[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9775202, member: 93670"] I got [URL='https://a.co/d/bVlD6On']it[/URL] for about 20-30$ before the tarrifs, pretty far from a Garmin Phoenix or anything that could be fancy enough to be considered a magical item. More importantly is the context chain of how it came up. Claims were made about how PCs couldn't know the recovery rules that govern their own recovery on video game vrs realism grounds so I posted a couple examples of my typical workout and the recovery I very much understand for each. That led to me waking up to see the PCs couldn't understand recovery of their own capabilities goalpost strapped on some roller skates and slid on over to an even more absurdv"but but but exact hp" so I felt it deserved an equally absurd and irrelevant bit of specifically. Others gave good examples of real world non video game humans knowing equivalents and the exasperated elf dressing it up in fluff. There are all sorts of things where competing and parallel standards exist for very similar things like how some ammunition is described by weight and others in mm or inches while still others are measured in terms of a [URL='https://science.howstuffworks.com/shotgun3.htm']count per unit of weight[/URL] :) [Spoiler="kinda like oilfield measurements?"] [MEDIA=youtube]sdWEGzWFcCc[/MEDIA] [/Spoiler] [/QUOTE]
