Weird timing.

The king is a puppet of a dictatorial deity. The solution is to overthrow god.

I tried that. The paladin Divine Smite'd me

It seems like any sufficiently rich person, like a monarch, could essentially have someone on staff - maybe multiple people - whose entire job is to periodically cast True Resurrection, naming the rich individual. If they aren't dead, the spell fails; if they are, they come back to life, and can name their assassin.

"~~Nanomachines~~ Invulnerability, son."

Is it? Why?

JRPG style

I think they are referring to the No Kings protest going on in the US right now. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/us/politics/no-kings-protests-trump.html

Ahh I see, I thought there'd been some kind of new attempt on somebody's life Living under a rock these days, sorry!

To be fair, I'm not american, and the first thing I thought was "has there been another attempt at Trump's life?" lol

Nepotism, son. It hardens in response to the lowborn existing within 20ft of my person.

If this king doesn't have access to wizards casting every defensive spell in the player's handbook on him every single day of his life, wearing the best magical armor in the world that glamors into ordinary royal attire, with defensive wards cast around his immediate vicinity every day, and he just let adventurers stroll into his castle armed while he was being lax with all these precautions, then he deserves to get Kirked.

Turns out we were in a JRPG the whole time

Nobody would rule by birthright in a D&D world. Any leader of a country would have access to Clone, and would have no need for inheritance.

Or they could just have some Clones.

The king is a puppet of a dictatorial clergy, the solution is to burn the church down with the clergy and monarchy inside.

Bravo on that headline OP!

Why what did I do? I phoned it the fuck in

I think it's lovely
