My friend explained the spoon theory to our DM and he was like “ohhh so it’s like when you’re out of spell slots and you need to take a long rest to regain them all” and now I keep thinking of myself as being out of spell slots instead of out of spoons
It’s perfect actually because taking a shower is like a 2nd level task, whereas making an important phone call is a 5th. If you’re out of 5th level task slots, you can’t do that phone call. However you can expend higher level slots to take that shower if you’ve spent your lower task slots on dishes, eating, and getting dressed.
THANK YOU FOR REBLOGGING THIS FRIENDO BECAUSE THIS IS A PERFECT COMPARISON AND IT HAS RESTORED ME
…suddenly spell slots make sense to me. ok all magic users in dnd are spoonies it’s official
i want a story about a wizard who has to decide whether or not to make that call to the astral plane she’s been meaning to get around to or eat breakfast.
