My cycling proficiency test certificate was left in our car which was stolen on bonfire night 1991. When we got it back one of the joyriders had trodden in dog shit and wiped it off on the certificate.
I’d give him that.

I have a cycling proficiency certificate I got in 1979 that I found crumpled in a box when my mother died. It’s a total one off, you can’t get more proficient under 12. It’s got a goldie frame on it.

Sometimes we tend to overestimate our proficiency in languages. I mean, pre-Reform Russian Orthography turned out to be a real challenge that I initially ignored. Tracing "Ottoman names" through Russian gazettes is especially a difficult job.

A lot of people don't know that Nobel laureates get two medals. A real gold one usually kept in a safe deposit box and a gold plated duplicate for public display.

Don't buy an emotional support gun.
If you really want a firearm for self defense, think about how it fits into realistic plans for physical security, and then decide if you want a long gun or handgun, and then decide if you're willing to spend the time and money to become and maintain proficiency.

From killing Quajath, Damocles now has an intelligence of 22 and has proficiency in all intelligence based skills along with some other things he can do once a day that are too long to write out here XD
It's very funny to hear "Damocles you would know this" from the DM many times.

So now with the updated system they removed unique challenges and broke XP requirements down since it's individual levels with milestones
That's fine but they kept the cap on proficiency for arcade, pretty annoying considering these modes are the only way most people will be able to play dp
