  • As someone who is not LGBTQ+ but is trying to understand it myself, the biggest key to “getting it” is separating sex and gender. Sex would be your biological make up, regardless of genital configuration. That’s your classic XX vs XY vs the rare “non-standard”. It’s important to note that there are multiple types of different physical configurations that are “male or female” - Anatomical, Hormonal, Chromosomal, and Cellular - and they frequently do not line up 100%.

    Gender is separate from this as a mental construct/thought pattern. For most people, these two things line up, and that is your standard Cis person. A Trans person is where their mental configuration does not match their physical configuration. When this causes significant mental distress we call it gender dysphoria. For the rest, we call it being Trans, non-Binary or something else.

    Isn’t that where they would receive the best treatment for themselves? Aren’t gender pronouns useful when distinguishing between biological differences in the medical field?

    Why would there be a difference between gendered wards in the quality of the care? Health care is tailored to the patient, where in the hospital they are located shouldn’t affect it.

    Aside from the standard dark patterns and extraneous, feature-forcing bloat, I really dislike that flat-design trend. Not just does it look kinda bad, but everything is so physically bloated to try to separate it from everything else that you get notably less usable screen space resulting in annoyingly little information density.







  • At least in my games, finding objects tend to be under as much a time crunch as combat. Especially since locate object has a 1000ft range so if you wait too long the thief/bad guy will get away. Divination and scrying seems more reliable to me. But I agree for other utility spells. The wizard does get many more spells known than they can actually prep, so choosing them is not as painful for a wizard as it is for spontaneous casters.
    Sadly, there is not a good way, that I know of, for getting those circumstancial scrolls without DM buy-in. It does help later in the game when teleporting to major metropolitan areas is viable.



  • I’d probably say Bard is overall the best utility caster besides Wizard, as the Bard’s Arcane Secrets gives you a limited spell selection from any class, starting at 10th level. A little late, but getting ANY 2 spells you want is pretty nice.

    A pact of the tome genie warlock might be worth looking into. You get 3 cantrips more than normal, from any spell list you want. The Marid subtype gets lots of control spells added to their spell list, you get ritual casting, the Genie vessel can be a handy base or safe space for the party, and at higher levels you get limited wish and wish.
