Another article with less Paywall BS

This is straight up horrible. LOL, party goes on a mission to obtain a cure for petrification to save a bunch of statues only to discover that they are all a bunch of corpses because the villain is just that big of an asshole.

I hate DMing for players smarter than me 🤬🤗

But… how do you kill that which has no life?

It’s like this for all TTRPGs. Someone always be tryin to game the system. 😎

Yes you are. You’re intentionally abusing a weakness in English language (present and future tense are often written the same way so must be inferred by context) to assume something clearly not intended by the 2 sentences considered holistically.

It’s a funny joke. +1, but, ain’t no DM takin dis Hail Mary from a player seriously. 😂

If the creature dies it can be restored to life only by means of…

You’re misreading the language. It is present-tense, not future.

A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except magic items, are reduced to a pile of fine gray dust. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.

Why would you need to be “restored to life” if you weren’t dead?

Get a dog. It’ll absorb much of the free time that YouTube used to waste, but in a far more rewarding manner.

Is this just the way of the world or something to avoid?

IMO it is both, but I am more concerned about privacy than most seem to be.

At a very basic level I’ll boil it down to this:

90% of all the companies you have or will deal with (especially your employers), your (and enemy) governments, the police, and even society (you can get away with a lot of BS in a fancy suit unless people discover you’re broke AF for example) all find your personal information extremely valuable. So much so that there are obvious dollar signs attached to this meaning. Do you in general really want to give this away for free or very underpriced?

That is just the universal concern over personal privacy. Now, consider the situation of anyone that wants or needs to keep things private for any reason (legitimate or otherwise). Reveal anything of this sort and their life could be in danger (ie: being gay or trans in some Radical Islamic country, pro-Ukraine in russia, etc…). In a world where data collecting is so pervasive and invasive that companies know your daughter is pregnant before you do, and the information obtained is available to ANYONE able to pay, this is terrifying.

Exactly because it is so pervasive and invasive is why I get your frustration. This really needs to be a much greater political issue but this is discouraged because the government wants your data too.
