It's something that no one HERE is saying, and that the 5E DMG hasn't said.It is something that's been said many times and places - see again, James Bond in "You Only Live Twice", or the depiction of Persians in the "300" movie. Whether Rudyard Kipling or James Clavell said it, is arguable. But that's not a topic specific to 5E, nor to D&D. It's a topic at the general level of all RPGs, and also a great topic for the personal blog of someone raised in the USA who then lives in Japan.Dwarves, of course, ARE exotic and alien creatures, and their warrior class is stereotypically motivated by honor. They just don't talk like "this humble third son of Borin wishes to offer the honorable PC the opportunity to purchase this elaborately-forged sword". Instead, they talk with the same quasi-Scottish accent as Long John Silver.</blockquote>
