D+D in your language (new words, post #23)

I was actually waiting for Rav to answer this
Rogue: Dief(that's actually thief, there is no good translation for rouge...)

We don't have one in English either.

 

[Flyspeck23]

"Dungeon" seems to be imported, because "Verlies" and "Kerker" are more for "Prison". Also, for "Wizard" the term "Magier", the German equivalent to "Mage", is possible. Otherwise, there are two spelling errors: "Gutl" is correctly spelled "Gut", like "Schert" is actually "Schwert". "Nahkampf" is probably more "Melee" than "Combat".

Sorry for not checking this last reply, as it sums up my last post pretty good (and therefore made it pretty pointless to begin with).
Anyway, I would've still made that Barvarian joke


[Edit: ]

Rogue.
As in: a rogue is not (necessarily) a thief.

Spanish:

Let me correct... Rogue is not "Bribon" but rather "Bribón". Slight difference.

Archer: Arquero
Spell: Hechizo
Fireball: Bola de Fuego
Mount (the noun, not the verb): Montura
Dwarf: Enano
Elf: Elfo (The tolkien one, the other is "Duende")
Halfling: Mediano
Orc: Orco
Armor: Armadura

So you're saying you think "a dishonest or mischievous person" pretty much sums up the D&D Rogue class?

Finnish is a damn cool-sounding language.

The only NON-DnD book my gaming group always kept around in our satchels was a Suomi-English dictionary.... just for that reason alone

Check again.

I think he's saying we don't have a proper English translation for rouge - though I think "blush" comes rather close.

No. What I'm saying is: a rogue is not (necessarily) a thief.
Never said the Wikipedia-entry was exhaustive.
