[QUOTE="Gammadoodler, post: 8194054, member: 6914290"] I get it. I've been on the other side as well. It's strange here. We disagree on how dangerous D&D worlds must be. The difference between us is that I don't think you're position is wrong. It's just your opinion. I've pointed out my opinion on how they hide their village and you dismiss it without adequate justification in my opinion. Note that my version hasn't involved the divine intervention which you dislike so much. But if you'd rather avoid a reasonable interpretation that fits with how halflings are described in favor of judging to them defenseless, ok. Disassociated just means they're encountering the world with a different, perhaps less informed, perspective. Hobbits were disassociated from broader Middle Earth. Was that bad? And now we get to the section where you move some goalposts, because now it's defense that's eating into halflings good time. Covered the underlying setting assumption above. And...now we're going to circle back to the damn spices..again?? I'm not even sure what you want here. Please see the section in my previous post, directly above the spaced out sentence. Our experiences are different..which means that they are different. [/QUOTE]
