[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1700216, member: 13654"] I don't see that. It says "you are de-aged." If it DOES mean that you still have knowledge and skills you had before then it CLEARLY does not affect your mental maturity - only your physical maturity. If it affects your mental maturity, reducing it to that of a 15-year old then it's a bit wonky to assume that you nonetheless remember and understand everything you've ever learned about... maturity. I think your entire argument falls apart on the age thing.THAT, however, is true. Even assuming you do retain knowledge and mental maturity you need to come to grips with the fact that you are physically 15 years old and even if you're in good condition you are UTTERLY unexperienced at dealing with the lethality of the world you now find yourself in. You don't have to go far before you can run afoul of people or beasts that will turn you into used food in short order. You likely have no weapons training that will do you a whit of good. If you're lucky you have some martial arts skills or you've swished a sword a little in SCA. You certainly are not a spellcaster. The only things you have going for you are, A) hopefully superior knowledge of real-world physicality than the average dolt on the street in Waterdeep (assumedly that will not have changed - though your DM may not let you make gunpowder in his campaign, who but the gods will stop you once you are PHYSICALLY there in FR), and B) a broad, practical knowledge of the peoples, places, and monsters and even individuals that DO inhabit this new world - which you can therefore avoid and/or put to your advantage.
