...Or barbarians, or adventurers, or heroes. Really it's all one big umbrella. Being a hero in and of itself isn't exactly a paid position, is it? Picking up a bag of gold from an evil empire or two is about the only problem I don't have with heroes, honestly.

And I'm not saying someone shouldn't. Even madmen have their place in the world, obviously, or they wouldn't be here to begin with. But I think it's a bit absurd to think it isn't mad to look at a giant monster you know wants to have you for breakfast, and then run at it instead of away.
