Urinating from tall rocks is an ancient tradition.
I see no problem here.

Hey, gotta agree, no kink shaming allowed!

You know, I think I'm just going to read it as printed when my group gets to that part & see how play goes.

Not an official D&D rulebook, but an official TSR book, so it counts In all of the original Dragonlance novels, they keep calling a halberd a "hauberk" Every time. Although, it is mighty impressive for Flint to cut a draconian in two with a hauberk...

You guys, “peeing” isn’t the typo. The “an” is the typo. It should read “You see a two-wheeled infernal war machine ...”

Also, if you want typos, pick any random page in the Eberron book. You’ll be guaranteed to find at least one, and it may even be hilarious!

Burning question: was the wind hot before said peeing? Can I get a Intelligence (Nature) check for that?

 

[Wiseblood]

Smiler looks relieved...to see you.

In the french translation, I remember the translator always mixing gnomes and goblins. Some scenes in book quickly became quite confusing.

The question is if you shake his hand.

Given the context of the sentence, what word other than 'peeing' works?

One doesn't really 'peer into the wind.'

It's supposed to be "peering" but maybe "squinting" makes more sense.

Squirting what?

 

[DEFCON 1]

One doesn't really 'peer into the wind.'

And as Spinal Tap said to Arsenio Hall about the title of their new 1992 album Break Like The Wind... the wind doesn't really break, does it?

Here's the thing, when I first read that (and up until this point) I didn't get that it was a typo- I thought, cool- Wotc are at last acknowledging the everyday bodily functions of normal folk (and crazy NPCs). I was going to play the guy with a gurning nonchalance, continuing his unabashed toilet as the PCs pull up on their Infernal War Machine du jour.

Kinda, check this out- see how unafraid this guy is of you.

No, really...

Cheers Goonalan

I also like this one, from The Lost Mine of Phandelver (page 44).

I don’t get it.

It should be "paying the miners" not "paying the minors".
Unless the old dwarves exploited some kids, you never know!
