I have never had a supernatural experience and I would like to have one. Blessed be the one who believes without having seen, sure, but one wishes to have a break.

On the other hand, Drew Gooden did talked to the people who work at the SUPER HAUNTED HOTEL and some of the ones who have had ghost experiences don't necessarily believe them.

Plus, Catholics don't really believe in ghosts? It gets messy.

Now, for the real meat of it is how the fuck did DnD end up with ghosts causing level-drain? At most, folk stories about g-g-g-hosts have you die of fright, or age unnaturally, or feeling cold.

None of those things equate to level drain, unless you're implying that killing stuff makes you younger.

But I guess some nerds have different wiring, so the logical chain of "ghosts age you" -> "aging means losing ability" -> "ability in games increases when you level up"-> "ghosts make you de-level" is potentially a thing that could happen.

Naturally, I probably don't have to explain why level drain is a bad thing in game design terms. But man, looking at old TTRPGs is an interesting window into how game design tries all the bad ideas before stumbling into the good ones (may not apply to DnD).

Notable for shooting down U-2s (plane, not band) and keeping USAF away from Hanoi.

Two days later President Johnson gave the order to attack known SA-75 positions outside the 30-mile exclusion zone. On the morning of July 27, 48 F-105s participated in the strike, Operation Spring High. The Vietnamese knew U.S. aircraft were coming, and set up many 23mm and 37mm anti-aircraft guns at the two SAM sites. These anti-aircraft guns were lethal at close range. The Vietnamese shot down six aircraft and more than half of the remaining U.S. aircraft suffered damage from ground fire. However, the Vietnamese had replaced the SAMs with white-painted bundles of bamboo. Operation Spring High had destroyed two decoy targets for the loss of six aircraft and five pilots.

You can see here how a weapon system doesn't have to be destroying targets to impact the warzone. When SA-2s began deployment, they were able to reach out and blap targets at 20km height. Bombers started flying under 3km height where SA-2s can't engage them... but that puts them within AAA gun range. Granted, AAA gun accuracy is rofl lol, but with enough lead in the air...
