(The characters had just won a battle and were decided on how to interrogate the one enemy they left alive, who was refusing to talk) Cleric: can I roll to just punch her in the face Bard: wait! Why can’t I try talking to her? Cleric: fine, we’ll have good cop, then bad cop and if all else fails, horny cop Ranger: wait — why am I horny cop?! DM: Your character sheet literally says “fuccboi”

Does improved evasion help during tax season?

It helps, yeah. But if you want to dodge out on paying taxes completely you’re going to need a mage that knows Elminster’s Tax Evasion.

Can’t be found guilty of Tax fraud if you’re in your own Pocket Dimension! Simply cast Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Mansion every day until the tax man dies, of you do.

How are you supposed to spend all that sweet untaxed gold if you’re hiding though?

Disguise yourself with illusion magic obviously. If you can cast Mansion, you’ve got Disguise Self most likely. Can’t arrest you if you look like the opposite gender and a different race

thedungeonofbaddecisions

Fair point.

Just fireball the tax man. Or meteor swarm the local tax office.

thedungeonofbaddecisions

Dude. It’s just tax evasion, no need to go full murderhobo

conrishadowflame

Down with taxation without representation. Evocation against tyranny.

thedungeonofbaddecisions

Taxes aren’t inherently tyrannical!

conrishadowflame

Pretty simply either the taxes are tyrannical or you’re representing them as such anyways. You don’t evade taxes for hoots, either the taxes are evil or you are.

thedungeonofbaddecisions

Dude. I am not going to have an argument about the possibility of evil inherent to either a person or a government system.

Wrong axis.

Taxes are not evil, they are Lawful. “Tyranny” is the epitome of Lawful evil as compared to an “anarchy” of chaos. As such any lawful system you disdain could be classified as a “Tyranny” from a relative moral stand point (even if as in D&D objective moral stand points exist), even if it is a xanadu bureaucracy of the seraphim incorruptible, if they tax and you are chaotic enough that you hates taxes, then you could refer to it as tyranny because by definition a Tyranny is a “cruel and oppressive government or rule.” (google definition important part bolded)

Not to mention Choatic people likely play fast and loose with definitions anyway.

While I am impressed with your argument, I was definitely not prepared to actually have it with you

dragonkingofthestars

ehh argument? … .OK i get that my post could be taken to be done in support of shadow flame, but dissenting why he might thinks that way in a D&D setting with fixed moral alignments seemed interestingly enough that I did so.

For the record he’s obviously wrong, and the old mark Twain Quote “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”, definitely fits, specially since shadow strikes me as the type not to kindly to Sunlight facts.

I’m just…well your post conveyed a contempt? a disapproval, annoyance? Something, and you were right to feel that given the original context of my post, and frankly I like some of the “Dungeon of bad decisions” content enough to care to some degree what you think of me beyond even my simple desire to try and not be an asshole to people on the internet even by accident.

to cut this long post short: I am sorry that my post came out confrontational and argumentative and in support of somebody you rather not engaged with. that was not my intention and I apologize.

thedungeonofbaddecisions

When I said argument, I didn’t mean in a negative fashion. I meant that you had set up an impressive and logical rebuttal to the proposition of taxes being possibly evil. I appreciate very much when people have intelligent debates over the small minutiae of world-building and other things. There is nothing to apologise for.
