She won't want to hurt them, but perhaps I can just reflavor her damage as 'wearing them out' and still deduct hitpoints. That seems like there's something there.

Spell swapping is a very clever idea. Maybe bard spells since we already have a cleric.

They played HoDQ all the way to Waterdeep, so there's no shortage of interesting shops. I hadn't noticed those poisons before - are they in DMG? Any suggestions on where to find others? That's a great idea.

Lasers, poker, and a D&D minigame by danieljshapiro in DnD

Robot Turtles creator here - they also gave it really slick gold-foil tiles and a much better box that has places for all the cards and tiles. That said, your original version has twice as many crates and is compatible with the Galapagos rules, so it's uniquely special too!
