    So wait, you’re telling me I could just be walking down the street, minding my own business, when some jerkass wizard from another universe merges our realities or whatever to heal my doppelganger? I’m out 6 HP because of some guy who doesn’t live in my universe and I don’t even like got hurt?

    I’m imagining as a consequence to doing this all the time, eventually the wizard is going to have a class action lawsuit against them from all the innocent bystanders they’ve hurt. And just imagine the legal complexity of serving all these suits across different universe’ legal codes. This wizard’s going to be bogged down for an eternity in the courts.

    In all the multiverse, there’s got to be someone who specializes in parallel-universe case law. A Parallelalegal, if you will.

      Damn, this gives me an idea for a PC: Raz is a novice dunamancer who believes he has the worst luck in the world until he realizes that his wealthy and successful alternate self has been manipulating fate to always be in HIS favor instead. Now the only thing Raz wants is to find and kill his other self and take back what fate owes him.

      Did you have “parallelalegal” in mind before you wrote this or did it come to you after? It’s brilliant and will be stuck in my head for a while
