  • Key word, Should. If taxes actually went where people say it does, it might. And even then, it’d also take a lot of funding outside of just taxes, not to mention someone to actually start doing stuff about with all that funding. Also note on that list is rampant corruption and criminal syndicates mingling with the government.



  • The problem with this argument is that first off, the GM can’t know your character sheet front-to-back because they’re not playing your character, so they probably don’t know if even a 1 will pass the DC they’ve set.

    1/20 is much less regular than 5/20 or even 19/20

    It’s still far more common than is reasonable.

    I have to agree with bleistift2 that you chose a bad example here, at least in regards to the United States and other rampantly car-dependent places. Obviously the wording is ableist, but someone complaining about a real issue such as car-dependency or just generally high-class laziness might not think of that at the time. A better example I think would be

    People’s aversion to talking to others is stunningly ridiculous and shouldn’t be enabled.

    Not only is this more obviously ignorant of disability, but it also doesn’t pose the question of if they’re arguing against something no-one should be complaining about vs real-world issues caused by corruption and late-stage capitalism. c/fuckcars





  • And more lies.

    If that’s not what you were saying, then what were you saying?

    Also, I like how you say both “I am not saying you are a racist” and “your (subconscious) bigotry” as if those aren’t total contradictions.

    They are not. Subconscious bigotry or bias doesn’t necessarily make one a bigot, as contradictory as that may sound. Whether they like to admit or not, everyone reacts differently to people who are noticeably different from them. There is no way to entirely avoid this, only to realize when it happens and not act according to it. Or in other words: “I don’t care if you’re racist! EVERYONE’S racist!”


  • No, you’re not understanding. There is nothing saying, RAW, you can’t play as a gnoll. The RAW is that you can’t choose a gnoll as your race - but in the case of being polymorphed into one, you didn’t choose that, you were changed into one. And the RAW for that is to assume that everything works the same as before, barring what is explicitly said in the spell for that transformation. And once again, nothing in the spell says you stop playing as a character who is transformed, regardless of if the transformation is “playable” or not. There is not even a “playable” tag for anything, anywhere, in RAW.






  • The target’s game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the new form. It retains its alignment and personality.

    OP could’ve just repeated “spells do what they say they do.” It doesn’t say you lose control of your character in the new form, all it says about the new form and how that affects the character is…well, that line(plus a few other things about the gear they were wearing and whatnot).
