Everybody does it - Introductions

[Munroe]

Since everybody introduces everyone all the time, so much so that one day I think that's all I did, here's Emily Post's etiquette rules for introductions:

I try to follow the rules of introduction when I think about it, but my character has a bad habit of unnecessary introductions, which are also frowned upon.

fighters and those who did not receive a degree from Yale University (or the Midevil equivilant) need not bother to read this!

No, of course not, nor barbarians or most rogues. Paladins, monks, wizards, some clerics and bards would be the ones most likely to be passably familiar with some etiquette, though most bards would be more inclined to know it than actually use it. My bard was brought up in a nouveau riche Bourgeoisie background and her parents' airs became her inherent traits, though they are sometimes so complex she even stumbles over them (because I'm not perfect).

Proper etiquette would strike me as something a monk or paladin or lawful cleric (from a church hierarchy) or any knight, noble or royal would be most likely to use, but anyone from a background of cultured society as well, just because it was in his or her upbringing. Of course etiquette varies by culture so some cultures would be completely different. These are actual etiquette rules after all, not game rules.

I see eastern (aka Kara-Tur, pseudo-asian) characters get offended by breaches of etiquette and I think it might be nice to throw in a bit of Western etiquette as well.
