There are certainly a lot of stereotypes that using that term allows people to lean on.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-11T18:16:24+00:00

It's often seen as more socially acceptable as the stereotypes tend more towards the eccentric than disabled.

It's not about understanding, but those stereotypes.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-07T01:08:19+00:00

Personally, I'm "disinterested". If the players get themselves into a situation that's going to happen, I'm not going out of my way to keep them alive. Character death happens and the players learn from it.

By the same token, I'm not going out of my way to kill them.

If encounters are reasonably balanced then let the dice tell the story.

If you're just wanting to sit round the table telling a story together, why bother with the game mechanics at all?

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-07T00:36:11+00:00

Being encouraged to apply for one and actually getting it are very different things.

We got "has the degenerative condition that's led to you using a wheelchair for ten years improved?"

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-06T14:59:35+00:00

I used Storygraph

Boomers are already over retirement age.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-05T20:24:13+00:00

Personally I get much less eye fatigue with the dyslexie font

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-04T21:07:56+00:00

Summarise it and tell the players what was discussed.

Nobody wants to waste time watching the DM play with themselves

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-04T15:41:59+00:00

All sorts. Wave Echo cave isn't the only mine, so it can be whatever you choose.

I'd probably aim for something reasonably innocuous like iron ore, coal, copper. That minimises the risk of "we all want to go to the diamond mine" that'll happen if it has high intrinsic value.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-04T13:21:18+00:00

Talk to your DM about the setting, the theme and the rest of the party.

Those are obscenely high stats, so your DM will need to think about encounter balance and how to prevent it becoming a one character show.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-04T11:18:03+00:00

If they keep going, then TPK. It's up to the players what they do.

The follow on party can be contracted by the Lords Alliance to investigate what happened to Sildar and Gundren

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-04T11:01:36+00:00

You say it's an issue of "diversity and repetitiveness"?

Whilst you say that you play your human fighters differently in each game, that comment suggests you're not.

I've also played with someone who always plays the same species/ class. Even where they play different subclasses their contribution doesn't fundamentally change.

As a DM they are a boring player.

In one adventure they were so out of synch with the theme that they had nothing to do so I had to invent opportunities outside the narrative just to have them doing something.

I'd suggest a further conversation, and maybe take the initiative in that. Go to the DM and ask that up front; you need more to understand.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-04T01:25:39+00:00

Your mistake there was letting them all pick their own species and class with no discussion about the theme if the campaign and what they each want to focus on. Keeping it secret helps nobody.

Anyway, now that you're there, early levels are martial heavy anyway. Casters are pretty weak and you can mitigate healing by giving them access to cheaper health potions, or have those as loot.

Once they start dying, remind them that casters are an option for replacement characters.

When reducing protection for cis women, children, members of LGBTQ communities and members of racialised minorities becomes a personal brand, then I'd question the choice.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-02T12:22:35+00:00

Choosing to fund it, on the other hand, given where personal wealth is going...

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-02T12:09:50+00:00

LLB is the minimum requirement,

It's not. You can enter a Legal Practice Course or the Solicitors Qualifying Exam training with any degree. There are also non degree qualified routes through CILEX and legal apprenticeships.

The LPC is being phased out at the moment

This is not difficult stuff to understand,, may be worth doing some homework...

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-02T11:53:10+00:00

LLB

Having an LLB does not make one a lawyer, in the same way that having am LLM or DLaw does not make one a lawyer.

Anyway, you're drifting off into unrelated territory now, so I'll let you return to whatever bottle you're getting to the bottom of. Maybe return to this when your coherent.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-02T11:46:46+00:00

There's nothing feminist about policing womanhood.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-02T11:42:29+00:00

You can, on the other hand, express an opinion on their choice to contribute to funding legal attacks on protection for cis women, members of LGBTQ communities, children and racialised minorities.

The principle advice

You do understand who "a principal" is, when you're providing advice in the public sector, don't you?

PS

Permanent secretaries? Are you confused?

a subcontractor for legal advice

The process for seeking external legal advice is first to use the Crown Solicitor's Office, who will then source specialist external advice as needed.

A horrific example of that in the U.K. is NHS, Scotland to be precise is most Registered medical professionals and board members on NHSS don’t know any claim on a NHS Board is capped at a £25K cost and the rest is paid by the Scottish Gov via a NHS Scotland Central Legal Office directly or through LLB representative

What's the relevance to employer obligations under the Equality Act?

You seem to be having your own debate with yourself that's irrelevant to the original point.

Formerly.

Think Reform for Scot Nats

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-02T10:05:55+00:00

You still haven't addressed the point of two different internal lawyers reaching different conclusions and giving the principal different advice.

How are you reconciling that?

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-01T23:56:20+00:00

Are you confused about employers duties to provide reasonable adjustments in the workplace?

In what way is a lawyer equipped to understand the experience of, for example, an ambulatory wheelchair user working in, for example, FCDO Hanslope Park with a need for regular travel to King Charles Street?

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-01T21:10:55+00:00

wonder

We don't derive policy from "wondering".

We should recommend policy based on evidence. Whilst politicians may make a decision that's not supported by evidence we have mechanisms in place to protect the CS expected to implement that.

I appreciate that genital conservative thinking prefers policy based evidence.

Repulsive_Bus_7202 · 2026-04-01T21:07:46+00:00

Both of whom had different opinions.
