That guy with the mask looks totally normal.

The coolest magical items don't "break the scaling" anyway, because they do cool weird stuff, rather than just giving you spells or numbers.

OP, it's pretty scummy to remove an artist's watermark from their image to repost it, but it's just extra lazy to not re-centre the image afterwards, so you have a big white space where the watermark used to be.

It wasn't even in the way

This depends a lot on interpretation and edition etc etc. If we're looking at 5e Forgotten Realms, historical inventions and their proliferation/use and the technology of the real world, then "D&D" is "set in the period" of about 1850.

Waterdeep (perhaps the most developed city on Toril) has movable type printing press. There are multiple newspapers in circulation with a similar level of proliferation as mid 1800s Birmingham (a city I selected for having a similar size and population). Waterdeep has widespread indoor pluming and sanitation, at least for rich people (the Water Closet was invented in 1777), It doesn't have the internal combustion engine (1872). This puts the "period" somewhere between 1820 and 1880. Mayonnaise is canon.

It can be very difficult to map "real history" onto fantasy settings with magic - necessity is the mother of invention, and many common problems that WE solved with invention would have been solved in such worlds through magical means. Why develop trains when you have teleport circle? Why develop the telephone when sending exists and you can make sending stones? Why develop penicillin when lesser restoration is a second level spell? - In general it's worth assuming that the lack of an invention in a fantasy world doesn't restrict the "time period" to before then.

I'm using a third level resource slot to order pizza.

In 3e, there were enemies that were immune to "any damage or effect from any creature whose level was lower than level 20"

TECHNICALLY you're incorrect.

Although many people get this wrong.

Only 50% of horny bards would seduce a goblin?

ROMANCE is right in the name, folks

It's food.
