But still no healthcare
Whatcha mean, they got GREAT healthcare in DnD! One might say it’s simply magical 😉
...and expensive enough that you need to be a nobleman or a legendary hero to get it. The cost of the most basic healing potion is enough for a family to eat for a year.
That’s true! Although I have to believe some clerics take pity on the poor and help heal them. But I guess that just points to the system being broken, I mean you shouldn’t have to rely on the good graces of a benevolent do-gooder. The govt should be providing a herbologist and cleric for every village, free of charge!
Most settings have clerics be extremely rare, because the idea of a population that isn't suffering is anathema to the modern mind.
Oh, no, you're mistaken. We have healthcare, it's just that it's a circus that has been lit on fire.
