You're missing the point... you are supposed to be highly skilled adventurers at this point who can face threats and adversities the vast majority of the population can't. And more than likely you have the added benefit of magic to go with the knowledge you've gained from adventuring (or...

Is this generally how fantasy genre fiction plays out? You're an archer who can slay dragons but failing to shoot something to eat is how you die? Its absurd. Not to mention there is a profession based around individuals highly trained (some would say solely trained) to deal with this very...

You don't see how the type of challenges PV's face are connected? Edit: i have the personal physical or magical power to protect a city or kingdom... but I'm felled by strong rain or not being able to catch a rabbit to eat? That makes sense to you?

Well the PHB does give us guidance on tiers of play and at 5th level (2nd tier)... In the second tier (levels 5–10), characters come into their own. Many spellcasters gain access to 3rd-level spells at the start of this tier, crossing a new threshold of magical power with spells such as...

5e at least... has this. The attutudes of NPC's or factions act as a clock that the DM then decides how many actions are needed to shift it towards the desired result. 5e also has downtime actions that can influence organizations.

I'm probably biased because my sons both read comics... of course it's on their tablets with a digital subscription to Marvel.

Ironically most believe this Conan more true to REH'S incarnation but the movie flopped hard.

You're seriously arguing kids under 13 dont read Avengers comics?

Id love to have age demographics on those who've read the original Conan stories... also of those who think those stories (not the character since then we'd have to define what incarnation) are relevant to current fantasy and current D&D... then finally for those who think the racism and...

That was kind of my point... he's more famous and relevant as a marvel character/sometimes superhero at this point than for any of the original REH stories... the characters being redefined for modern audiences.

Was he a superhero also?

Conan was In regular Avengers as well. Or is that not for kids as well?

I find it ironic that D&D is called out for kidifying and superhero-fying (or whatever derogatory term you want to use for it's direction) in contrast to many of the tropes of older pulp sword and sorcery when the poster boy for that genre is literally being made into a superhero on a...
