[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9550581, member: 42856"] Another illustration of the problem of using name that evoke specific things to designate different, original things. There is no reason to think that humans have a single heart in D&D (as far as I know, the lore doesn't address internal organs), or even that they have internal organs at all and aren't just a bag of flesh inside made of HPmatter that regenerate overnight (compliant with healing rules), yet we do assume that, because they are designated as human, in the silence of the rulebook, D&D humans work as humans do. If they don't, maybe calling them humans isn't the smartest choice. In D&D dryads are fey creatures that are associated to a tree, and nymph are associated with natural beauty. While it's not explicitely mentionned that both creatures are related, why shouldn't we assume they are, the same way we assume humans don't have a tail, despite human's lack of tail never being part of the established D&D lore.
