Seems like stopping access to porn in general is the aim. This is just the excuse

Wait, you’re telling me that privateers don’t just grow into the hulls of their ships like Bill Turner?

After reading the article it seems likely this is still the case. They said operating system links still open in edge even when you have another browser configured, so Microsoft is still putting Edge in a privileged position. I guess we just have to wait and see how privileged it ends up being.

Hmm, interesting build. Did the player ever run into trouble with AoE saves? I feel like a Con save with no to-hit roll would be the Achilles heel there

This concept goes so well in a spelljammer like setting. Imagine the Laughing Beholder with large Luigi doing this. “Okay, what sphere are you from again? Okay, next I need your planet, then your species, then your age.”

EDIT:

Noncombat or low combat adventure idea that just came to me based on this. A group of grifters has conned Large Luigi or your version of this bar owner by posing as an interplanetary or interplanes alcohol enforcement agency. They pulled a fake sting and made off with something precious of the innkeepers as a fine. The party either hears this from the barkeep when they order or from the other patrons who are fed-up with the arcane ID system and long waits on drinks. Only recovering the fine or capturing the grifters can the situation be set right.

Our DM had us name ourselves in order to enter a plot relevant tournament. Of course being the gamers we are we immediately settled on a lazy play on the title of the adventure

I feel a good rule of thumb is

1. Normal Action -> No roll
2. Normal Action + Complication -> Take 20
3. Normal Action + Complication + time pressure -> Roll a check
