minus-squareUmbrias@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down2·1 year agoTake a lighter to a rock. Fires leave char. There are very few combustion systems with a pure enough burn to avoid it. That’s not rules lawyering at all. If a player asks why they didn’t spot that the easy answer is they didn’t realize it was char.

minus-squareUmbrias@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·1 year agoSynonyms. And sure, that’s another explanation agm could use, I wasn’t being comprehensive or I’d be here forever.
minus-squareKichae@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoChar is burnt bits of the object that’s being broiled. Soot is the incomplete product of comustion of the fuel. They’re not synonyms, not anymore than “waves” and “tides” are. And if you have a high enough oxygen environment, propane won’t leave any soot.
