[@jackielinde7568]

@@MemoristCed I'd tell you to blame the Jackass TV series, but as a former teen boy, I can tell you that they'll probably be doing that even without any outside media influence. The good news is that there's a good chance they'll outgrow it, if they survive to adulthood. My advice is punishment should be a 500 word paper into subjects like "Safety practices of Hollywood Stuntpersons Union" and "diseases caused by head trauma" (Lots of studies on former NFL football players for that last one.) You'll need to keep an eye on them to make sure they're not letting ChatGPT do the heavy lifting on those.

Okay but the irony that rangers can quite easily have a legitimately kind of ridiculous number of languages with my half elf ranger (who didn't even take background languages iirc) my reaction was just "I grew up in a forest how did I learn 5 bloody languages and at least two that neither of the two people I'd come into contact with know either" then I multiclassed rogue and it became 6 languages or something and she also will learn more languages throughout the ranger class lol

I feel like Antrius is only just starting to use magic because up until this point he was so focused on banging everything that moved and didn't move that he completely forgot he could even use it. Then he used it by accident and went 'holy shit, I could make my life SO much easier'.

[@NWolfsson]

Antrius: Okay I know I've only learned Elvish on the cushions, but DAMN that was bad. And we know it was bad because I was NOT the one to antagonize everybody.

[@jackielinde7568]

I think we need to take a moment to appreciate that, for once, not only was Antrius not the one who caused issues this episode, but he also had a hand in defusing the situation.

The ranger's voice is what sweet dreams are made of. Besides, that is the most realistic depiction of a human learning elvish, as it is usually hinted that elves are considered adults at 75 years old because they have to study for years the elven culture and language.

[@PalleRasmussen]

100, and it is not to study as their minds are keener than those of Humans, it is because their years pass slower. I refer you to "Morgoth's Ring", and "The Nature of Middle-Earth".
