MRS.TRUE I cast telekinetic projectile as an immediate action. rolls dice. It's a hit.

EVERETT The gall in attacking me, the face of the party!

MRS.TRUE I follow it up with an improvised weapon strike.

DM Uh....Everett's already looking pretty bloodied, did you want to do nonlethal damage?

MRS. TRUE I said what I said.

It's fine. Everett has destiny points to burn, he'll survive a lethal attack!

Everett was lucky that women couldn’t independently own property in 1915

I think women could and did own properties,businesses, etc. Remember Lydia Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound? It was alcohol and opiates, mostly. She did very well, owned and ran her own company. Made millions.

@verity_kindle @AllNewTypeFace Women achieving property-rights equality with men was a gradual process but well underway by Everett's time. https://www.thoughtco.com/property-rights-of-women-3529578
