[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8783942, member: 6801228"] Where are you getting nine? I said they looked TWELVE to THIRTEEN. That is a far cry from NINE. Also, guess what? Noble children WERE getting advanced educations. You know that many "children" in medieval times were considered entering into adulthood by thirteen right? And they were expected to have begun their formal training because the were definitely adults by 16 or so. Training including philosophy and a bunch of other advanced educations. By 16 many of the second sons were moving on to being journeymen for jobs like lawyer or theologians. Also, you have to remember that in 5e, level 1 is still an apprentice, not a full fledged wizard. So, yeah, they are just a ittle bit into their formal training. These numbers line up. It is you making things up like claiming the youth in the picture is nine years old, or that thirteen year old nobles weren't getting advanced educations. Right, because we don't have a god-like world-shaking child spellcasters in DnD. Like in Eberron. Wait, is this where you got nine from? From the High Priestess of the Silver Flame in Thrane? The explicitly DnD character. All I used the strixhaven art for was the age. And, you know, wizard colleges exist in DnD. You know, like in Eberron. Even have artwork of it, but those are students riding the magic brooms, not faculty, so I decided not to use that picture. But fine, we won't use the art from Strixhaven.

Does that make you happier that I can point to artwork from the Forgotten Realms too? Do I need to scour every book and find every spellcaster?
