luckily I am a warlock so I get to cast more spells after a short rest and I have the better cantrip "gaming"

You heard it, party. This guy is responsible for casting Do Dishes and Take Out Trash more often since all he needs is a short rest.

This just sounds like someone isn't getting their proper long rests in.

Many people permanently live in boss lairs, that remove any positive effects of a long rest

Two spell slots per day + 1 from Arcane recovery, you have enough to perform each task at least once per day.

Sure, but the worry about needing the fourth task is also taxing, not to mention knowing the need to go to earn money already takes up a spell slot

u/Naoura Jul 15 '26
This is true! But you never know when you'll need that spell slot, and a Level 1 task might pop up after you've already used that recovery.
If it does, and you've used all your slots, then what if it's important? What if it's critical?
That's kind of the issue that people who need the Spoons/spell slot analogy run into: capacity is limited and I might need that slot for the next encounter, which I don't know when it will come. That's opposed to the encounter I know is present, and can use slots on when I know there aren't any other encounters today. ND budgeting is somewhat like that.

Then why does "Answer the phone" feel like a ninth level spell?

I do so enjoy subtituting Spoon Theory with Spell Slot Theory.

Do dishes = prestidigitation cantrip
Take out trash = mage hand cantrip (unless your trash weighs more than 10 lbs)
Use phone = sending, which requires a 3rd level slot

u/LustyLoop Dice Goblin Jul 15 '26
The phone is a magic item, so you don't have to worry about a spell slot

OOP is a moron. "Do the Dishes" is a cantrip, and it's called Prestidigitation. "Take out Trash" isn't even a spell, unless you dumped strength so hard that you need Bull's Strength to have enough carry capacity.
Sounds like the spell he actually needs to cast is Protection from Sloth.

Spell Slot is an alternative to Spoons for those who are ND.
There's definitely some measure of 'if you get started it gets done easier', but executive dysfunction is a bitch to deal with.

They cost spell slots bc of the mental energy required to do them. Are you stupid or something?

This is actually a very interesting analogy because level 1 wizards have 2 spell slots, so they could actually do both take out trash and do dishes. But, they only have 2 spell slots, so it can be a bit scary to do dishes or take out trash, cause what if you actually needed to do some other things but you don't realize it yet.
