  • I hate spell components if they’re not part of the plot, so we don’t use them in the game. If a spell lists no value, just assume you pull a pinch of something out of somewhere, and if you’re stripped, you no longer have it. If a spell lists a value that’s less than half a percent of your wealth, I see above.

    The only time I care is when it’s something super specific or expensive. Like “a hair from the target” or “1000gp worth of [thing]”.


  • you now know that they are willing to abandon anyone they claim to protect.

    I don’t think you feel irony here for anyone who is, say, LGBTQ, PoC, Ukranianian, Female or poor.

    You should now know that their words are meaningless

    Well… That could immediately be applied to anyone who helps get conservatives elected as well, wouldn’t you say? Only to a much greater degree, since the people hurt are much more numerous.

    “Unlike Kamala, I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. They have to win! And instead of pandering to the Jihad sympathizers and America-hating radicals, we will deport them.”

    But yeah no, this will definitely improve things.





  • Take for example sayings like “my cross to bear” and “good Samaritan”. Those are both from the bible, but they’re oblique references to saying that require a LOT of explanation themselves, but they’re so ingrained you can just reference the full saying to get the message across.

    If I were to say, reference “one thing which never dies”, pretty much everyone would be guessing at the meaning. Basically nobody knows it’s a reference to a saying about the reputation people leave behind after death, based on the Norse Edda’s.

    The lesson seems to be that how people know you is the most important thing in life, beyond family and your life. And that explanation doesn’t cover it, because none of us have the correct cultural background to interpret it. (If you happen to be a scholar, I’ll happily be corrected).
