The Golden Cockerel - an inn/tavern that chiefly caters to land owners and especially wealthy farmers.

Darkvision/Infravision? Hm...it may be a magical item. Did you have a consumable resource in mind?

Goodberry is broken in the Baldur's Gate CRPG, because you can generate massive amounts and store them for later; in actual tabletop (A)D&D, the healing effect is a nice bonus, but these divinely-infused morsels of natural goodness are handy because they obviate the need for bulky rations...as long as berries can be procured.

Elsewhere, someone had commented that the original character image (do not view the middle to bottom of the webpage unless you are thoroughly familiar with the lass) reminded them of Princess Victoria of Sweden. Me, being absolutely clueless regarding the reference, looked up the woman in question; sure enough, I now agree. Both Skie and Victoria are nobility...though the former is a sheltered Thief desperate for adventure (I can't speak to the proclivities of the latter ). Given the fact that other portraits from that same CRPG are based on real people, such an inspiration wouldn't be a terribly surprising "revelation", if true. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- This seems like a roundabout way for people who support the status quo and believe us to be falling away from it to call themselves strong and their opponents weak, ie. an elaborate ego-stroke. Basically just saying, "Things were bad, then people like me made it better, and we made it so great that now ungrateful people are trying to wreck it because they don't get how great I am and have been at all moments in history. I guess I'm just too awesome for my own good, poor me." People have different ideas of what's authoritarian and what's not, and what's "good times" and what's not, based on their personal ideology, it's not an objective scale by any measure. This perspective of yours has many unspoken assumptions baked into it, both about what constitutes authoritarian societies and what constitutes good versus bad times.

Apologies if the video response is off the mark, but I couldn't be fully certain if you were, well...you know...or if that was a drive by pasting. Hm. Assuming you were...what sort of character did you have in mind?

Here is another lesson: just because I know something, other people may not know the same. This sounds simple, but it has tripped me up/disappointed me more times than I care to count. Never take knowledge for granted. --- --- ---

Yeah, she definitely bears a resemblance to Victoria.

I must admit, as a 3.5e to 2e convert, I am not firmly opposed to opening up classes and easing level limits for demihumans if the DM has a clear idea of how things fit together, but I completely understand why folks choose to abide by those restrictions. When it comes to D&D, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Halflings and the like are not human (in their thinking, their communities, their physical essence, et cetera); the more you force these fantasy races into the role of "humans with funny suits", the less magical they become.

Maybe dreams are the universe's way of disposing of excess creative energy?
