D&D 5E Meet the Japanese Iconic D&D Party!

The Japanese language release of D&D 5E is happening this year, and WotC has created a new 'iconic' pregenerated adventuring party, illustrated by Chomoran, as part of the launch.

The party consists of:

• Cal Skiprock, lightfoot halfling rogue
• Lafail, half-elf cleric of Selune
• Atria Dawnguard, a human fighter
• Oldscar, high elf wizard
• Turalish, dragonborn fighter

piss off It's misinformation and I am tired of it being spread.

Mod Note:

Watch the language & attitude. Keep it civil.

Whatever the topic, it is never appropriate to tell another member to 'piss off'.

The Elf's ears aren't nearly large enough for the culture that made Record of Lodoss War.

Otherwise, I like it.

Blizzard made the World of Warcraft Elves. It's a culture clash now.

Tonlet Armour had skirts for protection of hips and groin area

How do you ride a horse in that thing?

That's one short half-elf.

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

That's one short half-elf.

A halfling is half the size of a human, so a half-elf must be half the size of an elf!

 

[Tonguez]

That's one short half-elf.

Maybe its a half halfling half elf, making it tall for a elfling

They should have LONG been establishing a market in Japan. Japan is the perfect place for D&D considering their love for Euro-fantasy and RPGs. Their video games were entirely inspired by D&D. I remember the first Final Fantasy having SPELL SLOTS! (and not MP)

Question is, when the hell is WotC going to explore beyond Euro-fantasy? Still have yet to see an Asian-fantasy campaign book. This is the perfect time to redo KARA-TUR!

Update, not redo Kara Tur, you can't decanonize the novels, and Kara Tur has appeared in some and referenced in others.

But after over a hundred year time jump and two world changing events (Spellplagu & Sundering), I guess the defence is not gling to be noticed by most.

The novels have no impact on the game at the table. They never have for the majority of D&D players
