[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9293804, member: 22779"] That's not quite what I mean though. I'm talking about the day to day use of various D&D elements that probably should be taken into consideration when world building. Take something as simple as Fire Beetles. They're a 3 foot long beetle that sheds light without heat. Something like that would be hugely useful. Both as a light source and a food source. A city lit with fire beetles would be far safer both from burning down regularly, and also safer for the people living there. There's so many things in D&D that are only there because it makes adventuring easier but would radically change a society if accessible. As this thread shows - 1 2nd level ranger/20 soldiers (not exactly a hugely difficult thing) means your army needs zero food and 1 cleric per 100 soldiers means you need no water. That would totally rewrite military history. I know, we just sort of push all that stuff off to the side. Kinda like a functional economy. :D [/QUOTE]
