[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 9031873, member: 20323"] Winter Wolf is one of those rare languages in D&D that's spoken by Winter Wolves (a frost-breathing evil dire wolf that's pretty cunning). Craft (leather worker's tools). Same same. OK, that's my confusion. For "baseline" gear there's two choices: Either (A) use the gear packages from Druid & your Outlander background, or (B) use the druid starting gold 2d4x10 (average 50 gp) to buy everything from scratch. I [I]think [/I]what you're saying is you went with option (A), but you're swapping some stuff around? Ok, so I'm very comfortable in the grey areas of the game. For instance, all of what I just posted was not saying "replace 'water' with "liquid water"; instead, I was getting into nuance, design intent, and player intent. I'm comfortable doing that. If you're not comfortable with that, and you prefer a more hard-coded unambiguous "letter of the spell" approach, in that case going with "replace 'water' with liquid water" is totally fine. I was trying to thread a needle and give you some more utility with the cantrip in a snowy environment. I'll delve into these questions next, but we have a style clash here. I'm [I]not[/I] the "letter of the spell rules-lawyer, cover every corner case in painstaking detail" GM. That's another GM, but it's not me. So, I think that's critical to convey to you and everyone. I thought it was clear in the GM bio I posted in my original post, but I want to be abundantly transparent about this. For me as GM, I'm more interested in your [I]intent with the spell [/I]than perfectly sculpting the language of spell to try and account for all circumstances. That's why trying to answer your questions devoid of context or understanding your intent is hard for me. [/QUOTE]
