[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8358318, member: 87792"] Just because you can only think of one possible archetype for an adventurer doesn't mean that there is only one. For example: [LIST] [*]Someone who wants to make vast amounts of wealth and then splurge it in towns because it's a rockstar lifestyle or to fund their gambling habit doesn't mysteriously have to rough it when they are adventuring [*]Someone who is setting out to be the best like no one ever was can do so as a warrior or a wizard and doesn't have to rough it any more than they have to also become the best at math or flower arranging [*]Someone who is on a quest to rescue [X] or take revenge on [Y] is going to try and avoid dying before their task is complete. [*]Someone who has been ordered to do this by their God or their Patron might go - but that doesn't mean they're going to rough it more than they absolutely have to. [*]An archeologist who wants to find out more about The Lost Knowledge of the Ancients won't be that eager for the "perish" part of "publish or perish" and is going to take precautions [*]Someone who wants to make their mark in history wants to live that long so will try to mitigate the risk. [/LIST] These are all legitimate reasons to adventure and the only metagaming I see here comes from you attempting to force people to be stupid and not use the tools at their disposal. Using Goodberry and the Tiny Hut ritual isn't "hyper-cautious", it's basic common sense. [/QUOTE]
