D&D Goes International

[Rashak Mani]

I remember making up nationalities once as D&D races... Brazilians all had bonuses in Bluff, Soccer and Diplomacy. Immunity to Command and to Lawful spells. Chaotic Neutral tendencies. Favored Enemies were Argentinians ! Can't remember it all though...

The rest wasn't exactly nice to americans... but basically americans were Lawful Evil and couldn't chose Knowledge Geography or Diplomacy skills...

In that case I think Americans would have a -10 penalty to Diplomacy, unless they're armed.

But if armed, we go into a Rage if provoked...and not neccisarily at the right target!

Well, I'm sure it always looks right at the time...

Didn't you forget that Profession (chef) isn't available, but all meals of the "fast food" quality have their price reduced by one coin type (so 2sp becomes 2cp)?


When we're at it: the British can have Profession (chef), but they have an inherent -20 racial penalty to all rolls involving cooking. You know the stories.

Sweden:
2. Horned helmets are always questioned as the Vikings never actually wore horns.

Wrong! The following link to a picture of an ancient, ancient artifact from Scandinavia proves incontrovertibly that vikings really did wear horned helmets: http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=7015-1

I never took the risk... lived 3 years in London and never ventured into british "cuisine"

It's mostly lard and offal.
