Happy Pride!

10-100 days wages for seemingly a lifetime of prevented deadnaming and misgendering? That seems like a good deal to me.
For the lower end calculating it as minimum wage it’s the equivalent of $5,800.
Not a bad deal, but quite expensive still

Fun fact, in a Campaign I’m playing, my Fey Bard simply “stole” the Deadname of our Cleric and now she has a total of four names and it’s awesome for everyone
The classic: “May I have your name?” blunder

This is priceless!
It sounded like a scene from liar liar to me.

I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they’re about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it’s very Cointidental magic.

I remember roughly a decade ago I worked out that a gold was equivalent in purchasing power to somewhere on the order of $100, and $100 was a nice round number that’s easy to use to get a ballpark feel for what something is worth, so I pretty much always use that. I’m guessing inflation and/or doomsday preppers (or political culture) has significantly raised the price of gold since then. Inflation too.

Had to check that this wasn’t written by Joss Lake as this seems like a device/power from his novel Future Feeling

This sounds like the rpg I have been waiting for

Gotta love a Liar Liar reference

Is it a good price though? The average wage for a commoner is 2 sp per day. The equivalent to 100 days wages for a unskilled worker.
Skilled workers earn about 2 gp per day. So this represents 10 days wages. A better bargain for sure.
Adventurers are always loaded with money, so as players our view is skewed.
have we immediately forgotten what the wizard did? i’d consider a year’s wages a pretty fucking good deal for changing the fabric of reality to suit me
