I am alive in 2022, in this world.That is way too clinical for my game world.  We see hit points and armor class in the book.  I assume the characters might note someone is indefatigable or unassailable without using the terms armor class or hit points.Likewise, they would not say species in my games but might well say “race of men” or “the seed of elves” the progency of orcs, whatever.If we separate game terms from world terms we can solve the flavor problem.All of that said, I am not worried about 10 degrees of Kevin bacon.  All old stuff has some bad connotation somewhere and if we play in an old world you have the choice of abandoning flavor to be clean, make concessions or whatever.  I play well with others so will go with what they hand me and avoid the clinical “in game.”  The Paladin does not know that the Nazis or our real world racists ever existed.  They probably have their own world prejudices.  Probably against gnomish bards but hey</blockquote>
