Mass effect did that pretty well with the frog species.
Their avg lifespan is only like 35 years and as a result they move and talk much faster than other species. But they're still aware of the overall shortness of their lives compared to other species.
I know a lot of people homebrew this to be different in their games and that's fine, but just to clarify to anyone curious, if we're talking D&D 5e, elves mature at the same rate as humans, and the reason they only consider themselves adults at 100 is purely cultural.
I’m confused. In what way does sarcasm break paladin oaths? Not even devotion paladins would break their oaths via sarcasm. Here are the tenets of a devotion paladin:
Tenets of Devotion
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.
Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.
Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.
Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.
Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.
In all honestly, I don't believe it would be, but I'm sure it's a trait viewed as less than appropriate as it could be viewed as rubbing against the ideals of honor and honesty.
Well, the way Oath is worded, I would say that nothing was
promised and in that way sarcasm is not a lie. But maybe that's more about rules as written against as intended.
