Is this a bug?

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Probaby not a "bug", but yes, the player call everybody "mighty warrior", from herbalists to children.

I believe it's intentional.

If you were a adventurer, setting out to form a party for increased chances at success, would you call your potential recruits mighty warriors or meatshields?

At the moment the line only appears to work on drunkards and other competence reservists, but it's a sure fire way to weed out the complete throwaways. :D

This is my Seventeenth year as a bone carver.

This may be nitpicking - in fact I know it is, but I can't help myself - but there's no particular reason "Seventeenth" should be capitalized, is there? Are all ordinal numbers (e.g. first, second, fifty-sixth) capitalized? I never noticed.

This makes sense for three groups:
-Drunks you want to flatter into serving you.
-People who you might actually think of as mighty warriors.
-Children, assuming you are a good guy. If your a bad guy, it seems to nice for you to be joking with children.

Craftspeople and people who are your equals should have different text.

It would be nice to have 2 or 3 set phrases for each group-- mighty warrior complement for fighters and people you want to join, "You look like a clever artist!" for anybody else. And I love how children say "I'm!" when complimented.

I got a child that spoke and said "I'm one!"  How literacy is prevailing in human towns!
