This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well, it's obvious. He isn't a humanoid spellcaster, he's a celestial. Quite literally. In this book's frustrating diversion from established D&D terminology, the humanoids simply call celestials wizards.

I think it's mildly funny how when WotC got their hands on some LotR rights to make MtG cards, they still typed Hobbits as halflings.

But then the halfling token for the set is labeled as Tolkien Creature - Halfling instead of Token Creature - Halfling.

Lord of the rings predates D&D though.

Yes I'm aware Lord of the Rings is not D&D fanfic, thanks. Twas a joke.
