yay i love this art! <3

Oh yes, although with roleplaying setting metaphysics, it's probably good to define this to be true if you're using it in your game. (To make sure it interacts with the rules correctly and has the right keywords etc etc.) For example if you cast "detect poison" do you detect bottles of alcohol, or a hidden wine cellar, etc etc. If your DM has never considered whether or not alcohol is a poison it probably wouldn't occur to them to mention it, but if they *have* then they might!

*detects the Necromancer's extra hidden, double-secret second laboratory where he cooks meth on the side*

Konsi did once break the plot of an adventure wide open by having the right detection magic running, for entirely unrelated reasons. Just realized the plot-twist 10 sessions early...

Congratulations on the wedding ~planning!~

YES YES YES NEW KONSI

Hmmm. It's often said that the difference between medicine and poison is a matter of dosage. Which means that you could potentially use lesser restoration to kill someone who is receiving mundane treatments for a lethal disease. Or, heck, consumed in sufficiently large doses, even water can be toxic.

I think I'd go for intent mattering for detect spells, but having it still work with healing.

This reminds me of a minor plot point from “if I pay thee not in gold”, a book I read many many years ago that helped form some of my moral framework (go read it, it isn’t long; couple hundred pages in big font like my copy, and it’s about women with magic! But only conjugation magic. And only women, for very specific, logical, and understandable plot reasons that don’t make a person want to hurl! And it’s largely about personal growth due to sex with demons!) Anyway, because they can conjure things and then dismiss them at will, the poor quarters bars are all conjugated alcohol, so if any problems arise they can instantly sober up their patrons.

Woohoo! Conga-rats! 

Perhaps it needs to be 190 proof like ever clear to count as a poison.

Cannedtuna? You don't happen to do anything with The Elders Scrolls on YouTube, do you?

After that terrible incident, planning the wedding seems only appropriate. My congratulations to you and your fiancé!

Yippee I missed these

Nah. Is there someone by that name on YT?

I like that kind of thing in a lot of settings, especially more philosophical or metaphorical settings. DnD always feels to me like it's a world where the metaphysics are defined by the players having an hour long argument at the table about "what RAW says", while people look up rules in books. Back in my 3.5 days, someone would manage to find a ruling in an obscure 3rd party book, in 4th edition, you'd find some hard definition in the source material. In 5th edition, someone will find a tweet from Crawford, and the table will agree it's stupid and decide the opposite is always true. For my experiences in D&D, the question of "whether x counts as y" is a *definition* that sticks to the universe itself - there aren't *many* examples of metaphysics in D&D where the answer varies by intent. (I'm sure there are some though!) Caveat: As with everything I say about D&D rules and definitions, this is not advice, just how I think of things, and the objective correct answer is always "whatever works at your table."

That relationship is why in every edition but fifth, healing is necromancy, and why Heal and Harm are identical in 3rd/pf, because they're the same fundamentally, you just had to tweak the settings on one to get the other.

It's going well, I think. We're on top of it. I'm not panicking. There's a Konsi in the invitation art. I'll colour her in so y'all can spot her. 

Yeah The Cantina which is a play on well canned tuna.

What's with the comb/moustache?
