Like, for instance, the idea that everyone was dirty, used makeup and perfume to hide how long since they'd bathed, etc. Washer women were part of even poor farming communities, and we there paid in food and supplies. Baths weren't the super private thing they are now, and your meeting with the local lord could very well happen there. People traveled. As is the case even now, most people didn't travel to distant lands, but plenty of people did, and so you might see a moor or a saracen ride through your village in the middle of nowhere, and you'd likely see some foreigners if you go to whatever city is the trade hub of your region. Take that world, and then ask, where is a cool place for satyrs to live in this world? Gnomes? Dragonmen? I'd be all for this. Probably just using the training downtime rules for proficiency.I'd love new weapons and replacement rules for existing weapons to make dnd less sword-biased. Much as i love a sword. I wish spears were better. Also, longswords...are finesse I'm sorry don't derail the thread please! If literally any sword can be called finesse, the longsword is. It isn't heavy, and it's made to be used dexterously and with great finesse and precision. Movie swordfighting with longswords is absurd nonsense.</blockquote>
