But the amount needed for material components is determined by value, not by mass, so by artificially inflating the price of diamond, DeBeerds reduces the actual amount of it required for casting spells, and so helps to stave off "peak diamond".

    DeBeerds also sponsors most of the legendary dwarven gemcutters, whose art likewise increases the price per weight of diamond.

    Next time you die, and the cleric only needs a couple of fancy cut stones to bring you back instead of a bushel basket full of carbon gravel, you can thank DeBeerds.

    * If I contract to harvest dragon parts for components, the dragon should probably be dead first.
    ** I would be wise not to go after parts from the two oldest dragons on the planet.
    *** I probably shouldn't make befriending the dragons my opening move.
    **** If I do, I should not prioritize befriending the red dragon over the gold.
    ***** Neither should the party paladin.
    ****** Getting brought into the invitation-only magical long-range chat network (thanks magic rings) between these two dragons and a top-tier campaign villain is not ideal dragon-part-harvesting strategy.
    ******* I should not freak out said red dragon so much that that I get a permanent bonus to intimidate against him.
    ******** That goes double for freaking out the red dragon WHEN HE'S STONED.
    ********* It is both bad dragon-harvesting strategy and bad dragon-befriending strategy to occupy a superposition between "too useful to eat" and "too irritating not to eat" titled "Shroedinger's squishy wizard".
    ********** At no point should I actually TELL the great wyrm red dragon that I have a contract to collect one of his body parts.
    *********** If I drone on and on and on about it long enough over our communication rings, the red dragon will not teleport to my position, pluck out his own eyeball, hand it too me, get regeneration cast on him, and teleport away just to avoid further irritation.
    ************ HOW THE HELL DID THAT WORK????
    ************* Wizards are no longer allowed to have +43 to diplomacy checks at level 15 (pathfinder).
    ************* The next(!) time I have a great wyrm red dragon teleport into the heavily-armed military camp of my host (also a befriended top-tier villain) on a peaceful mission of organ donation, I AM TO GIVE MY HOST WARNING.
    ************* Though it's a proven strategy in this campaign, "Unpredictable people are hard to assassinate" does not come anywhere near fully explaining why I'm not dead yet.

    You can use olive oil instead of butter in quite a lot of pastry. Puff pastry would be difficult (albeit probably not impossible), but pie crusts, cookies, cakes, etc. are all options. Walnut oil probably would work about the same.

    I’m very curious about a place large enough to have multiple shops, but has no access to animal fats. No butter, ok, no dairy critters. But surely there’s some kind of critter with fat on it that could be used for cooking.

    i'm not saying you shouldn't have exploding goat demons in your game. all i'm saying is if you encounter a greater demon lord bound inside the body of an irate goat, don't feed it consecrated gunpowder and holy alchemist's fire to solve the problem is what i'm saying.

    my group's paladin still hates me for that stunt, especially since whenever i pop explosives in pathfinder, it tends to solve most pesky problems like ecounters, interrogations, chase sequences, or the plot. the fact that this one time it actually worsened the problem is really unfortunate, and as stated before, an accident. i only had 5 lbs of gunpowder to feed the malevolent goat.

    For plot there is a paladin spell that involves less explosions than explosives yet allows swift evasion from plot.

    Even if there is an infinity of diamonds the cost of getting the diamonds within your hands is not zero so even if diamond was as common as dirt the cost of getting a small mountain of diamonds within your hands would be superior to the cost of the fancy Resurrection and so you could perform it with those diamonds that have the extra value of being usable for casting the spell due to being in your hands.
    At worst you can just add artistic value on the diamonds by paying 25000 gp for an artist to just sit near a furnace and melt the gold coins for "getting inspiration" in deciding how to cut the diamonds.

    * My initial description of D&D to newcomers should not be "the game where I got knocked out by a table and then killed by a rug" even if that happened. Especially if that happened.

    * If I am given a magic crystal that ultimately wiped out an island nation, I should ask more questions when given a second crystal. Especially if I am neither evil nor chaotic.

    * If my wizard deals direct damage precisely one time when going from levels 4 to 10, I am doing something very, very wrong.

    * If a 5e halfling re-rolls a natural 1 on a perception check and rolls a 1 again, he has not, in fact, gone blind.

    * A recap of the previous session for a player who missed it should take significantly less time than the session itself.

    * Getting turned to stone by a basilisk is not "Karma" for stealing the paladin's kills.

    * Just because you think you've triggered every single trap in the campaign so far doesn't mean you should give up attempting to solve the puzzles.

    * A performance check of 25 to play the "Ghostbusters" theme still does not have a significant effect on the combat when fighting a ghost.

    * Deciding how to spend 10 starting GP should not take up the lion's share of character creation.

    * Attempting to intimidate a dragon after missing it three times in a row is unlikely to have much effect. Especially at level 1.

    * If our party's inability to focus fire on enemies turned the last 3 encounters into near TPKs, The first round of the next combat probably shouldn't complete without a single player attacking the same enemy as the player before them.

    ****Reusing that character as the Johnson for pretty much every oneshot I end up GMing afterwards is pretty much fine though.

    Fun fact, the only Shadowrun campaign I have run so far included not a single betrayal by the Johnson. There was one or two cases of Johnsons not having or giving all the information, but for the most part they were honest.

    It worked brilliantly, made the players even more paranoid waiting for the betrayal.
