@Kat@snouts.online the only flaw in this is that they were willing to actually hire a couple thousand peasants but they couldn't bother to just. buy a ten-foot pole. which is a staple d&d item
@autistikai @Kat a ladder costs less than 2 poles
@monorail @Kat@snouts.online my point is that with the arbitrarily large amount of funds to hire all the peasants the price difference should be negligible
@autistikai @Kat they probably got the money to hire the peasants by buying ladders and selling poles
@monorail @Kat@snouts.online ok You Know What that's a reasonable explanation but also can you imagine. an adventuring party. that spends their days turning ladders into poles instead of adventuring
@autistikai @monorail @Kat Level 1 cheeses are a whole special category of D&D character optimization fuckery.
Most of the best level 1 builds are wizards who cannot actually cast spells. They've sold their spellbook to achieve hundreds of times their intended starting wealth, and then bought something weird with that.
