You know, I'd like to see a video on the science of Giorno Giovanna's stand.

Giorno Giovanna, a character from the popular anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, has an ability that allows him to "give life" to inanimate objects. While I'm aware it's pure fiction, I think It would be cool to see if it was even possible. That would be an awesome theory to see.

Duchess von D's Clandestine RC Chemistry Monograph Series: von D-allylation of Naloxone to Oxymorphone - Vinyl for Your Veins: Bringing out the Narcotic in Narcan - The High-Efficiency Conversion of Naloxone into Noroxymorphone - Essential Euphoricopeia of the Γ©galitarisme chimique: Phenomorphone

Duchess von D's Clandestine Opioid Chemistry Monograph Series:

For those of you curious about the misceallneous, little-loved, lonely, insane, strange and unusual opioids out there, I recommend Duchess von D's Chemical Monograph Series. I'm going to provide links to the monographs below for you all to view. You can also find my growing monograph collection (based on my 15 years of experience in the clandestine chemistry field) via my username: u/DuchessVonD

Even for the non-chemist on this sub, it will give many of you an idea of what goes on during the process of selecting analogues to pursue in the Research Chemical field and a bit about the bizarre off-color and off-the-cuff ideas that go through the head of a research chemist by day, clandestine chemist by night. For those who lack a sense of humor and lack sarcasm and appreciation for flippant sarcastic banter, you may not enjoy my monographs that much. They are far from cut and dry musings of experimental procedure and strictly lab-based chemistry. There is a lot of social commentary, history, literature review, pharmacology, as well as a phat bong rip of chemistry. I must admit that most of the stuff that goes through my head during my free time has little to do with chemistry, sometimes it gets a little "colorful" especially for a little Jewish Jersey girl like me. [check out my Poetry-Dope Rhymes section below for more details]

There's something for everyone [interested in opioid research chemicals that is, but I will hit upon methaqualone analogues as well as benzodiazepines and have a discussion on 4-methylaminorex in my monographs]. Or there will be in the coming weeks and months as I have time to summarize my decade and a half long work in this arena and format these notes/commentary into my trademark-style of monographs. I try to focus on the unusual Opioid X-Files: mostly legal analogues, consisting of the good, the bad, and the ugly of the lesser known alleyways of the opioid class. Some are legitimately wonderful and euphoric. Most notable of these uniquely Duchess explorations is the revival of two old school Janssen opioids:

(a) the ethyl ketone of despropionyl-beztramide (Etodezitramide)

(b) And the highly euphoric N,N-Dimethyl analogue of dextromoramide/racemoramide known as Dimethylmoramide.

In my latest monograph addition I describe my experience synthesizing and commentary on the pharmacology of **phenomorpho

My personal take on recreating the fluff and abilities of Giorno Giovanna from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Part 5: Golden Wind in D&D 5e

I've been playing around with the idea of building stand users in DND, but none have really worked out or quite matched up to the image I had in my head. The only one I'm relatively proud of is Giorno Giovanna, which is what I'm going to present here today.

Fair warning, you will need to flavour quite a few things for it to really work, but I think the spirit of it is there. There will also be a lot of 'leftover' abilities that aren't quite Giorno, but they aren't outlandish enough to not not be Giorno.

The goals we will be reaching today comprises of the following

  • We need to account for Giorno's life as a conman/pickpocket.

  • His personality and role in Bruno's group as someone who supports and inspires everyone.

  • And of course, his Gold Experience stand, whose abilities we want to replicate as well as we can. Those include

Life-Giver: His ability to convert inanimate objects into animals and plants. We will mostly be reflavouring conjuration spells and abilities for this.

Flesh and Organ Creation: Using the above ability to create body parts and heal wounds. Healing spells and abilities will cover this.

Life Sensor: The ability to sense lifeforms nearby. There are spells that can handle this too.

We will not be able to factor minor abilities like enhancing the senses of people he punches, cloning, or damage reflection. We will also not be able to perfectly recreate Gold Experience Requiem, because that is an ability more suited to a BBEG and completely out of the question.

With all that said, let us proceed.


Character Creation

Race: Protector Aasimar

Flavour-wise, it (kind of) represents how Giorno is more than he seems. Mechanically, Healing Hands helps to give Giorno a backup means of healing people. Radiant Soul can be flavoured as him attacking with Gold Experience punches.

Background: Urchin. I think this is self-evident.

Classes: Rogue (Scout) 4/Cleric (Life) 2/Druid (Shepherd) 14

You want to start with Rogue, as that's how Giorno started out. Everything else can be taken whenever you wish, but try to max out Rogue first, while also dipping into the other two early. Only when Rogue and Cleric are maxed out do you add more than 3 levels into Druid. I believe this most accurately represents the growth of his abilities over the story of Golden Wind.

Skills: Stealth and Sleight of Hand from the Urchin background. Deception, Insight, Investigation and Perception at the first level of Rogue. Ex

[EVENT] Let my children enjoy the fruits as I enjoyed the fruits planted by my father!

Over the years of his inhabitance and rule, King Gaston had found that his Kingdom was much like his home in the south of France in climate: Hot and dry in the summer, mild and wet in the winter. According to his treasured Queen, it was closer in temperature to that of the hills and mountains of the Spains - a warm temperance that graced the peaks and rocks, and the rich red and black soils, but wetter on account of the sea breeze.

It was perfect, they had both considered, for growing the sorts of plants and fruits that they enjoyed in their homelands. The succulent soft fruits that spoil in the cold, that here, grew like weeds.

An idea grew in Gaston's mind - whilst the Spanish had plenty of their own to enjoy, his French Peers were not so uniformly blessed with such wonderful weather, or its bounties. It would be a ripe market for such things to be sold, as a luxury of course. It would need to be something emblematic of Naples, as to be sought after from the Kingdom itself - to carry with it a sentimental value to the keep the City of Blood in the minds of his peers.

It would need to survive the trip as well - something with a tough skin, and some longevity, which narrowed things down considerably. Oranges, and other citrus fruits were ideal to this end - but such a venture would take time. Even as the concept took root, it would take time for Crown-owned orchards to grow and mature, for them to bear yields to be exported.

The matter of import, was well, import. It was well and good to have goods to send to France, but without a sufficiently equipped destination, they would rot in the hulls. For Gaston, his county of Narbonne was an obvious, if flawed, choice. The city had once accessed the sea through its lagoon, but recent movements of water and earth had seen such a thing become impossible.

Impossible without sufficient work to dredge channels and other clearings to allow the free passage of ships once more. This could scarcely be afforded by the former Viscount of Narbonne but the King's coffers were far richer, and able to afford to rejuvenate the place from which he grew.
