Well, you know the saying, “A watched author never gets boiled in his bubble bath!”
And how are they expected to write if you don’t boil them?
He’s been hideously horrible with this “so called” work thing, he spends like 12+ hours a day 7 days a week obsessing over it, rather than doing what he is supposed to do, which is what I tell him do! Which is write!
It’s really boiling my cauldron! [cursing]
More’s the pity.
We could really do with more me’s. There are times I am so busy that I wished I could clone myself, like Gelatinous Cube does. That would be such a nice feature to just split in two and then regrow the rest of yourself.
Well, not everyone can be you and recognize people by smell from the other side of an infinite plane
That’s basically the discussion in OOA. Supernatural beings look at more than just physical appearance, they look at auras and animus/mana levels etc.
There is a lot more to recognizing “a god” than physical appearance. So imitating someone else is difficult to do when the other people know the individual well. Obviously, not that hard to fool mortals.
It just seemed kinda obvious that that’s how things would work. Otherwise it would be super easy for extraplanar beings to impersonate each other. The only other ways they would have to identify each other would be secrets, codes, and links, and you couldn’t have a link to everyone and wouldn’t want to let everyone know who or what you have links to. And secrets and codes can be compromised. I bet all the gods and higher powered beings recognize each other mostly off of their animus. Obviously any devices would be a lot more specific and exacting, but demon sight or saint sight or god sight can probably recognize people pretty well. Like remembering a face vs facial recognition software.
Obviously this wouldn’t work when they are in disguise and are hiding their animus in some way, but when they are with allies and trying to prove who they are, its a simple method that would be almost impossible to fake.
Difficult or not, it SHOULD be discussed. There’s bound to be treasure and lands that could be utilized if secured.
