Into the Woods
Jun. 22nd, 2023 11:26 amWe have had the third session now of nothing but role-play. I am in heaven, but I worry about my fellow players.
Because the actual session was a little disjointed and thus hard to distill into a singular narrative, this letter also goes off on a tangent about how weird the world would be if we really lived by the rules of 5e. Because of a Cleric character I have waiting in the wings, I've been thinking a lot about death in a world where revivify (and other raise the dead) spells exist. Like, revivify is pretty common, so long as you have a diamond (or diamond dust) worth 300 gold or something like that. This made me think that it would be fully possible for a bunch of aristocrats, like Ave's social class, to make dying and revivifying into a party trick/social fad. Which helps explain why she was so shocked to discover murder was a crime!
If you're curious about how Ave might have participated in that, read under the cut!
