I've done extensive research into this, and I emphatically refute this. Too much sunshine while you're drinking sangria, however, that's a different matter.

They must have shoved the proctoscope up quite a bit further than usual...

The Black Forest isn't a forest. It's a mountain range.

Wasn't there already a meme with Miss Peggy as Eowyn? "But moi is not a man. Hiyaa!"

I remember at school, being told that peasants had to tithe 10% of their income to the local lord, and how the whole class was outraged. Now I look back and think, "I could stand to live with a 10% tax rate..."

"Ring-giver" is the term mostly used in Old English, if I remember rightly. Golden rings and armbands being a great way to keep your wealth secure on your person. But don't forget the feasting: that's why Hrothgar built Heorot, as a place to feast his people. The fact that Grendel interfered...

"Fittest" in the sense of "best fitted", or "most suited".

Years ago I introduced a baby dragon into my campaign that needed to eat gold in.order to mature and grow. The party started to dislike it very quickly.

Cool! I have the core book and Ancestral Vault, and mined both extensively when one of my campaigns found itself in Africa (leaving a trail of destruction in it wake).

Huzzah!

Huzzah!

I base my paladins on the Church Knights in the Elenium books by David Eddings: warriors trained in battle and magic specifically to protect humanity from supernatural evil. The mundane evils of the world aren't a concern for my paladins. Sure, they might not be happy with thieves or corrupt...

Sloth.

Thanks for the replies, people! I'm glad to see that there isn't a clear answer - makes me feel better about the hour I wasted yesterday pondering the question.

It's been a few decades since I saw the movie, but this morning I was listening to Queen's "Who Wants To Live Forever?" and a thought struck me. These immortals spend hundreds or thousands of years fighting each other until only one remains. That one last immortal is given a gift: mortality...

This whole discussion is pointless, because the character - male or female - isn't a warrior. As anyone who's ever played BECMI should know, they're a fighter.

I'm surprised no-one brought it up before now. Like you say, the outrage.
