Dungeons and Dragons (abbreviated as D&D or DnD) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (RPG) currently published by Wizards of the Coast, and is referenced at times by Hiro.
Kensei is the name of the Samurai swordmaster that Hiro admires, and the name Kensei is also used to denote a special character class in Dungeons & Dragons. The literal translation of kensei is sword saint.
References
- In Hiro's Blog 1767.5, speaking of the sword, Hiro writes: "I wonder if it's magical. +4 to dexterity?"
- Hiro lists Future Hiro's D&D stats as being:
- Hiro (Future)
- STR: 14 (I'm going to have to work out more to get this)
- DEX: 18 (with +4 modifier) (ditto as above)
- CON: 12
- INT: 18 (I can use magic)
- WIS: 17 (I survive till the future so I have to be wise (^o^))
- CHA: 15
- Race: Human (Japanese)
- Alignment: Lawful Good
- AC: -1 (I would think that I would be wearing lighter gear, but get AC
- dexterity bonus)
- Class: Kensei
- In Hiro's Blog 1758.5, Hiro utilizes D&D jargon by saying, "It does seem that I need to level up my skills more, but how do I level up? Do I need more MP? Raise my Job Skill? How do I get XP?" and "I can't really fight. No weapons. My current spells would be Quick, Return, and Teleport."
- In Hiro's Blog 1759.3, Hiro says, "Hiro crits potato chip bag for 182 damage."
- In Hiro's Blog 1759.6, Hiro says, "Hiro hits Ando-kun for 53 damage. 19 blocked."
- In Hiro's Blog 1764.3, Hiro says, "He might be our Dungeon Master and hence we're not allowed to talk to him."
- In Hiro's Blog 1774.2, Hiro says, "I've always thought that Dungeon Masters were short with long gray hair and beards wearing a red robe." and "Probably doesn't have a +4 dexterity modifier. The way Mr. Isaku drew it though, it seemed like a two handed katana."
- In Hiro's Blog 1776.8, Hiro says, "I tried using my powers but it didn't work quite the way I expected. Instead of Stop, I casted Haste. Better than nothing, I suppose. Will I ever become a master Red Mage? Will I ever learn Meteor?"
Notes
- Arguably, Hiro might reference popular Japanese console RPGs (such as Final Fantasy) as well, judging from the mentioning of the Red Mage, which is a player character class in those games.
