[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9299280, member: 2209"] Well the 5e PH does say on page 45 that "ADVENTURERS ARE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE, driven by a thirst for excitement into a life that others would never dare lead. [b]They are heroes,[/b] compelled to explore the dark places of the world and take on the challenges that lesser women and men can't stand against." Pretty much from 2e on the PH has framed the party as heroes. 4e from the cover: "Player’s Handbook - Arcane, Divine, and Martial Heroes" page 4: "You take on the role of a legendary hero—a skilled fighter, a courageous cleric, a deadly rogue, or a spell-hurling wizard." 3.5 PH page 4: "D&D is a game of your imagination in which you participate in thrilling adventures and dangerous quests by taking on the role of a hero" 2e PH: "First, the AD&D game is a game of heroic fantasy." Also "The warrior group encompasses the character classes of heroes who make their way in the world primarily by skill at arms: fighters, paladins, and rangers." And even "The profession of thief is not honorable, yet it is not entirely dishonorable, either. Many famous folk heroes have been more than a little larcenous—Reynard the Fox, Robin Goodfellow, and Ali Baba are but a few. At his best, the thief is a romantic hero fired by noble purpose but a little wanting in strength of character." In the 1e PH if you search for the word hero you get that as the class title of a 4th level fighter and a few references to heroism potions. 1e generally talks about adventurers for its framing.
