| I’m not sure I understand how a clearly white/nordic dwarf means more diversity than a human of ambiguous ethnicity.
Saying that dnd races have no identifiable ethnicity seems a bit hasty. Interestingly, the most intolerant and chauvinistic gamers i've met often played dwarves, with an emphasis on the race's already strong celtic or norse feel.
I get that designer wanted iconics to fit favoured classes and that Tordek was visually more striking than Regdar. But the lack of racial diversity seems like a weird reason to hate the character or abuse him in the illustrations.
If the artists had such liberty, why didn’t they just make Regdar look less european, like Lockwood did?
