Yes? That’s why I asked for accounts so I could try to understand?

Try engaging with people without looking for “gotchas”.

How do they look and act even somewhat like children? That’s a bad take

I need to see some accounts of this, the reasoning behind this. Because it is unfathomable.

Bruce Wayne is a billionaire philanthropist, but I’ll give you Peter Parker in the timelines where he’s not working on the cutting edge as a scientist.

The question isn’t “why would they have rumours?” but “why would the party be privy to them?” If you’re famous, these rumours float around by themselves but why would the party be asking about the other members? Again, unless they were somewhat famous or already knew each other.

The sticking point is the word “rumour” or “dirt”. Rumours are thinking that build up slowly, like dust in a corner. It almost sounds like you’re saying players should form impressions of the other party members which…yeah, that should happen when they get described.

I would say they are closer to clerics both mechanically (with the spectrum of martial to magical subclasses) and flavorwise

Only really fits settings where PCs are somewhat famous, at least on a town-level, or already somewhat know each other. If the party starts not knowing each other, why would they have heard any rumours about these other randos?

Interesting.

I’m not really looking to get into fantasy legal dispute, but I will say that you are debating the count without even touching the core of what I said: the terms of the sentencing. Being sentenced to death is like being sent to prison. If you step in and then juke out, you can’t say “prison sentence over”.

We don’t specify term limits here because it’s typically not a place you come back from.

And what’s the DC? That doesn’t seem to affect the actual issue of how values are scaled.

The punishment is a sentence of death. Not “being killed”. You are to be placed in the state of death for the crime. That’s why you don’t get to walk away if a lethal method fails. You can keep reviving them, but they’ll be incarcerated and killed again until it sticks. And I’ll put the rest of the party in contempt of court for attempting to subjorn lawful punishment.

It’s got a volume restriction iirc. Like 3ft cube

Yeah, it’s deranged. You didn’t spit out or wipe your mouth? You have another human’s meat and blood in your mouth and you just casually went with them to hospital like you’re wearing lipstick?

I’m not buying it.

Absolutely baffled by all the comments on that blog that are agreeing with that post. They’ve really honed in on their audience. Or they’re wasting a lot of time on alt accounts

Thank you. I’d forgotten that uBlock had the zapper function
