If only that is the way it really is.

The conservative base call their judges conservative or fundamentalist but often that's simply a code word for "will use personal philosophy to find a way to justify overturning abortion and ruling in favor of the wealthy no matter what".

I'd frickin LOVE a truly conservative judiciary, but that's not what 'conservative judge' MEANS anymore.

Just more Orwellian double-speak brought to you by the weird right wing cultists who've infiltrated and taken over the Republican party ....

I reapportioned a few skill points and took out the Circlet of Persuasion, which also reduces my Gather Info skill ( )

With the extra gold I put the 'Silent' quality on my armor. So along with my Elven boots, I have a +2 overall to Move Silently in my Half Plate. Sweet.

I don't know if that will ever become super useful, but the way I envision it, when investigating, Kato can use his Hat of Disguise to make it appear that he's not wearing full armor, and with the boots and armor quality, it won't necessarily sound like he's wearing armor.

That way I'm thinking that Kato can remain armored in some situations where others don't expect him to be armored.

Looks good to me. I think this is going to be a pretty cool character.

So I'm thinking that we're going to have to flesh out the OB government and court system since I'll be working on their behalf now.

Yes, I think so.
