RPG ClichesHey, ever notice how in about 99.9% of RPGs there are cliches and various things that completely defy everyday normal life? I know it's just part of the RPG fantasy but some of these little things can be very weird. I've collected some that I have noticed here. Let's take a look! 1. It's perfectly ok to enter a complete stranger's house without being invited and take things.
2. Most houses don't have bathrooms.
3. When you damage or destroy property you don't get in trouble or have to pay for the damages.
4. All forests are enchanted.
5. It is perfectly normal to have magical powers. In fact, most people do.
6. Heroes can't be killed, no matter how badly they are injured.

8. If you are seriously injured, sleeping overnight at an inn will completely heal your wounds.
9. A 15 year old boy can easily wield a 15 pound, 5 foot long broad sword.
10. If you are male you are strong and slow. If you are female you are agile and weak. Usually. Unless the female in question is a Amazon. Then in that case it's a different story.
