>>43300596If we want to be nit-picky, we should point out that your filename doesn't make any sense, weakening it as a joke, since no spell is being cast, the sequence takes longer than 6 seconds, and involves the character clearly moving beyond a 5 foot square.
Something that splits the difference might be "Affecting NPC dispositions" "Unusual Skill Choices" or "wasting a 20".
>>43302281Your analysis reminds me of a scene in that TNT original movie The Librarian: Quest for the Spear. "It's a complex language. Romance syntax, with some mesoAmerican verbiage, greek influences, and a hint of Egyptian...
It's just Portuguese, I was overthinking it."
For one thing, those aren't peacock feathers (No eyes), looking closer to Quetzal tails. Trickster gods and figures are in EVERY pantheon, and Shrunken heads are exclusively a Mesoamerican phenomenon, co-opted by Caribbean and Voudoun traditions.
It's pretty clearly a Not!Aztec civ with some artistic liberties (You're totally right on the Lions, mace, and building designs.).
