That murder-hobo part. I never really understood the expression.

It stems from the typical RPG dungeon-raiding parties since the times of Dungeons and Dragons. You have a group of homeless people (hobos), traveling from place to place, killing (murder) almost everything that crosses their path in order to collect treasure.

In all of the campaigns I played in, we bought/ cleared and were given property. The murder part still held true, when diplomacy failed. Between the cleric, the wizard, and the rogue I think we would average 10 languages we were fluent in.
