8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.

50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.

There would never have been any peace treaty, the allies had already agreed that axis surrender must be unconditional.

Japan having one condition would not have matteted, because the allies were not interested in a conditional surrender.

If you ignore the many examples throughout history of more violence being the solution to violence, perhaps you may have a point.

I can go on now?

Everybody always gets hung up on the nukes but I never see anyone complaining about the firebombing which killed many times more people (or the Japanese and their many attempts at biological warfare).

War is inherently bad, and using powerful weapons to end it sooner is the pragmatic and often moral choice. Would you have preferred that the allies invaded Japan, causing millions more to die? Or perhaps simply blocade Japan, causing millions more to die? It's easy to be moralistic when you don't have to make decisions that have millions of lives hanging on them.

Will isn't an attribute/stat in dnd 5e and the only roll one would make for cure wounds is the amount of healing applied.

Coming from the person who said

And I'm not even convinced the earth, on average, is warming rather than cooling

Your opinion is dumb! And that's my opinion.

Of course the Navy, who appointed the captain, know which boat it was, but the newspaper does not.

Fair enough, I should have considered that!
