I took a sacred oath, sir! I can't serve you Mr 40 year old Drow or I become an oathbreaker. Sorry, not sorry.
Meanwhile, "Let's see... anthropomorphic mosquito... Let me see that ID. You're 2 hours old? That checks out, here's your bourbon.
Tbh when your life is that short, you can't really see the consequences of your actions, so you might as well get wasted 24/7
When your life is that short, you don’t perceive “short” the way humans do anyway
Mass effect did that pretty well with the frog species.
Their avg lifespan is only like 35 years and as a result they move and talk much faster than other species. But they're still aware of the overall shortness of their lives compared to other species.
Due to the tragically short life span of the average fruit fly,
College is not really an option.
Caps and gowns don't come in that size anyway.Fruit flies do love their booze though. The best trap for them is baited with wine
Well, 24/3.
It takes five days for them to go from a larva to a pupa. They're definitely not an adult, and they couldn't be confused for one.
I know a lot of people homebrew this to be different in their games and that's fine, but just to clarify to anyone curious, if we're talking D&D 5e, elves mature at the same rate as humans, and the reason they only consider themselves adults at 100 is purely cultural.
Nah man I'm part human on my fathers side so it's fine!
You broke your oath with the last sentence.
How does sarcasm break my oath? As a lawful paladin I don't care if they're mad about being blocked from doing something illegal.
Now I'm just imagining the
veganpaladin police "oh yea"-ing through the tavern wall and giving you paladin oath tickets."What do you stealing that healing potion is against my oath? No one caught me!"
I’m confused. In what way does sarcasm break paladin oaths? Not even devotion paladins would break their oaths via sarcasm. Here are the tenets of a devotion paladin:
Tenets of Devotion
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.
Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.
Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.
Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.
Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.
As you can see sarcasm isn’t mentioned.
Kelek's breath, I was mostly being facetious!
In all honestly, I don't believe it would be, but I'm sure it's a trait viewed as less than appropriate as it could be viewed as rubbing against the ideals of honor and honesty.
sarcasm is lying with a tone that is supposed to indicate irony. it IS lying tho
Well, the way Oath is worded, I would say that nothing was promised and in that way sarcasm is not a lie. But maybe that's more about rules as written against as intended.
