I love a good argument. Fun known uses of mending: Break an object in two, each character takes half. Identity can then be verified via mending. After verification, break the item again. This can also be used to create a 'key' such that only that exact key can be used. Break the key inside the lock so that only with the other half can you connect the pieces together. Also, great secret pockets. Cut a small slit, put something inside, cast mending. You can use it on clothes, wood planks, or even hollowed out rocks.

You may not know this, but in the old days people used to use snapped sticks to verify business deals and other transactions. They were called "tally sticks", and perhaps the most notable use was proving that you've paid your taxes. You'd keep one end of the stick and the government would take the other end and store it somewhere safe as a form of record keeping. In England the exchequer operated this system until as late as 1826, and in 1834 the store of tally sticks was ordered to be burned, representing the records of 6 centuries. The resulting blaze burned down both Parliament buildings.

But wait, it gets better... Several of those hooks would actually lead into the same mission, the local rulers daughter had been kidnapped, and it was being kept discreet, son only a few power broker types outside the rulers knew about it. So yes, some were currying favor by hoping to be the ones to rescue her, even if via proxy. So there were a few more hooks, then the news broke about her being kidnapped a bit over a week ago. They still didn't do anything but go shopping and whine that nothing was going on. A couple of days later, a group of adventurers (not the players) rescued the daughter and became the new talk of the town. The PC group were completely incensed by this and started plotting revenge for the other group "stealing" the PCs glory/treasure/adventure by rescuing her... So how's that for somebody F'ing the game?

It all came down to convincing other players to help, a high-low d100 roll to see if it would even work, a d20 to see if I could even do it in time, and the dead player deciding if his character would even want to return to life after plot things happened. Miracle of miracles, it worked and my Death Cleric Necromancer was able to revive her dumbass Barbarian fiance. The celebration at that table was wild we were all cheering so loud XD

It's an understandable question, given that the first back-to-life spell to restore missing body parts is _resurrection_ at 7th level. Of course, most DMs are fairly forgiving on the point, ruling that the body part is "missing" only if you can't find it, rather than just being detached. After all, you're probably restoring a bunch of broken bones and torn muscles already, what's one more break into the bargain? (For the DM, this is much easier than running up house rules for sewing a detached limb back on. Of course, most DMs don't use limb severs anyway. Too complicated) Personally, I tend to rule that a corpse does not count as an object, based on traditional magical practices. Living, thinking beings are special in magical terms, which is why you also can't use _resurrection_ to turn a bone knife back into whatever the bone came from (again, my personal ruling). Basically, I rule that a corpse does not become an object until sufficiently modified, and then it counts as whatever it has been made into. Of course, I also rule that if all the pieces are in contact during _raise dead_ or _revivify_ , the pieces are healed back into place. I'm a pretty forgiving DM.

I would say Zee is a rules lawyer, but in the best way. He wants the rules to be read, interpreted, and applied in a way that is fair as presented by the books so that everyone is on the same playing field. That said there ARE two kinds of rules lawyer. One type is like Zee: If you play the game with a set of consistent rules, and make sure that you maintain correct precedence on rulings you'll have more fun and be better off. I'd honestly maybe call these rules Legalists? Puffinforest calls them rules Traditionalists. Of you could call them Rules prosecutors. The other type is the one doesn't REALLY care what the rules, precedent, or logic is, they have a stake to argue for, and so they're keep arguing until the Judge (DM) tells them to shut up. They'll argue that if they're tied up they're restrained, and thus can still make an attack of opportunity. Then if THERY tie someone up in the same way and walk away they'd claim that it makes no sense, that creature is incapacitated, etc. They care about getting something from the rules, not having a fair and level playing field. Puffin calls these people rules lawyers, you can call them the Defense lawyers, I just call them assholes. (BTW for that scenario I described before? They'd be restrained and so long as they are restrained they are also incapacitated. At least according to how I'd rule it. No actions, reactions, speed of 0, attacks against them at advantage, and they get disadvantage on dex saving throws)

​@@Jognt As someone who plays a lot of different games... Rules are part of the world, without understanding how Fire Spells work how do you avoid burning down that orphanage or knowing it is safe to cast fire spells around it? Rules are their limitations for acting with the world and using their past experience and logic to figure things out. They are deeply in your world, understanding the deepest workings like an alchemist trying to find gold and I am more immersed in a world when I am playing around and learning the rules to do crazy stuff. If I focus heavily on the rules I want to stay as close to the world as possible as use my understand to preform amazing and creative solutions. It is easy to steal items in Skyrim, but you can put a bucket on their head and it becomes funny and more then just stealing. It becomes something to laugh at. Just like knowing I can cast a fire spell on that plant monster attacking a wooden orphanage that won't burn down. The characters in your world know the rules, the players don't. The character would know they could do that but I don't unless I look at your rules. I am weaker if I don't spend time using the rules and lore I should know... and I probably don't care for your world unless I'm reading the rules deeply. Heck, if I have no complaints you probably have a boring/bad/uninteresting worlds, while if I have any complaints it means I noticed there was good and bad in it and I want your world to be the best it can be. You'd think I hated the world, but in reality I loved it because I wanted to do everything I could as my character, I wanted to live in the world for the 20 years they have before adventuring.

If I was a DM I'd give this as a response. You need to make 3 medicine rolls while casting mending. With a higher dc based on damage [especially with more nerves like putting a head back on] Either way once you mend it this way it'll always mend this way till the revive. - If you fail all 3 the mend is superficial and will allow the body part to die off later. - If you Pass 1 and fail 2 you succeed in putting it on but it doesn't mend the nerves. So the limb is paralyzed. - If you pass 2 and fail 1 that limb works but never quite up to the way it was. Something just always feels off with the occasional spasm or pinched nerve. - If you pass all 3 it's restored just how it was before. Either way a restored limb through mending loses it's ability to cast magic. Since it can't restore the magic in a broken item. This means if a wizard was beheaded and someone mended him perfectly. Only his head can still use magic the rest of his body is without magic.

Honestly? Balanced interaction RAW in my eyes. If someone wants to leave their ally at 1hp in the end and spend a Level 2 spell, a Level 3 spell, and 300gp to only partially replicate a Level 7 healing spell that costs no components, then that's more or less balanced mechanically in my opinion even if it doesn't make much in-character sense. It's a downright detrimental trade-off at my table since I run a mixture of Mercer / Kingsmill rules regarding death and revival. If my players really want to take that chance that the revival might not work, and they want to pin their soul to the Revivify caster, then that's just more narrative grist for the mill! Far less risky for them to scrounge up the gold or the favor to buy a Regenerate from the religious order.

But that would be because the first assassin failed, and didn't cast mending on their half of the item (either because they died and couldn't, or because they chose not to so that the second assassin will know to take their shot) This means that the object hasn't been 'fixed' yet; the same rule that prevents you from cloning the item by 'fixing' both halves also means that mending one half somehow prevents the other half from being mended, regardless of distance. Once one half is fixed, the other half can't be. You can use that as a form of signal.

@@BenjaminStaver Being sensitive to the texture of food, I agree; but not everyone is that picky. Also, prestidigitation can produce an odor. Even though it's instantaneous and doesn't affect the food directly, smells linger in the nose and can be used to cover up another smell.

The string of swears at the end is beautiful

Nothing made me wish I could like a video twice more than that closing shot! Great video as always 😊

Truly, you deserve so much more love. Wonderful animation and I love listening to you talk.

Player: Is a corpse an object? DM: Yes Necromancers: Our time has come!!

I agree. A corpse is an object in the same way how bone jewelry and a slab of cooked meat is an object. However, like another comment mentioned above, the wound is that object's feature thus can't be mended if they were caused before dying. It helps to think of it like this - if your character accidentaly amputates their leg, the leg becomes a separate object made of meat, bone, and skin, while the rest of the character is still a living creature. Once this character dies, you have a corpse (object) AND a leg (another object) that ceased to be a living creature at different points of time. All the mending can do at this point is to fix its pants.

@@sillyjellyfish2421 ... and at what point does it cease to be recognized as a corpse? How many cuts do I have to make? Sever arms and legs, what is the corpse now? If I have a torso and a head, which is the "corpse"? Answer: it's the whole thing. All parts make the corpse, which is one object, which might be cut into pieces, but that's just damage.

@@SenhorAlien i would say, that for the necromancy purpose, you need more than half of the body reasonably attached to each other through muscles or bones. Although it would be fun to have a "pet arm" aka raised hand or leg or any other body part. They wouldn't be able to do shit in combat since a hand or a leg anone can't really do anything, but if you set those as let's say a guardian for something, you could attach reanimated arms to walls to grapple people or something.

Simple solution to that problem: Zee is now my DM. ☺️

This has to be your second best episode right next to rope trick. It just has so much story to be told and yet leaves me wanting more however with a longer episode i think we would lose the magic

The quality is amazing, love the return of the wizard 🧙‍♀️

@@teh201d Yeah, it's probably better that way. Nobody ever brings up your generational cohort except to assign you ill-conceived stereotypes. Gen X is probably going to come back into the limelight once the Boomers die off, and it probably won't be pretty. Although at this point I think most people would have trouble to define what the Gen-X stereotypes were to begin with. If I recall correctly it used to be vaguely defined cynicism and distrust of institutions, but like... That's kind of every generation since.

This reminds me of the time our rangers animal companion died and she said "I a completely heart broken" And I said "Is it less then a foot"

Roughly pixel measuring the wizard in a frame where he's falling down next to the tear reveals that he is at most 58.62 cm tall (without the hat) which is almost 2 feet. Assuming that the tear is a foot wide, of course

The rant at the end is funny because the old school wargame attitude was ABSOLUTELY the type to try to abuse mending by casting gentle repose, mending on a severed limb, then revivify
