Looking at the state of my country, no they don't.

As for what would I do, were I in charge. * Keep ability scores, de-emphasize the modifiers. Use the ability scores for passive benefits. AC, defenses, DCs. Keep the modifiers for active uses. So AC is based on Dexterity score, finesse attacks on the bonus. * Debloat HP. Yes, we need more...

I loved paragon Half-elves and their ability to spam an at-will from another class (normally twin strike I think?)

The largest obstacle to this is the Wizard. It is an inherently complex class.

IMO the best way to avoid getting entangled into poliitcs is to avoid calling unwanted attention. Being discrete, never repeating the same outfit twice in the same area (even cosplaying as a local folklore figure). Work mostly at night. Avoid the large cities. Leave the phone at home. The best...

In a video meeting. Normally I would take it inside, but today it's not an option.

Thank you. I'm just cold and outside, where it's cold.

And I need a hug right now. It's cold outside.

Mr. Simpson, you're Diabolical...

I thought it was already quite dark.

Happy Bday.

A typical gem is an structure of many different minerals. Even Diamonds are worth because of their form. Due to the characteristics of the gem, it can be identified and traced. To remove that traceability, you'd need to completely destroy the gem and remake it. Which kills all of the value of...

Last year I saw a documentary on the largest gold heist in modern history. They claimed most of it will never be recovered because being an element, gold is notoriously impossible to trace. And lots of stolen gold circulates through official channels multiple times over.

I made an oral presentation on Greek Mythology for an English course. All of this basically pre-internet. (Ok, there was internet, but it was before Wikipedia was a thing)

Plus, the world is your shopping mall. Not all countries have the same maximum amount for cash transactions. And you can always recurr to straw buyers.

Apart from Greek and Norse, others I haven't mentioned other mythologies and where I learned them from. "Aztec" Mythology. Mostly because the myths are widespread in the National textbooks, I also read one book where it explained it for children. Motifs are important in national archeology...

Not saving $10 on a baseball card, I mean saving $300 on shipping $100 collectibles, plus an undisclosed amount in taxes and tariffs. Shipping and taxes can be as high as 100-400% when shipping stuff from Europe to Latin America.

I'm still convinced this is a phenomenon in the making. In the lead up to Epiphany I've seen tons and tons of unlicensed merchandise, between toys, plushies and lots of billboarding in clothes. (In my country, Epiphany is the top day for toy gifting instead of Christmas which still sees heavy...

The idea would be to sell some stuff that is more readily available and only rare because it is more common in one place than in another. Less rare Japanese Gold foil Black Lotuses (I made this up) and more European Spectrum clones to American collectors. Heck, just selling Japanese Nintendo...

Money is easier than taking a shovel and going digging through random strips of land. Just take advantage that you can move very fast across the planet to engage in lucrative arbitrage. Buy collectibles and trading cards where they are cheap and resell them where they are more expensive. For...
