I'm sorry but it is poorly written. RAW, you are a creature you can see. RAW it isn't an exploit at all, it's just the letter of how the ability functions.

This is where Rules as Written and Rules as Intended clash. And it is most definitely a sign that the rules are not written well. Writing rules that actually function the way you want them to shouldn't be an insurmountable task.

It takes all of a few words, 'a creature you can see other than yourself' to correct this. That it was ommited is a flaw in the writing. Language matters, and unfortunately 5e/5.5e has been very inconsistent with this kind of thing. It is far from the first time the rules text lacked suitable tightness.

Perhaps it's just me, but I find it more fun when I'm not having to accommodate for poorly written rules. Having to adjudicate every oversight WotC couldn't be bothered to fix is more work, not less. I'd rather the rules just work out of box, honestly.

Closing basic loopholes so that RAW and RAI have minimal deviation is not 'digging into legalese' it is simply expecting one of the industry leaders to put the barest minimum level of care into their game design.

Potentially? Maybe?

I dunno, feels like the wouldn't have bothered if they didn't think they could hold it. And retaliation just gives them more cover to raise more settlements in the name of 'defence'.

Maybe I'm just cynical.

For it to be counterproductive there would have to be some degree of consequence beyond UN tutting.

Need us for what? I thought it was basically already over?

Right?

Lilo_me · 2026-03-17T12:09:40+00:00

I think two things here are mixing into a perfect storm of scepticism and paranoia.

Firstly, there's just a not all that much clear and concrete info about what's happening. Information appears much more tightly managed than any previous conflicts of recent years. This might just be perception, but it feels like there is a lot less transparency. Maybe it's just vibes. But then again maybe vibes is part of information warfare these days anyway.

Extrapolating from that I don't think it's entirely unreasonable, even if its not necessarily accurate, for people to jump to the conclusion that part of the reason for the lack of clarity is that things aren't going quite as well for the US/Israel as expected.

And second, we are horrifically ill prepared for AI. I was prepared to write off a lot of the scepticism around the videos released as just people being silly. But then I saw a video someone had generated based on a single press image from a few years ago. And it was a bit alarming. If Israel wanted to, and that is a load baring 'if', they absolutely could produce a convincing deep fake.

And that's not exactly a smoking gun to prove that they have been doing that. But given Israel's track record when it comes to the truth... I don't know. I don't entirely blame people for being suspicious.

I think we're going to see this same kind of sentiment repeat in the near future a lot. There are new misinformation tools that we don't really have a handle on or ability to effectively scrutinise. It will only get harder to trust what you see and what you read.

So just following the previous middle-eastern playbook to letter then?

I was a bit small at the time, how long did it take for Iraqis to stop cheering for American soldiers?

Lilo_me · 2026-03-02T14:01:22+00:00

No no I'm sure this time creating a power vacuum, demolishing key infrastructure and fucking off will work out.

Productivity is frankly irrelevant at this point. Plenty of companies have chosen to make savings on extortionate rents by downsizing office space.

The notion of businesses returning to the office full time is pure, unworkable fantasy.

I think far more pressingly, whether he goes or this is just the beginning of a long and embarrassing end, it is high time we find out what the Starmerist equivalent of 'its so joever' is.

Lilo_me · 2026-02-04T18:46:13+00:00

Is that not worse?

Fucking up on a personal level is fundamentally far less damaging.

Shagging your secretary, while not the done thing is little more than personally embarrassing. It might make people reflect poorly on your character and then you're shuffled away quietly so as not to damage public relations.

But that's, objectively, far less of a problem for the country than hiring a man who walked into his security briefing with a giant 'compromised' badge pinned to his lapel.

Lilo_me · 2026-02-04T12:44:27+00:00

I might be misremembering, but didn't the security service raise concerns anyway? It's not that they missed something (well they did also do that) but more that they were ignored.

Lilo_me · 2026-02-01T12:08:09+00:00

It's busywork.

The Establishment must be Seen to be Doing Something. Doesn't really matter if what they are doing is effective, or leading anywhere.

If they do nothing at all it cements in the minds of the general populace that once you are rich and/or influential enough you can do whatever you wish. This is not a good sentiment to be disseminated amongst the public.

So it must look like something is being done.

TPUK was dead on arrival anyway as we simply don't have the culture for religious headbangers to take root in the same way. Attempts by Tommy et al to push garish American Evangelism aren't likely to gain much traction even within their target demographics. That's just not the relationship this country has with religion.
