I strongly suspect the difference is no one thought Iraq was anywhere near having nukes.
It makes no difference legally, but if I had to guess, it's what is creating a different reaction internationally.

"A FAIRY song?"
"It is almost certainly a fairy song."
"Oi fey."

"I have a plan."
"Okay."
"It's a really good plan."
"Okay. What is the plan?"

Still Not Done with PF1: Fire Sling Spell
I always thought flame blade should have a ranged equivalent, but it did not occur to me to base it on a sling until I was drinking my first cup of coffee this morning...

A Nonein Board allows you to perform a ritual to not communicate with spirits of the dead.
It is almost 100% successful.
#SpiritBoards #UrbanFantasyItems
A DvoΕΓ‘kja Board allows communication with spirits of the dead with fewer ritual movements, and less theosophic strain. It takes some getting used to, though, and should not be used without extensive prior experience if asking anything that is spelling-sensitive.
#SpritBoards #UrbanFantasyItems
An Emouija Board allows you to communicate with spirits of the dead with simple icons, such as smiley face, eggplant, poo, and the-person-who-murdered-me-is-right-behind-you, which is surprisingly popular.

#GameNightQuotes: (Circa 2022) "I pass a beartrap up to her so she can clamp it onto a tree and trail the chain down for us to climb up."
"Heh. You and your bear-traps."
"Hey, when the only tool on your sheet is a bear trap..."
"Everything looks like a bear? But, in this case, it's a good idea."
"Poor Justiciar"

"The Necronomicon. People say 'Don't read that book, it's EVIL!' banning books -- So much for the tolerant heroes. And someone got torn apart by invisible stalkers. INVISIBLE? Isn't that convenient?"

"So, do evil gods create undead? Well, what would they get out of it? Nothing! Just competition. But GOOD deities? Undead create something for paladins to do, a reason for people to donate... I'm not saying anything. I'm just asking questions."

Step 4: Classification
When classifying the elements of your ghoul outbreak, it's important to gather information as you go.
Do the ghouls sleep, or fall unconscious? This is a strong indication they remain tied to biological imperatives.

"The crow dropped a business card on the picnic table next to me, cawed loudly, and flew away. More out of route reaction than curiosity, I picked it up and read it. 'Augustus Fox, Gig Sorcerer' was emblazoned across the top in ornate gold script. Under that, there was a URL."

Some folks noted the Haste Bear art @jacobblackmon.bsky.social did based on one of my Arcanimal ideas looked a bit like a bat-bear. And WOW is a bat-bear a terrifying hybrid concept!
So, I wrote it up.

Really, what kind of reaction did Dr. Frankenstein expect from a monster that had just been jolted to life with lightning?
Some shocking behavior isn't the monster's fault. It didn't know how to conduct itself.
In the US, if a sandwich including meat has 2 pieces of bread, it is regulated by the FDA.
But if it just has 1 piece of bread, it's regulated by the USDA.

That's it. That's the whole post.
#GameNightQuotes: "Don't worry, we can save you. By which I mean the cleric can raise you after 5 days."
"Five days?! I can raise him the next round!"
"The next round?! It took you five days to raise me, after I died!"
"Well, you were extra-dead. You'd stayed dead beyond your 'best raised by' date."
