Sure I guess.....  "Most players" <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤣" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" title="Rolling on the floor laughing    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> There's a reason why what I said that I would add a third option rather than replace one of the two Maxperson listed when I brought it up. That's also why why I described in 685 doesn't require players to split the two & in fact plays upon their very nature. When the mountain of BS nonsense fiction becomes too high for them to sort the true from the urban legends it becomes difficult to metagame the shifting truth & a lot of the time that metagamed pre-prep like a low level PC commissioning the earlier described moon & river blessed bamboo spear just becomes a "hey I got an idea.. lets do/use this to be safe" when a weird critter shows up<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤣" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" title="Rolling on the floor laughing    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />Extending the troll vrs fire example from above...

That salted wooden weapon could be doing nothing it could be doing something else, it might even be working...  Sure would be a shame itlf it just delayed things this campaign and the party now has a group of angry trolls with a grudge over their use of salted weapons... Seriously... What kind of sadist thinks salted wooden weapons are the cure for troll Regen?... Even a troll can swing that persuade check m</blockquote>
