    Default Elan's name

    (See Merriam Webster's word of the day for August 10)

    Welp

    Thoughts? Do you think Rich put that much thought into it? It's certainly an appropriate name.

    (This may have been previously discussed, but if it was, oops, I couldn't find it)

    Elan was easier to put into a comic bubble than panache. And easier to reverse.

    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.

    I'm sure the Giant put a lot of thought into his characters' names!

    Elan's name suits him very well - style and flair! He's much more concerned with looking cool than being effective.

    No one wants to mention the immortal psionic master race who look just like humans but actually aren't.

    Not a great race choice for a bard (Charisma should really be an Elan's dump stat).

    That's the twist I am hoping for. Xykon is all like "HOLD PERSON" and Elan is all like "NOPE" before revealing that he has secretly been taking levels in Psion this whole time and wrecks the mic right.

    Those devious French, always creating new words after a famous webcomic character.

    Just like they already did with Roy

    Well, with that in mind, the claim by our party ranger that he is a halfling is looking awfully suspicious....

    I played a game where it was just assumed that I was regular human murder hobo, and it was totally super fun when the DM raised opportunities for the rest of the party to figure out that I was actually an immortal aberration murder hobo, with me always having the option of telepathically erasing my "friends" memories of giveaway moments. "Actually, I think you --- REMEMBER IT LIKE THIS"

    Eventually it got too dark and the rest of the party literally fled the continent to get away from the nightmare.

    Mais oui, Roy est le roi de Nowhere.
