Question.

[plusfivedex]

We've had that golem go nuts, and apparently there's a murderous teacher out there. Even where I'm from, that's not totally normal.

So here's my question: Who's looking out for people here? Not just looking out for the Sundered, but anyone. Where I'm from, there are people with awesome special abilities who protect civilians. They're called superheroes. But there's also all kinds of heroes who do brave and amazing things without any of that.

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but I'm not seeing a lot of that here, and it's almost been a month for me. Has anyone else noticed something?

"I... see. Some sort of esoteric prestige class then?"

[plusfivedex]

Prestige classes were a 3rd Edition thing, right? I play more 5th.

Well, to be honest, I mostly play MMORPGs these days.

"3.5 has them als..... FIFTH?!"

[plusfivedex]

Well, yeah! My usual D&D character is a Tiefling Rouge.

Wait till V finds out 5 has no familiars for Wizards anymore....

"Suppose it could have been worse, you could have said Four. Didn't know there was a five though. Can I get a look at the source books? Might see if I can't get an upgrade around here if the Wizard stats are better."

oh boy! XD

[plusfivedex]

Oh! I don't have any of the books with me, sorry. But I have a friend who plays a Wizard, so I might be able to answer some of your questions?

Woah, hold up, does that mean you're a Wizard? That's cool!

You have made V's week

"I wonder if any of the NPCs sell them in town. And yes, I am a high level Wizard, the primary spellcaster of the Order Of The Stick."

[plusfivedex]

That's really impressive! [The party name seems lacking to Kamala, but there's no need to be rude, right? Speaking of rude...] Oh, gosh, I haven't even asked your name. I'm sorry.

"I am Vaarsuvius. Most call me V."

[plusfivedex]

Vaarsuvius? Yeah, I think I'll go with V, too.

It's nice to meet you, V!

"In as much as this odd text based form of communication could be considered meeting, I suppose this has been one of the less aggravating introductions I have been subjected to in recent memory."

[plusfivedex]

Yeah, I guess this isn't the same as meeting someone in person. You haven't been having the best time here, then? Socially, I mean?

[gender_neutral]

"No better or worse than anywhere else."

[A few moments of consideration later there was an additional reply.]

"I must edit my previous reply, I have actually had far less impulse to blow anyone up here than back home, so I suppose this place constitutes as an improvement in general alignment, if not in personality."

[plusfivedex]

Well that's good.

[She thinks. Impulses to blow things up are usually red flags, so less of that is a good sign?]

What is your alignment, if that's not too personal to ask? If it is, no big deal! You don't have to tell me.

[gender_neutral]

"Chaotic Neutral. And yours?"
