which country has the most military might? is it currently at war with any of its neighbours? if no, why not?

Definitely the halflings. They’ve taken over the entire continent and driven the more technically-minded gnomes largely underground (physically and metaphorically) by imposing their nature-centric religion on them. They aren’t currently at war with anyone else but that’s likely to change under the new Emperor

If i remember correctly, Greater Restoration only gets rid of a single point of exhaustion, so it would not be very cost efficient to try and abuse the system that way anyway

That fact definitely slipped my mind LOL you’re absolutely right.

man the suspicion marks work nicely. im usually not against point buy but that single post made me question every character i have ever build that way

Fun fact: I gain XP every time some questions their character due to my post. A few more and I will finally be ready to have the real power.-Mod Pencil

As I grew up, I didn't watch anything from the USA except for some cartoons. So the first time i actually saw you was in Big Bang Theory. But the voice your character had in the german translation was kinda annoying. So when I stumbled upon Tabletop later, and heard your actual voice i was positively impressed. I don't know if you ever heard the voices you get in other languages but I'm sure they are not as awesome as your real voice is.

I’ve heard from a lot of Germans that whoever dubs me in Germany gives me an incredibly annoying voice, whether it’s TNG or BBT or a show that doesn’t have a three word acronym. 

The thing that’s I guess sad and amusing about this all at once is that through the 90s and into the 2000s, I would get emails or letters from people in Germany who just hated everything I did, and they had this impression of me that didn’t line up with the performances I did or characters I played. It wasn’t until I went to a con in Germany seven or eight years ago that I found out why.

So I just watched the Alien: Isolation stream and I'm struggling what to call it. I though of Allie in: Isolation because you were alone but I like Allie: Intoxication more tbh

what countries see espionage as a Major Offence and which ones accept it as "part of the great game of politics"? also, how developed is the information infrastructure in this world?

oh Nibal for sure is appalled by the idea of spying. They regularly send out envoys to just learn stuff about the rest of the world, why would you keep some of that knowledge secret?

Humans and orcs though? So much espionage. Dragonborn families are constantly trying to find out info on each other but that’s just part of the culture, kind of a game, kind of not

oh i love worldbuilding questions

is there a unified religion in the world, or does each country have their own unique deities? or are there many religions based on the same deities but with a fundamentally different qpproach to worship?

Each culture has its own religion to some extent, though elf religions are subtly different interpretations of the same animistic core. Orcs and human also worship the same gods but in different ways - it’s a large part of why they don’t get on

There’s a fair mix over the world though: polytheism (in several different forms), monotheism, animism, dualism, ancestor worship, and the idea of living gods can all be found in various places

i didnt think i would love the idea of imperialistic halflings this much xD who are their direct neighbours and (assuming they know about their aggressive nature) have they considered a defensive alliance?

They have not! Their nearest neighbours are elves (a former empire going through its own stuff) and humans (racist). They’re also really good at propaganda honestly?

I’ve tried to do a thing where the stereotypes are largely outside perspectives? Like, orcs are seen as warlike bc humans control that narrative, halflings are seen as chill and friendly bc they control that narrative (ahem british empire, canada ahem)
