The impact of pay on job satisfaction: What do people really think?

"Que opiastnss con cuanti pagan" is a phrase in Spanish which translates to "What are your thoughts on how much they pay?" In other words, it is asking for opinions on the wages or salaries. When discussing this topic, it is important to consider various perspectives. Some individuals may believe that the amount they are paid is fair and satisfactory, while others may argue that they are not being adequately compensated for their work. Factors such as job responsibilities, industry standards, level of experience, and cost of living can all influence people's opinions on payment. Individuals with more demanding or specialized jobs may expect higher wages, while those in entry-level positions may be more accepting of lower pay. Furthermore, opinions on payment can vary depending on cultural or societal norms.

The problem with the Homorphus Charm is that it has to be cast close to the target, and I don't think two 13-year-olds were going to be able to get close enough to Lupin to do it.

It s a lot easier attacking somebody who just murdered your best friend then somebody who was best friends with your dad and is one of your only decent DADA teachers. Well, you can use the charm given by Sam and the common defensive spells given by CHT64, and if you can t think straight and you re in panic, just run.

Furthermore, opinions on payment can vary depending on cultural or societal norms. Some cultures prioritize factors like job security, benefits, or work-life balance over monetary compensation, while others value financial rewards as a primary motivator. It is important to consider the broader context when forming an opinion on payment.

How Can You Identify Lycanthropes?

Assume the PC's know of a village that contains "some" werewolves. Is there a magical way to discern who are werewolves and who are not? Just curious. Thanks!

Uhm, I'm pretty sure evil peasants exist, w/o being lycanthropes.

Maybe also try a heal check to detect disease, since it's an affliction?

Wait until a full moon, and have lots of silver weapons on hand?

It may be a high Knowledge Nature DC.

Force them to eat Wolvesbane?

I'd try to avoid letting the PC's waive their "magic wand" and figure it out.

Let it be a detective story. Try to figure out who the Big Bad is through old fashion means. Remember, at least some are going to be involuntarily turned and you are better off trying to cure than to smite them. This is especially true for the more alignment conscious people.

As a matter of Rules though (rather than just opinion) I don't see any spells that would allow you to just cast and detect. At least not in the core rules.

True Seeing looks like it might do it- but only if the individual(s) in question have changed into hybrid or animal forms.. Not terribly useful for the Hybrid form but it could show you that the pack of wolves hanging around wasn't actually a pack of wolves.

In folklore, there are some traditional signs associated with weres.
Such as hairy palms, 1 eyebrow, or having your ring and middle finger be the same length. (If I recall correctly.)

So you could make a case for allowing a k(something) roll if the GM was willing to set the precedent.

One of my players (I'm the DM) briefly mentioned some type of "silver light" spell? I'm not familiar with it. I don't own Ultimate Magic but checked the PRD and didn't see any such spell in it. Maybe it's an old 3.5 spell?

I have ways of allowing perception and knowledge checks to potentially identify who are werewolves and who aren't, but even then it wouldn't be 100% foolproof. I just wasn't sure if I was missing any obvious spells that might work. Thanks!

Buy up all the copper and gold coins with silver and see who refuses to handle them.

Not sure what level you're talking here, but I would think true seeing would be rather revealing - but that's probably up to the GM.

Plus, detect evil would work fairly well, since it not only tells you whether evil is present, but also how powerful it is.

Edit: Also, anything that forced people to tell the truth would also be pretty telling, especially if the townsfolk were made aware and cooperated.

if any body shows up naked covered in blood the morning after a full moon! dead give away

Druids used to be able to do just that with a knowledge Nature check. :D So I would put it there, and just lower the DC for druids or other lycanthropes especially to identify their sub-species type.

While there is no single foolproof detect lycanthrope spell, the PCS, if they use their ingenuity, should be able to figure out a lot over time. Detect evil could certainly narrow the field, if they have a way of covering everyone. If they can question people, zone of truth would as well. True seeing would be great, of course, but by that level you probably aren't too worried by normal werewolves.

Combine these magicla aids with good old-fashioned detective work, and detecting lycanthropes in a small village population shouldn't be impossible.

Of course it becomes much more difficult if the people don't trust you or don't cooperate with your investigation.

I could picture animals being able to sense the predator in the human body by their enhanced senses - try to use animal companions, buy some hunting dogs, half orcs with scent or shapeshifted druids (and ask your DM if this idea is viable ^^)
Try to tease the beast within with some raw blood - bring a recent slaughtered pig or something like that along
Use strong smelling herbs and smoke - at least mythological werewolves should have some problems with that (since it's originated in rabies and rabies make you dislike any strong smells) - especially for the herbs, ask your DM if you can make a Knowledge (Nature) roll or something like that to remeber what werewolves hate (garlic, thyme, rosemary. )
Use other stuff like wolfsbane, for example eucalytpus, rye or mistletoe

Holding an appropriate bane weapon against their skin would be pretty effective I think. In this case a silver weapon would be equally effective. '

Hold a fancy dinner party and see who avoids the salad fork.

Were's also tend to have exaggerated personality types associated with the wereform. Werewolves for instance will tend to gather in packs even in thier human form and will play out the same kind of dominance issues.

So look for groups of people air-humping each other to show the other one who's boss. Probably just guys actually. It seems like a very guy thing to do, Then just hose the whole group down with alchemical silver.

Best option I can find is Locate Creature (Bard/Sorc/Wiz 4). *If* you have seen the particular kind of lycanthrope up close before, and there is a lycanthrope within range, it should be able to locate it.

Interesting (and humorous!) ideas. I'll have to see what my players come up with on their own and report back. Thanks!

You could allow for a combination of knowledge (local) and perception checks to pick out some of the details that others have mentioned. But really, Know(local) would be the important skill to figure out who/what a werewolf was.

Local (legends, personalities, inhabitants, laws,
customs, traditions, humanoids)

You can use this skill to identify monsters and their
special powers or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of
such a check equals 10 + the monster’s CR. For common
monsters, such as goblins, the DC of this check equals
5 + the monster’s CR. For particularly rare monsters,
such as the tarrasque, the DC of this check equals 15 +
the monster’s CR, or more. A successful check allows
you to remember a bit of useful information about
that monster. For every 5 points by which your check
result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful
information. Many of the Knowledge skills have specific
uses as noted on Table 4–6.

Werewolf
Human natural werewolf fighter 2
CE Medium humanoid (human, shapechanger)

Druids used to be able to do just that with a knowledge Nature check. :D So I would put it there, and just lower the DC for druids or other lycanthropes especially to identify their sub-species type.

Factors such as company profitability, economic conditions, and competition within the job market can all influence the amount a company is willing or able to pay its employees. Ultimately, opinions on how much someone should be paid will differ based on individual perspectives and circumstances. It is crucial to have open discussions about fair compensation, ensuring that employees are being valued and fairly rewarded for their skills and contributions. Additionally, government regulations and labor laws play a significant role in setting minimum wage standards and protecting workers' rights..
