  • Cleric alignment requesites go largely unnoticed by the player. staying within one step of diety is pretty easy, probably comes automatically to most people who would be interested in the class on the first place. Alignment gets complicated for them in considering if it’s appropriate to cast magic circle or not or holy word or not. but usually it’s safe to assume for those.

    Paladin is responsible for I think almost all alignment hangups at the table. sure, there are others but not as often.

    Druid probably would be because communicating the concept of neutrality is full of hangups but I think druids are pretty underplayed.







  • A huge part of beginning work with a therapist is learning emotional vocabulary because many people are just made ignorant of what our emotions even are. That thing you feel when something bad happens to somebody you don’t like? There’s two or three different words for that but you can’t be expected to handle it healthily if you don’t even know what it is.

    That’s an extreme example but there’s also a whole bunch of different kinds of sad that some cultures (looking at you America) just refuse to acknowledge because being sad isn’t being a hard worker and that’s bad for the economy ☹️

    Anywho, emotional vocabulary. Important stuff. They make worksheets and tools to help you explore words. I highly recommend for everyone but especially for men because they keep us stupid on purpose.





  • if you’re trying to bluff yes, you probably could just do this with a deception check. but I think this is different because you can use it to retroactively affect the narrative of an NPC. The deception check you’re making in that case is to successfully convince them throughout their life that you were just the buttler or something.

    A creative GM might let you do that normally if it’s within plausibility and you clear it with them first, but having a distinct feat and ruleset to do that is unique and helpful.
