Please, do not give advice if you do not bother finding out what is going on.FrozenNorth thumbs up for you!<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Yes, you are correct there again. The history and technology is not consistent between our world and history and D&D world and history. For example gunpowder was invented and used for warfare around 1000 AD, but it is not usually included in D&D. People usually consider plate mail and knights to be of much older date than gunpowder, but it is not so. Trebuchet was actually invented after gunpowder. Had we assumed D&D took place at later time with later technology, we would have uniforms not habits, muskets and not crossbows, which most DMs (wisely) forbid. That is why I set the date in my mind at around the time before gunpowder was commonly used or earlier.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You are exactly correct when it comes to serfdom. In d&d I think it is mostly done through monetary taxes, but in in our history of the time the tax was paid by labour or goods. Slavery should be common, too, in some regions... but I think these things are up to DM and mostly they do not want to include that.</li> </ul></blockquote>
