And the rest is that all of them are safe. No population center is ever in danger from a monster attack because of retired adventurers. I mean, you never gave an answer beyond "yes, there would be retired adventurers" so I am left only to go forward with the idea that no place in DnD with a major population is in danger from monsters. The retired adventurers are always on hand to handle it. That is certainly a different view of the world of DnD. One where no one is ever under threat.Or you could read the rest of the text. You know, this part I specifically called out "Other villages are much more supportive of one of their members who demonstrates the urge to adventure, likely because some of their elders have gone into the world and returned to tell about it." Other villages means that it only applies to some villages, not all of them. If the prescence of the elders who had adventured is the reason for the difference, then that other set of villages... wouldn't have those elders. Seriously starting to wonder why I bothered to find evidence when I'm just going to have to keep repeating it because you don't read it the first time.First off, again, you have no idea what the numbers are. Secondly, the "four most common" does not mean it is in abundance. For example, the "four most common elements found in earth's crust" are Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum and Iron. Iron is 5.6% compared to Oxygen being 46%You are working entirely from assumptions, based on vague wording.Except... it isn't a religious rite. It specifically calls these the actions the halflings take to defend themselves. You are assuming it must be a religious rite, because it makes no sense that they can defend themselves with only sticks and rocks. Guess what my point was? That is makes no sense that they can defend themselves with only sticks and rocks. You are agreeing with me, you just want to blame the writers for making mistakes or it all being incomplete instead of saying that what we have been given makes very little sense.That is a picture of a halfling adventurer in a dungeon. That is not a halfling commoner defending their home. False equivlances are false as you like to say. Also, that Ogre is being chased by animated furniture. Those are cooking knives, which I agree would be useful, but that doesn't change the fact that "stabbing them with cooking knives" is not something we are told. Neither is "using magic to animate the furniture to attack the enemy" despite what the picture shows.</blockquote>
