I have to say that of all the options with a shot at the top I rather dislike the Ranald one, it feels sort of impious. What I mean by that is that is assumes that Ranald is watching and has nothing better to do than to send us stumbling into a social encounter. In my opinion that is a misunderstanding of what Ranald is. He is the god of Luck not the god of Fate, he does not arrange for what will happen to you, he gives you a little extra luck once you have made the gamble, made the choice.

One day I want to see Mathilde lead men into battle so we can get to see her give a pre-battle speech. She's got 18 Diplomacy so she may even be as good as Gelt.

Most of Mathilde's Diplo score comes from her understanding of psychology, not from charisma and leadership.

I admit that there is some overlap, but I wouldn't expect her battle speeches to be exceptional.

Dice Roller • Orokos.com

Orokos is a tool site for role-playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition, allowing players to upload characters from Wizards of the Coast's Character Builder program and providing a dice roller and attribute calculator.

Praise be the wayback machine, for preserving the lore of the ancients! Sadly it doesn't go beyond 2018, so no rolls of more recent events.
For whatever reason, it's still possible to go to individual rolls if you have the web address, even as you can't access Boney's list.

It seems like Orkos' search system is broken, so all the data is still there, there's just no way of categorising it. Individual rolls, therefore, still work, you just can't find them, or view large numbers of rolls at once.

I just had a thought... You know that meme about Dragonas being a dragon in disguise? The one that has gotten a bit more serious of late, but not that much? Well I just realized something, the journeyman Dragonas got lost in the Dark Lands, at that point he would only have access to journeyman magic right? So no turning into a dragon, not even close... then he walks to Cathay and on the way he somehow reinvents from scratch the Transformation of Kadon only you know... with improvements. That seems very unlikely on its own, but it also made me think of something else, the Transformation is not just about dragons. You can turn into a Chimera or a Manticore or even a giant... at least that is the case if you are actually using the spell.

@Boney as far as Mathilde knows has Dragonas ever turned into something that was not a Dragon (in terms of capital M Monsters I mean, something that would need battle magic)?

It would be a really nice world if law and justice were as interwoven as Verenans seem to think they are. She doesn't have an opinion on Verena Herself, as she's never met Her.
How does Verena fit into Mathilde's faith? Disdain for Sigmar suggests that she has some amount of faith in gods other than Ranald, and while she may not care much for Verena's version of wisdom and justice, there does look to be some pretty strong alignment with Her knowledge aspect.

One thing that can be said to Verena's credit is that ultimately she is the goddess of justice not the goddess of law. Laws can and should be changed in order to achieve superior outcomes, and an unjust law is no law at all.

The next best thing to a cop that stays bought is an honest one even if you minimize the importance of The Protector, and an honest one can be better even then if you know their levers.

Verena at worst is a misguided worthy adversary who has done nothing to wrong Mathilde that she knows of. As compared to Sigmar, The Poohead.

B'sMMV

She doesn't. Apart from Ranald and Sigmar, Mathilde follows the College standard policy of 'that's not my department' towards the Gods of the Old World Pantheon.

[screaming in frustrated philosopher] :mad:

English long had a thousand words of approval for good outcomes, desirable outcomes, moral outcomes, superior outcomes, and such. By contrast, it used to have approximately one word, "justice", which meant the law-y outcomes which result from consistently applying the law. There was no such thing as "unjust law" because justice is defined by law.

Then people started appropriating "justice" as yet another word of approval, and this ends up quasi-retconning a lot of people's understanding about historical law and justice because of the different relation those words stand/stood in, while undermining the thing that there now is no single word for. "Rule of law" comes close, but is more about the process than the result.

Old-Justice provides a rare and underappreciated good: consistent predictability.
New-Justice is underdefined: if it appeals to a sovereign person or group, then it is will posing as law; if it appeals to a higher law then the question is of priority-within-law rather than "unjust" law.
 
@Exmorri
You are wrong as a matter of fact regarding the historical use and etymology of the word "justice" in the English language. As to the rest of your post, this isn't the appropriate thread.
