The image isn’t showing up for me, but I’m pretty sure I know exactly what it is anyway 😆

I’m not making any attempt to represent Nordic cultures

Why are you asking me?

The Christian Bale version specifically learned his techniques from Liam Neeson’s Ra's Al Ghul (the world’s most Irish ninja). So, my first thought would be a Way of Shadows monk. Fighting unarmed also works well, since Bale’s Batman consistently keeps to the no guns rule, which I could see...

Thats fair. Delicious in Dungeon is very lighthearted (it has dark elements, especially in the back half, but the tone is overall pretty light for the majority of the runtime), and the focus on cooking isn’t going to appeal to everyone.

Ok… I’m just going to back out of this conversation now…

Are you suggesting you have elven heritage…?

There are real cultural folk beliefs about elves. D&D elves are, at best, loosely inspired by those folk beliefs. They are a copy of a copy of a copy (of a copy of a copy, etc.) that make no claims of accuracy to the source folk beliefs, and indeed often intentionally deviate from those folk...
