71a. Additionally, replace "light skinned/dark skinned" with "attractive/ugly" respectively.

Waitta second -- did you just disrespect D&D (intentionally) there?

It's not just D&D.
Fantasy in general tends to give the protagonists' and other sympathetic races light skin, reserving the darker skin colors for orcs, goblins, underground nasties, etc.
One of these days, I'm going to write a story where everyone is dark-skinned except the albino evil people from underground. It wouldn't make sense to make a big deal about the skin color, of course, since everyone's is dark, but it would be an interesting reversal of typical trends.

I thought he was living in the same elven town...

Let's wait on his evisceration.  We should keep him occupied as much as possible on random requests while we modify the book.

Agreed. No matter how much I want to say we kill him "successfully."

Continue the charade, ask name, etc.

Create Race: Wyvern (Dragons)

Biology: -Extremely resistant to different weather and temperature extremes.
           - Livespan is effectively immortal but they can in a sense die if enough physical damage is done.
           - A dragon can not truly die but temporary removed from this plane of existence.
           - Extremely resistant certain types of magicks and physical damage
           - Also has the ability to fly

Death: When a dragon dies its' essence is actual disperse throughout the planet. A dragon a be revived by using a complex ritual or by another dragon.

Language: Their language has a limited physical effect on the world. For example if they want to breath fire they have to say the necessary words for it.

Culture- Dragons are quite aware of other gods existence and even able to sense the influence of other gods on the lesser races. Dragons don't actually worship other deities but they will make pacts with them if it suits their goals.

Two things.
One, do they reproduce in addition to being nigh-immortal and able to resurrect each other?
Two, don't imagine that wyverns are the only dragons. Once I get out of my do-little-conserve-energy phase, I'm making dragons, too.

Wait, why did people actually roll for Cthulhu's insanity? I didn't realize he was on the battlefield.

...Huh. Even me?

Btw, Welcome to B12 one of humanity's last best beacons of insanity.

FIFY.
There's way too many crazies in the world for us to be one of the last beacons of insanity.
Look at politics.

Politicians don't count. Our insanity is too intellectual for them.

Again, best beacons of insanity.
I'd accept last beacons of intelligence, too.
