I don’t know who said this, but I want to amplify it because it is undeniable and insane. Please retweet. WHEN WE WANT TO INCENTIVIZE RICH PEOPLE, WE GIVE THEM MONEY. WHEN WE WANT TO INCENTIVIZE POOR PEOPLE, WE TAKE IT AWAY.

Don’t think of wearing a mask as a hassle and a pain. Think of it as a magical item adding +3 to your Constitution that also grants a saving throw to everyone in your party.
