Issue is that it’s too easy too abuse. There’s tons of precedent for it.

1. I said they’re “not morons”, not that they’re “smart” or even “smarter than me”.

2. As if it would be any better if I was losing against someone who is dumber than me?

I’d assume that politicians at this level generally aren’t morons, they’re assholes and probably corrupt.

Or maybe just don’t ejaculate on the ground you filthy bastard. I’m sure they had like leaves or something if they couldn’t afford tissues.

I take it the group isn’t actually supposed to fight this demon? I’d generally assume that a group would already have magic weapons once they meet strong enemies that they aren’t expected to run away from. Especially if it’s a recurring enemy.

Sounds more like he’s saying that democrat policies are useful to him than that he was progressive. AFAIK the Clinton admin was the opposite of progressive in economic terms.

I mean, did he ever claim to be progressive? I thought progressiveness is “woke”, i.e. bad according to the MAGAs.

They’re certainly losing some mindshare, but they seem to be replacing it with more crude forms of dominance. e.g. the EU is offering concession after concession in response to tariff threats.

What about a kobold riding a t-rex?

Good point.

Counterpoint: Many groups have trouble discerning between a regular encounter and an encounter they aren’t supposed to fight.

Dragons are pretty high level-threats in D&D, which most players rarely get to fight because most campaigns don’t last that long. Which does make it a bit weird to name the entire franchise after such a rare enemy.

I assume that’s supposed to be a codpiece, but it sure looks like a chastity cage …

Unless you’re in the middle of a major plague or have a ridiculous amount of war, peasants in a medieval-style world who survive young childhood should generally get to an age of about 60. Though getting old with medieval-level medicine while working a physically demanding job probably sucks hard.

Her being allied to Trump does not bode well for the regime after Maduro, though. We already know that Trump likes to push his politics onto his allies/vassals very overtly, and that would go double for a recently liberated (or “liberated”) south american country. That is, if she would actually be willing to not be a capitalism-flavored authoritarian without Trump (I know very little about her TBF).

The winner is a trumper anyway.

Not really. D&D characters have jobs (unless they’re unemployed), the class just describes a set of skills that would (hopefully) be useful for that job. Class is more equivalent to a university degree or trade school diploma - it usually suggests certain jobs, but those skills are usually useful and sought after in many different careers.

Warriors can have many different jobs, like bodyguard, townguard, soldier/mercenary, robber, brigand, monarch, hunter, or something completely different like university professor and the character just takes their exercise regimen really seriously.

Uneducated is probably best. For all we know, that barbarian is conversational and literate in 3 different non-common languages, can communicate in 6 and has a doctorate from a far eastern university - barbarian is a class, not a job or ethnicity.

In the real world, there are many places with a high density of non-European languages.

Many powerful people like to make people believe (and possibly believe themselves) that they’re just rulers. And it’s just plainly more effective when your underlings are well-informed of your intentions (assuming you’re not trying to set them up). e.g. imagine if the knight thinks that a dragon is a direct threat to the king and burns down the countryside to hunt it (any means necessary etc.), when in reality it’s not a direct threat to the king at all and you were just supposed to keep the countryside safe from dragonfire.

Of course, the entire premise is that it’s not obvious to the knight why a dragon must be killed and what are acceptable means to achieve that. e.g. in Faerun’s Sword Coast, you’d expect that every knight is well-informed about this.

A+ character concept.

An orca on land wouldn’t be too difficult, and knowing what a whale is wouldn’t be metagaming unless being uneducated is part of your backstory/character.
