Is that some kind of company? Or am I missing a very obvious joke?

How do you know all that?

But they are polished equally on each side, right?

The pearl does not get consumed though. Buy it once, use it indefinetly.

Statistically it comes up 5% of the time you use a hero point, so yeah, about as often as rolling a nat 20.

I habe no idea what this is, but it sounds incredibly whacky.

Wait what?

Because a flying Rhino is a pretty absurd rules interaction.

From playing a Sci-Fi campaign once, I can confirm that this is true.

"Should jail sentence time be based on race?" will allways be one of my favourite posts ever.

Thanks for pointing this out, that’s better than what I could've said to explain it. The DM can always make changes without adhering to any limitations, but if they are a good DM, they'll at least try to be consistent. And that’s the least I expect from professional writers. (And I similarly expect them to wait for the actual rules of the system to be published before writing an adventure.)
