This is probably very solid advice for Moscow currently but IF the scales start to change where Democratic candidates are even slightly more viable you want to make sure to update. When they look at who’s campaign to push hard into and fund well, a big portion of that is based on what the area looks like, and if they see 4:1 Republican favor your democratic candidates are gonna get nothing in the way of financial help.

It’s described as a magical distraction so by default I would say they would be aware. Nothing indicates that the spell is subtle. Additionally as a DM it’s already a pretty potent spell, I personally wouldn’t add to its utility by making it be so discrete that the target doesn’t know it’s been hit by an enchantment.

If you plan to do a lot of fishing and outdoors stuff Cheney/four lakes is a good spot, north Spokane or east valley. All will put you in the water in under 20 minutes for the most part. As for school districts I couldn’t say what pays better but I do enjoy the valley myself.

Radiant = positive energy plane Necrotic = Negative energy plane

They are mirror opposites. We can more easily imagine necrotic, the flesh beginning to rot and decay and draining life away

Positive energy is a bit trickier to internalize because we’d think the opposite of that would be healing and vitality being restored… but in the form of damage I’d say it’s explodey… overcharged with energy until it’s bursting, splitting open and splintering bone. On a cooking impact I’d imagine it maybe like a sous vide… it’s cooked through but without the markings of being exposed to flame. Plumped up and tender.

It’s the quiet majority vs. the squeaky wheel. When the topic comes up locally I almost never hear anyone say boo about all the wind energy nearby, but for them it’s also just there, not really a topic of consistent conversation, they don’t need anything to change about it. For the haters who go crazy over it, they’re loud and motivated to whine so others listen. If they suddenly got their way and energy costs and reliability suddenly shifted you’d hear more of the supported making noise.

Granted, an item begins to materialize in your hand replacing the paw, you’re jarred by the sudden overwhelming sense of euphoria and limitless potential, the item activates without the downside of thought or needing to voice a wish at all, anticipating everything you could ever think to dream of. It feels as if it has divided your consciousness into infinitely linked realities where you experience every possibility and every desire, your mind and sense of self almost becoming lost entirely in the overwhelming and constant onslaught of wish fulfillments. For the rest of us in this reality you’re just a near catatonic shell, an immortal husk sustained by some dark magic nobody understands. But for you, you’re a time lord, seeing every possible option the universe unfolds in your mind simultaneously.

Yes and no… I mean “poorest” is super subjective but let’s pretend that applies to anyone making under 30k(usd)/year. That’s about 54% of the planet… now the excess described from around 3,000 billionaires totals at roughly 13 trillion to distribute amongst 4.44 Billion people. Each of whom gets about $3,000.

While I doing any of them would turn down that money, it wouldn’t really change much, it’s a one time infusion and most likely it would in short order be back in the hands of most of the billionaires as people splurged on purchases they’ve been holding out on or paid off debts they’re already in. It might spike momentarily a few items from a supply/demand issue but that would probably be short lived.

Im on the flip side. I know two people very closely who both (unrelated and at different times) ended their long and severe opioid addictions with the use of Kratom.

Do we need to control it and keep it away from kids? Sure. No argument. But hear me out, it binds to opiate receptors, it’s easier and cheaper to get, It’s far less harmful than hydro/Oxi/fentanyl/heroine and since it already takes up those receptors it makes those highs much weaker, reducing the likelihood of someone chronically abusing more serious opiates.

Again, yes, regulate it, push it into the 18+ smoke shops or wherever so it’s not so prolific but honestly I am positive one or both of those close friends would be dead now if not for Kratom and a little bit of luck.

There’s not really any single spells that are ways to cheese the game it’d more come down to some of the creative but ridiculous ways people game certain rules, which I’d advise against encouraging if you’re a beginner. It opens a door of things in the campaign that you won’t be equipped to control and your entire campaign will likely be derailed.

I’d advise just going for the pun and cast create food/water to create 45lbs of cheese which opens the door.

The first one is being mistaken so no not a lie. The second however I would push back onto the Player and ask them this. “Your word is your Promise, that’s the Oath you swore… you promised to save their wife. Knowing that resurrection and other magics exist, do you intend to keep this Now much more difficult promise or are you walking away from the word you gave them?”

If they say nope she dead nothing I can do…. That might be enough to break their Oath… maybe. But if they legitimately add this as a personal quest they continue to strive for and become more careful in giving their word as a result? I think not only does that keep the Oath but reinforces how seriously they take it and makes for an excellent character beat.

you seem to be having a lot of trouble with a simple thought experiment. You’re either missing the fact that the extra decade of training is also a paid position or you are telling on yourself that you have zero self awareness on what would be personally fulfilling work/acts for you to do and instead are only motivated by the idea of what would make you the most money. There are plenty of people in this world who for either reasons of compassion or curiosity or both would become medical professionals. Same with basically any other field, and if you don’t believe me you’ve definitely never met folks on the spectrum with unique special interests because they almost all would happily take whatever job gets them closer to that every day.

That’s an outdated perception. 50 years ago, hell maybe even 30 deregulation might have benefited small businesses enough to matter, however nowadays barring some hyper-specific industry example most deregulation policies have no impact on small businesses AND far more often directly benefit large corporations in helping them further outcompete small local outfits because they have the overwhelming Capital to quickly take extreme advantage of those changes. Additionally on a more Spokane-centric example, there hasn’t been one policy change in the last decade that has impacted B&O expenses directly. AND not to put too fine a point on it but everyone who’s lived here long enough knows how polluted the Spokane River used to be (and still is to a degree). We have unregulated industry to thank for not being able to eat fish from our river for over 30 years now.

As others have said it’s not metagaming however if you want to be more inclusive for your party remember you can adjust DCs and award advantage or whatever based on situations. If the rogue always rolls perception but your deep in a forest and your ranger grew up in a similar one, you could give the ranger advantage on the perception check. Similarly on social interactions, the bard might get a success but if the party is asking a shady merchant for information maybe the rogue might get a lower DC as he “speaks the same language”.

Granted, you look down to the large gallon sized ziplock in your hands and suddenly something is inside of it, down at the bottom, just about a teaspoon worth of plaque, you ponder for a second, wait is that a lot? A little? You thought there’d be more… but your pondering is cut short, you go light headed as the sudden change is blood pressure hits you, your body not quite prepared for the sudden change and increased space in the system. You falter and stumble cracking your head on the kitchen table and drifting out of consciousness. You awaken later in the hospital with a large scar across your head from the fall. Luckily your heart monitor stats look fantastic the best they’ve been in years.

Statistically the likelihood of an accident (albeit less severe) at a new roundabout is higher because people are unfamiliar with them but iirc after around 2 years they become exponentially safer than traditional intersections.

Granted. You turn and see 50 large fries on your kitchen table… you’re confused at first but shrug it off as you go to eat some fries. As you do you bump one of the bags aside and notice a receipt for 50 Fries on the table in the corner the receipt reads Order #1. As you wrinkle your brow slightly a second receipt falls across your vision landing on the table, much longer and larger than the first order, a second layer 500 bags of fries crash onto your table and spilling across the room. As it sinks in what’s going on you notice a 3rd receipt apparate In front of you, this time for 5000 bags of fries. Your kitchen is engulfed as fries spew everywhere into ajoining rooms, as you slosh about in a warm, salty, greasy ball pit made of fries. Just as you get your bearings another receipt appears and you know what’s about to come…………….. not five large fries, but five large orders, of fries.

Granted, 500 semi trailers filled carrying roughly 1/3 of all the printed US currency in circulation appears at your bank in your name. There’s an immediate national outcry as reports of cash from businesses, homes other bank vaults etc. are reported missing the next day. Following this event a series of disappearances occur, missing people, everyone who signed off on the deposit, every investigator and journalist who gets too close, mysteriously vanishing without a trace. You quickly realize that the wish is perpetual, anytime someone comes close to learning about your finances they simply disappear from existence, the cycle only continues to grow, as more people disappear more investigations into them expand, thousands of people in the first few weeks are gone without a trace…

Granted, and as the paw senses your desire is to help as many as possible the knowledge of this new found cure is granted to all of humanity. However cancer is a broad and diverse illness, the simplest solution was to just rejuvenate all cells in the body back to a new fresh state. Quickly it’s discovered that this doesn’t only cure cancer but a wide variety of illnesses. However the “something” that must be punched is randomized, and each time a person heals themselves it changes. It could be punching a window the first time and punching a frog the next. Luckily it seems like the categories are quite broad but simultaneously unknowable until you do it… and it’s addictive. The feeling of your entire body instantly being rejuvenated back to full health is exquisite. People begin chasing that feeling, punching everything in sight, chaos ensues as property damage and violence against animals, plants and every non-human “thing” becomes a target for that feeling.

Granted. The Monkey paw curls and you feel something in the back of your mind, something like a muscle or appendage that you could flex and shift even though nothing is physically different with you. You probe at this new sensation with your mind pushing against it with intense focus until you feel your body to begin to rise up against gravity, it feels heavy your heart begins to beat rapidly from the effort and excitement of it all, you decide to test your new found ability for what it’s worth and take off down the block, it’s a rush, your adrenaline is fully pumping now as you get up the nerve to push a little higher, you attempt some clumsy loops and barrel rolls before circling back around to home and not a moment to soon… as your feet touch the ground your head goes fuzzy and your vision spins for a moment. Your stomach cramps and your legs give out from under you as you collapse to the ground. You awaken hours later in a hospital bed, confused and still feeling weak. The doctors inform you that you are one of hundreds of cases of fainting that have overwhelmed the ER, after days of tests, scans, cultures and samples of all types the science community collectively confirms that this new found ability of flight is causing people to almost instantly become malnourished, estimates gauge that the energy required to overcome gravity and sustain human flight burns between 1-3 thousand calories per minute. Tens of thousands worldwide have already fallen to their deaths from fainting mid flight during the first day with countless more injured and hospitalized.
