Pretty sure that the "at liberty" is mostly to allow for things like soul jars and what-not. RAW, there's no reason a person that dies a normally violent death (slit throat, crushed by rocks, eaten by a griffon, etc) wouldn't be at liberty. Now, if a Lich rips out your soul and chews it down...

Two things don't have to be casually distinguishable to have real known differences.

Can't say for sure it's true in 5e, but in 3.Xe (the edition I'm most familiar with) that would be a Spellcraft check. So probably an Arcana check in 5e. Either way though, whether someone can easily identify a "class" is a different question from whether there are classes as the world's...

To answer the original question... it depends? Mostly on how well understood magic is in the setting. If magic users are common enough that you have a college of 'em somewhere, or that churches reliably have a Cleric†, then there is probably enough understanding of the differences and...

The important part is that they "move" how you want them to move. If you consistently and unintentionally make people dislike you, that's not a sign of a high charisma no matter how much they dislike you.

Sure. I laughed at the first. Haven't seen the Wolverine so I can't speak to my reaction to that. But either way, that's a very different complaint from your earlier one. The problem you were speaking to earlier was how the movie continuity ignores large parts of what you consider essential...

Yeah... if you walk into a Marvel superhero movie and expect it to be a reflection of 616 you're doing it wrong.

You're overthinking this. Yes, keeping an accurate-to-616 version of Cable would be difficult in the movies. But putting Cable into the movies and just never bothering with the back story or just giving it a one-line explanation... that's easy. See: everyone but Wolverine, Prof X, Magneto and...

Nah. For multiple reasons! First, even in 616, Cable isn't actually Jean's son. He's the son of her clone, who was made after she "died" the first time because Sinister was bored. Second, in other universes Cable isn't always related to Scott and Jean at all. In the Ultimate universe, for...

Also evil? Mornings.

... is it wrong that my first thought was "China Lake, Edwards or Vegas?"

Perhaps because by not calling it "cheese" we can separate it from what it's a twisted mockery of and overlook a monstrosity of unnatural proportion it really is. You know, like how real newborns are almost never depicted because people don't want to think about the fact they come out screaming...

That racial/national/ethnically/whatever-themed parties can be racist (as college students throughout the US like to regularly prove) isn't really an argument that they don't happen. I also can't decide if your stance on St. Patty's day is meta or delusional. On one hand it's certainly an...

/headscratch I hope you realize that's not exactly true, right? Actions have consequences. How does it go... "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words affect my mind, the one eternal part of my composite being". Further, we have plenty of stories where the things someone did online...

I say "howdy" and "y'all" un-ironically. I was gonna say me neither, but then someone posted the picture of cheeze whiz. I had actually forgotten that's a thing. Perhaps for a good reason.

Eh. I've already warned the bosses that if they make me a manager or supervisor then I'll start wearing the kilt to work. So I figure it's just a matter of time.

A few years back I worked as a supervisor for the circulation desk of my university's library. I think the only time I had an issue with one of the student worker's outfit was when there was a swear on it. The t-shirt was funny, but I still had to ask him not to wear it again. He laughed...

Dammit, which Heinlein book was that? I want to say Beyond this Horizon but it's been so long since I Heinlein binged...

I may have to talk you out of that. At $1000 an hour.

technically the dress code at my work is on the nice side of buisness casual, slacks and button-ups or collared shirts, no logos or slogans that aren't associated with work, so-on. However the enforcement of dress codes (and importance of dress in general) seems to (for my industry, anyway)...
