Test your D&D (and medical) knowledge

Wheal was a toughie, but I guessed right.

still just 14/16, though. Missed Sandharrow and Erysipelas

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

15/16 for me.

Only got 60% on Scooby-Doo.

 

[Orius]

14/16.

Got Sandharrow and Ialdabode wrong. I should have figured the second one was a D&D name, since it looks unpronounceable.

I knew Nebelun and Anthraxus, but I'll bet Anthraxus tripped a lot of people up. I was tempted to mark Demogorgon as a skin disease (I admit I'm an Orcus fan), but i know better.

You are such a geek

and isn't orius a fungal infection?

Nebelun: a misspelling of the Iconic Gnome Illusionist from 3.0e? That, or an obscure deity from the F'n Realms, and who can ever remember all of them?

Nebelun the Meddler is a gnomish Hero-deity of invention and good luck.

12/16

Next time I'm going to name a character I will take a look in a medical encyclopedia.

15/16, I missed Alinia. in retrospect it seems like that should have been pretty obvious.

Not a bad idea!

I sometimes use a PDR- Physician's Desk Reference- which lists the names (and appearances) of the various drugs on the market. You can probably pick up one at a used book store, since doctors need to keep abreast of the new meds, and some get added every year.

I mean, look at some of the pharmacology names out there:

Astelin - I used that for a Mage
Klor-Con- changed the "C" to a "K" and used it to name a Half Orc Ranger.
Zaditor- another Mage, a BBEG in this case.
