I love Oglaf so much
This is priceless!
No it says right there, 20gp.
But it's still very good price
Is it a good price though? The average wage for a commoner is 2 sp per day. The equivalent to 100 days wages for a unskilled worker.
Skilled workers earn about 2 gp per day. So this represents 10 days wages. A better bargain for sure.
Adventurers are always loaded with money, so as players our view is skewed.
Take my upvote
It sounded like a scene from liar liar to me.
The shitty person ends up with Daphne written all over them like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar
"The pen is BLUE!"
Or Jim Carrey in 23
Hell of a lot faster than going through the courthouse for a name change. Probably cheaper and more effective too.
And that's how you know you're in the forkin' Good Place
I'd go back to college to study apellomancy in a heartbeat.
“So why is it 20 GP if all you did was wave your hands around and chant some incantations? Anyone could have done that…”
“Here’s an itemized bill. 1 copper piece for waving my hands around. 1 copper piece for the incantation. 1 copper piece for the scroll... 97cp, 9sp, and 19gp for the education and experience to know which hand waving, incantations, and spell scrolls to use.”
Seriously, every single freelancer or contractor has gotten the “Well I could have done that, what the hell am I paying you for? That only took you like 10 minutes” response after their education and experience makes the job look easy.
not one hour ago a client emailed me annoyed that I made their 7 emails point to one web page and didn't make a separate but identical web pages for each email, obviously me being lazy.
Fun fact, in a Campaign I'm playing, my Fey Bard simply "stole" the Deadname of our Cleric and now she has a total of four names and it's awesome for everyone 😄
The classic: "May I have your name?" blunder
"hello may, i never gave you my name."
*fae catches fire and melts"
We need this
I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they're about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it's very Cointidental magic.
Wtf this sounds fun
This sounds like the rpg I have been waiting for
