it.  Why does GParted think there is no partition on the SSD? Shouldn't it be 4 Partitions, like the Windows installer told me?  And is it possible to ignore this and install Ubuntu on the hard disk (where it, frankly, already is) and somehow make it possible to install GRUB on the SSD to revert my dual-boot system without damaging the installed Win8? How to show that this group presentation is isomorphic to dihedral group? The group with the presentation $\langle a, b \mid a^2, b^2, (ab)^4\rangle$ seems like a dihedral group of order 8. But I fail to explain why. Could anyone show me how to prove it? What is a serialVersionUID and why should I use it? Eclipse issues warnings when a serialVersionUID is missing.       The serializable class Foo does not declare a static final   serialVersionUID field of type long   What is serialVersionUID and why is it important?  Please show an example where missing serialVersionUID will cause a problem. sftp: upload all files, directories and sub-directories contained in a folder On machine A I have the folder /home/a/  On machine B I have the folder /home/b/  I wish transfer all files, directories and sub-directories of /home/a in /home/b with sftp On machine A I tried the commands: sftp fibon82@machineB.com put /home/a/* /home/b/  but it doesn't work, i get the error message: &quot;skipping non-regular file /home/a/a1&quot;... [a1 is a sub-directory of a] How could I modify the put instruction? Thanks! :) EDIT: I solved using scp: scp -r /home/a/ fibon82@machineB.com:/home/b/ Undecidable language problems. I was doing a package removal with apt-get remove but then realized I should have done a --purge along with it to remove the configuration files.  Can I remove the packages configuration files easily or do I need to reinstall the package and then remove with a --purge? What is a session 0? What is a "Session 0"?   When is it done? What does it contain? Is it recommended, if not mandatory? What is each person's role (DM/GM, players, etc.)? What topics are best discussed there?   Usually with my groups, we go directly to the meat of the game right after the character creation, but I see a lot of answers that basically say "you should have a session 0", but it's never explained what it is made of, so it's kind of an enigma for me.
