[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8697056, member: 6801228"] No Max. Different mechanics don't mean different lore. Halflings have been depicted as supernaturally lucky in AT A MINIMUM 3rd, 4th and 5th edition, and problably in 2nd edition, since that is where most DnD lore tracks back to. But 3rd edition was still over twenty years ago, so that's plenty of time to call out the trope. It doesn't need to increase, because the narrative is ALREADY THERE. the comic book was an example of the narrative that ALREADY EXISTS. Not the mechanics, the narrative. Right, how could anyone expect that their super strong barbarian, who we say is super strong, would do something a super strong barbarian could do. That's just silly. You just seriously don't get how people's expectations work, if you believe this. So now it is that they are braver not because they have advantage on saving throws against the frightened condition, but because they have an ability called bravery. You care nothing for how that impacts the game, you care nothing about if it makes sense. Halflings are brave because they are brave and have an ability called Bravery.
