Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 8181523" data-attributes="member: 6801228">Poor reading of my question, because I typed too fast. "How many of those human, elf and dwarf towns and villages with their retired adventurers are completely safe from monsters attack?" was the question. I meant the ellipse and paragraph break to be a long pause, didn't think about how that would effect the reading for you to completely ignore the fact that I was talking about elves, dwarves and humans.Facts are facts. The text says that some villages have Elders who were adventures. Not all. So there are going to be no retired adventurers in some villages. Also, you have no idea what the population numbers are, and are basing your "there are about as many" number on pure speculation based on their being a core four races. It could be that human adventurers make up 50% of all adventurers in the entire world, and the elves, dwarves and halflings are just the next biggest populations. You have no idea.So you agree with me that the lore write up for halflings makes no sense. That I am right. Because you just said that "common sense" tells us that halflings have to have more than this. You then are asking me if I have any military tactics beyond the only military tactics listed in the lore for Halflings. Why don't you tell me. Is there any mention of halflings in Mordenkainen's using weapons other than sticks and stones to defend their villages? Is there any indication that by saying that the tactics (which are regarded as the Goddess favorites) are simply religious excersises and not actual military tactics? Especially considering this: "In this way, the halflings get practical experience in executing measures that are designed to help the halflings defeat kobolds and goblin raiders, or even take down an ogre. When the time comes to put those tactics to use in earnest, everyone will be ready." is right before they start going into the tactics? You are free to tell me what common sense dictates. I'm telling you what the book says. And if you think what the book says is wrong, well, it was a long journey, but I knew you'd see it my way eventually.</blockquote>
