Bernd nodded sagely. The Medieval Trope Trio Test had not once failed before, and today would hopefully be no worse.

"Alright, here we go. Question One: What material do you make a peasant's roof out of, and what does it look like?"

The roofing question was seemingly a nonsequitur, but was vitally important to determining the exact time a certain world was stuck in. Sod or leather would logically suggest pre-medieval technology, while processed wood and stone would suggest Middle Ages to Renaissance technology.

"Question Two: How can you bring someone back to life?"

The resurrection question was equally as nonsensical, but exactly as important in determining the "Realism" factor. If resurrection was trivial, the world would be far above high fantasy. If resurrection was impossible, the world would be grounded in the same desert of realism as a Datum planet.

"Question Three: What do trolls look like, and what do they eat?"

The troll question was the most important one of all, as it determined the "grimness" of a world. Grim worlds usually had trolls of many different shapes and sizes, and happier worlds either had no trolls or singular kinds of troll. This question wasn't foolproof, but was easy enough for a medieval Roamer to understand that it wouldn't be much of a problem.
