Great, somehow my mother found her way onto this forum to lecture me about my preferences.

It was a jab at people who use similar statements to defend questionable practices motivated by profit.

Hello.

If I spent a day entangled in an argument on the internet, I would take a moment to remember that the other party's palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on their sweater already (mom's spaghetti), then close the thread and probably never bother looking at it again. Heck, I'd do...

Average Evil Enjoyer, coming through!

I can't remember the last time a succubus turned me against the highest representative of a sovereign state, but I guess I'll take your word for it.

For me, the disconnect here is really that it's feasible to masterfully deceive someone without any "social combat" at all. Combat as-is exists as a stand-in to simulate actually stabbing and battering another being, whereas I can run a succubus that plays PCs against each other unassisted...

Protection from Evil and Good has a material component, which the spell consumes. It's never specified how much material the spell requires, or even the cost of it. You can't use a component pouch for it. In other words, there's no telling how much you actually need. Okay, I get it, "rulings...

They even use 5th Edition character sheets in the manga.
