  • I agree with the sentiment but not with the advice “commit a felony to avoid maybe getting a felony”. There isn’t a chance you’ll get charged with destroying evidence if they’re already looking at you under a microscope like your hypothetical.

    Anyone that concerned needs to just not store sensitive data on their phone, and use a messaging app that doesn’t permanently store messages, either. That way you didn’t erase your phone, AND they find nothing. Attempting to secure your data from the cops while you’re already under the lens with a warrant is far too late.








  • Honestly I feel this was always the goal (one of several), but R&D is expensive. Shipping an odd phone that people still buy keeps the shareholders happy while the multi-year research process can eventually produce more usable results.

    Single-flip phones were the awkward teenagers, now this phone can be the 18-20 age young adult, fully featured, but needing refinement. Next gen or the one after this will add a lot more robustness.








  • Potions of healing are magical, but elixirs and alchemical healing is distinct.

    Theres a few other alchemical sources of healing, like Healing Vapors.

    Also always worth a reminder that, while it doesn’t work in-combat, battle medicine is considered separate from Treat Wounds, so you can use battle medicine and then immediately get your wounds treated. Also the day of immunity only applies to one person’s battle medicine; if two people have it, the same target can benefit from 2 different battle medicine checks.

    I dunno about your particular build, but godless healing would be a good boost to any life oracle that applies, as well.

    As far as in-combat only, yeah, I’d just stock up on elixirs of life. Even if everyone else is relying on healing magic, that’ll be enough to at least get you back up if you’re dropped and battle medicine has been used.



  • My dad is the sort of guy who thinks mental health is for chumps but you could see the concern in his eyes when I came back from college with my own diagnostic and started listing off the signs my therapist pointed out to me.

    He still won’t admit it, but he’s fanatical about his coffee, tells me he can’t turn his brain off without a drink (a separate issue), hates breaking his routine, etc etc. Not just a match for ADHD but a match that basically perfectly fits my particular flavor of it.

    Glad your kid is getting support at a better age, mine is too. They’ll handle it much better, hopefully, with the extra help.
