Oh yeah, it's always pretty fun for us to fuck around in RDR

Even in a meritocracy-
(Which, lemme tell you, with the way people work? Wouldn't stay a meritocracy for long)
-elections will almost certainly still have an element of a "popularity contest" to them.
And it's simple because no matter how skilled, if someone has the personality of a doorknob...

I fail to see the issue here, this seems like the perfect chance for the villain to try and seduce one of them.

Omurice is best with either ketchup, or a demi glace on top of it.
It's still just egg and rice, but it's a decent simple meal.

HOBGONLIN OPERA
comment in response to
post
Orcish jazz, and hobgoblin romantic symphonies and operas (ala Wagner). Pretty much ditched the remaining sword & sorcery feel (not using D&D helps with this). Most of this is all hinted at, even in the old 3e material, we just went through and made conscious decisions to emphasize them.

Yeah. Eberron is classic for this. My group plays it more "modern" (as in the 1920s) with all kinds of convenices like refrigeration, "telephones" (magic mirrors, actually), and, of course, the already existing "trains," "planes," and "steam" ships. We have coffee shops (discovered in Xendrk, ofc)

In fairness, if someone was whirling around a great sword Id be more intimidated than a flail.

Only way to really make a farming scythe usable was to take the blade and mount it vertically instead of horizontally, iirc?

Absolutely, and, it's more interesting than just saying "Oh yeah. It's enchanted."

Yeah. They're just. Really, really bad ideas. But with some magic, it goes for a horrid idea to something semi viable.
Hell, just detach the head completely, then enchant it to fly around (nearby) following your intent. There you go, you have a hands free flying bludgeon.

Yes yes yes! You get it!
Like. This shit is just SO fun to think of! And honestly, it's much more interesting than just shrugging and going "Oh yeah, it uhh. It's more likely to hit."
Where's the fun in that? Folks should try to go wild with this stuff!

And the ideas don't really stop there. If you could make a whetstone move, could you just "program" it to move perfectly along the edge of a blade?
Hell, if you can make things move, why not just magic a cart into moving on its own?

Or the idea of a flail. I'm sure @thebeardedhalfling.bsky.social can vouch that the idea of an actual flail is...not really a great one for some fights.
Buuuut...if you could enchant a flail head to move following a wielder's intent, well now the "smash yourself in the head" problem goes away!

Basically the caster is like a conduit, and much like a wire with too much electricity, it can burn out.

Close enough only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades!

26 grams of salt, 12 grams of sulfur, a chant *roughly* an hour long, and a ritual circle that looks right-
Well then your body is forcibly turned inside out.
Those small details are so unbelievably important that most folks don't take the risk.
comment in response to

All of these rituals are *given* by other forces. There are almost no rituals discovered purely through mortal experimentation, because doing so is damn near suicidal.
26.23 grams of salt, 12.47 grams of sulfur, a 1 hour chant, and specific ritual circle, you summon a specific type of fiend.

Ah, so it only works how you expect it to work?

* I mean ritual in the more fantastical sense of the word, like something tied to magic, or psychic energy, or the occult (or technology I guess?).
