No it's not.
If WoG decides that a spell to create a shadow sword isn't viable, you might have luck with a spell that makes a real sword temporarily disappear as the user wills and that armor can't 'see'. A sort of concealment of the sword from other objects as needed.
If it's alright with you, I'll use develop as a catchall, because we don't know if an advanced trait is available.
We... we already have it, though?
You know you wrote an omake on this, right?
That's fine; sorry to be a bother.
...So you're saying that BoneyM is the Horned Rat? Is that what you're telling me?
Boney is quite possibly one of the most consistent QMs I can name. Like, top three in total consistency over time, but only because the other two have been posting for years, and his content output per day is particularly impressive even by their standards.
Curious who the other two are. One has to be Judge_Mental on SB; Xander Quest missed...I think one day when SB did their XF2 switch? but before that it's been years even if they are significantly shorter posts. Not sure who the second would be.
Wasn't aware of the WoG on it being plausible. Wanted to offer a backup just in case you ran into trouble.
@DragonParadox is easily the most consistent GM I've known.
Yeah, @Judge Mental and @DragonParadox. They've both got absolutely ridiculous word counts on their quests for a reason, but in terms of post-per-post sizes this quest stands out even then.
Are you saying we could have risked wolf? I am not sure how I feel about that plan.
The point still stands, nothing in the quote implies that approaching is safe.
If this were true, why would Belegar have sent Kazrik to go find out if the dragon were our enemy or not?
Oh duh. Dunno how I didn't think of that; I followed it religiously for a good two years.
This is a good point; as an introvert, nothing is worse than leaving the house, dealing with some annoying tasks, finally getting back home... and then being bothered again just as I've gotten comfortable. It's much less aggravating if my phone rings or whatever while I'm already up and about.
I mean... "Attack the dragon" is right there on the list of vote options. I am pretty sure that is a stupid fucking idea. But I guess I agree with "doesn't post trap options" in the sense of "there aren't going to be non-obvious 'ha ha you lose immediately' consequences"; obvious risks of the course of action still apply.
He has told us that he is not going to pull punches either.
Well, they don't post trap options in the sense that 'Take a relaxing vacation at a campsite' won't end up with us running into the bicentennial Bloodthirster Barbecue, but they're willing to apply the normal and recognized dangers of actions we choose; 'Fight a Master Vampire if you see a chance' has the accepted danger of getting into a fight with a Master Vampire, and we're down a never-replaced-our-spleen-club membership card for the occurrence.
I agree with your post in general, but pedantry compels me to point out that was a write-in that he added as a joke after people had been talking about it:
