[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8696264, member: 23751"] Hmm. I assumed that since this was a 5e discussion that it was a 5e comic book. Are you telling me that this comic that's supposed to upset 5e players because the comic lore doesn't match game lore isn't even from 5e and therefore has about as much relevance as the ant that just walked past my pool outside? 4e halflings are not 5e halflings. Awesome. So we have a crap shoot where some stuff kinda sorta matches up, and some where it's absurdly different. Hell, even your example here isn't a perfect match up. The books didn't specifically say HOW the moons affected wizards. The Dragonlance D&D rules invented that whole cloth. The Spellfire from the books was a LOT more powerful than the D&D version. So no great match up there, either. I read a lot of the FR novels from back in the day. What makes the 4e comic book not match up to 5e? Well, different editions for one. Different mediums for two. Vastly different strengths for three. Horrible, horrible match up. The racial ability is, though. I can't recall a single other race with Bravery as a racial ability. Can you? Cool. I have a friend who has an amazing Middle Earth game that he runs using his own system. There have been times where my Dunedain was by far the tallest one in the group, since Dunedain are known as the "tall men." And then there have been times where I've been in a group of Dunedain and we were all tall. None of that meant that the Dunedain aren't taller than other human cultures. Another example. The entire group is halflings, so are all very brave! Being a halfling in a group of all halflings doesn't mean that the race isn't braver than other races. Being in a "crowd" of 3-5 other brave people doesn't mean that the halfling race isn't braver than the other races. It just doesn't work that way. [/QUOTE]
