    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    Can you resist burying your head in pedantry to actually respond to my point sometime? Also dropping the false binaries would be great. Both, and several other things, try and keep up, I shouldnt have to hold your hand. What I mention would functionally eliminate what we see if the world we...

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    Well if that's what you're saying then you're misrepresenting me for some reason. Now, the vast majority of Adventurers are, in essence, mercenaries, and their personalities tend to reflect a life of brutal combat and lethal encounters. I cant speak for the stupidity of players cringily...

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    I dont know what this vague statement is supposed to mean. Nothing I guess? Things I said: Anime Bounty Boards are retarded. Things I didn't say: I dont know what the bounty boards are for. Do I really need to go into all the ways GS society, and consequently the Fantasy Anime it's aping...

    *Ahlandra visiting the monastery or whatever after the goblin cave fiasco* "Yes, I'm here to see the girl I brought here the other day who was injured" ... ... "Oh. I see."

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    In Oblivion the Fighters guild is just flat out a Medieval mercenary company that's adapted to "High volume, small scale" work (though nothing says they don't participate in larger conflicts), and profits off of having a great reputation and relationship with the government. They even have a...

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    The difference might sound blurry in summary, but trust me in end result it is quite jarring. In DnD, there are innumerable guilds, with many different purposes, including many mercenary companies. As a part of a fighting guild, you certainly don't have a little character card that lists your...

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    Leaving aside certain quirks of game mechanics (Like A cat being able to reliably kill a man), Imagine four strongly built farmers with Spears, Crossbows or slings, and maces (Common weapons, every peasant is proficient with one weapon). Remember also that people in DnD are supposedly tall...

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    Only if your setting is retarded. Thats the difference between say, DnD, where your average first level adventuring party is a group of four career soldiers who operate like a swat team, and Anime, where your average first level adventurer is a child the village doesn't want to feed anymore.

    Where did it say the ingredients are easy to find? Or inexpensive if they're easily located? Theres also, yknow, disease.

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    In DnD you generally play as some kind of Mercenary who gets stronger the more battles they win. Where that leads is entirely up to the writing of the campaign, the direction of the DM, and the choices of the players.

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    Notably, in DnD, the setting 99% of japanese fantasy is crudely copied over from, actually doesn't share in these video-gamey problems. 1. Guilds are either mercenary companies or... companies, like, an actual guild. "The Adventurers Guild" isn't a thing. 2. Weaponized monsters are extremely...

    What screams "the author didn't think of the implications"?

    Are cobras actually cheap to keep and breed? I mean, theres loads of Sci Fi with good explanations as to why that's the case.
