Depending on the household, certainly. The cook may well not be involved in serving the food at all, that may well be the job of other...

I mean, you are asking him to coin new jargon here rather than using well understood terms from outside of the hobby - given the general...

As an aside on the crumbling cliff thing - why would we narrate such a thing in the first place? We know it's to provide a narrative...

It doesn't even need to be a sustained period - given how short 5e levels 1 and 2 can be in terms of encounters it's very...
