Going to try to stay on topic, but explain my thought process about updating the orc. So what makes an orc and orc, at least in D&D, is that they are savage, evil killers. They are not supposed to be sympathetic characters. Now, say in World of Warcraft, orcs are a noble species with a proud...

Okay. Wow. That is some incredibly dishonest editing and is not at all what I said. A more complete quote would be "But the thing is, I don't think this is a problem with the description of orcs". I then start the next paragraph saying that the problem is describing real people as being like a...

I wasn't able to read all 18 pages, but the original quesiton is "What makes an orc an orc?" Well, I happen to have a Monster Manual printed in 1979 (4th edition) and it actually has a lot to say about orcs. We can ignore most of the stat block, Frequency, No. Appearing, and stuff like that...

Mindra would move up, hide as a bonus action, and shoot one of the raiders. She can hide even when only lightly obscured by natural phenomena (maybe smoke?), but if she can't find somewhere to hide or something to obscure her she will try to wait until someone is engaged if she can (hopefully...

While that is an interesting anecdote, it does not match my own experience. I played in the early 80s with a few female players and not one of them questioned the limit on female strength. The fact is men are, on average, stronger than women and it is also a fact that no woman is as strong as...

Mindra immediately follows after Theremin to back him up.

Mindra takes up a position to cover the area while her friends exit the hut, and is ready to follow whichever way the rest of the group heads. Insight check: 1D20+6 = [5]+6 = 11 I guess I am open for any of the options, the Walls or gates may allow for a quicker win and then bring...

Very sorry to hear about your aunt. You have me sincere condolences.

Feeling adequately inspired after her breakfast and Theremin's pep-talk, Mindra jumps to her feet at the sound of battle. "I think it is time to repay our hosts for their hospitality." Mindra will poke her head out of the hut and try to get an idea of what the situation is outside. If it looks...

Yep. I am all for a long rest. :)

"Thank you for your generous offer," Mindra says with a smile. "We would be happy to join you for supper, and a place to rest would be wonderful. Our trip to this place has not been uneventful." Mindra follows Salor to wherever the meal is being served. She will also pull out some of her...

"Perhaps it would ease your mind to learn that Essess has won its independence and controls the south. As Helveki controls the north. And while I won't pretend that there isn't still mistrust and resentment between the 3 nations, there is no longer open hostilities. "That is why a group such as...

Just wanted to post that I am still keeping up on this thread. For this part Mindra will just be observing. She can weave a decent lie when she needs to, but this seems more a matter of diplomacy, which she will leave to those more suited. So she listens to what the people have to say and looks...

"897 is the correct year, but this place is not the place we left just this morning. So, no, we do not know where we are, and we did not come here intentionally. And for that matter I am not from the Empire. Irine broke from the Arideen Empire in 869, although we are still closely aligned. No...

"Owyn asked for guarantee of our safety. Do we have it? Also, what is the year? A strange question I know, but these are strange times. We enter a crumbling tower and exit one intact. We head back to the thriving town of Bredon and find no trace of it. Just your few dwellings." Mindra continues...

"I am Mindra from Irine," Mindra says with a nod.

Mindra will leave the talking to those better at it than herself, but she will try to get a read on the people facing her and her companions. Trying to tell if they are hostile, afraid, or suspicious of the group. Also how they appear in general: proud, confident, contented, worried or...

Sorry to hear about your grandmother.

Wisdom save: 1D20+4 = [7]+4 = 11

"Well perhaps we should head towards the town and at least see what we can see." KahlessNestor, I don't know why I completely forgot about the status at the top of all your messages. It's super handy to have that information there. Sorry about that. Mindra is a little low on HP, but otherwise...
