A bard that is also a mime.

Harry Potter AU where Lin is Voldemort. Team Meteor are Death Eaters. Fern is Draco Malfoy & Sigmund is Umbridge. Do you approve?

fern is a very draco character, but i can’t see sigmund as umbridge... umbridge is a hundred times more infernal than him tbh

Make your players fight a flock of harpies. Demonstrate their enchanting singing voice by blaring Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” at full volume. Bonus points if you do this with every bard they encounter as well.

To go further on the subject of rules lawyers, I feel that they fall into broadly two categories. There are the "Rules Traditionalists", who just want to do things *right* and by the book. (I find myself falling into this category a lot of the time myself.) Then there are the "Rules Hagglers". The guys who try to constantly use the rules to bargain and bend the situation to their advantage, bogging the game down. It's more often the latter that people have a problem with.

Yea I guess it’s mostly about finding a balance between player preferences, playing styles, and what each player considers fun. Different players are bothered by different things. Some players are bothered by inconsistency and some are bothered by being called out on their inconsistency. Every table benefits from a conversation about what’s okay and what’s not when it comes to interrupting the game to talk about rules, and what each player considers to be fun and what they consider to be unfun or rude or disruptive, etc.

Also the category I fall into would be more like “I don’t care what rules we have but can we please just be consistent and fair?”

I for one enjoyed your prank. As a Finn, It always tickles me to see English speakers be big babies about people talking in their native tongues.

Bruuuhhh I had no idea you were a finn too?? :O

For me demons & devils do have a slight difference in general aesthetic. Devils are more about... Fire & brimstone. Steel, chains, tools of torment, the traditional image of the big red Satan. Demons meanwhile tend to be a mishmash jumble of animal parts, often grotesquely misshapen. (also note how devils often wear clothes, while demons rarely ever do) To summarize: devils take inspiration from Dante's Inferno, while demons are more Ars Goetia.

I like that description... Tho only 3/11 devils in the Monster Manual wear clothes. And so do 3/14 demons. The animal parts thing for demons is something I’ve thought about, but then there’s outliers like the ice devil, which literally just fits the demon description and has no devilish elements. And balors, which are demons, match your description of devils 100%. I hate the inconsistencies...

Does Fal have any family he is staying in contact with?

Currently he does not have contact with his adoptive parents or his mentor. :’)
