D&D 5E WOTC Possibly Removing "Druids" for Religious/Cultural Sensitivity Reasons

[Gradine]

Censor bar? I'm prettysure that amazon suffered a battle injury and those are red bandages.

Look, we've already got one thread for T&A that is, apparently, totally fine here, we don't need a second

For research purposes I'm going to have to ask...no. Nevermind. I'll figure it out.

I've been considering a campaign to end WotC's use of the word kobold. A kobold is not a little lizard/draconic man, it's a little house spirit that helps out with chores but is an occsional jerk hiding your favorite tools from you.

Ah, but that's exactly what they are... for dragons.

Yeah I mean this thread is nonsense, but I would say the Druid has more inertia in D&D (5e) than the rest of that combined. Its not going anywhere.

Unless of course any high-profile complaint about it comes to WotC's attention.

I think at this point we at least get to 5e2024-"NotANewEdition" safe and in the clear. After that? We at least have the SRD.

How many people wake up in the morning offended and outraged that Dungeons & Dragons has classes named Druid, Shaman, Barbarian? Let's add a few more to the list of class names to remove from the game starting with Wizard, Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Sorcerer, Warlock and Rogue. Did I miss any? This is ridiculous and I give it four thumbs down !!

If only the D&D movie had made Transformers movie money, we could say "it was in the move, bro" and move on.

D&D absolutely does have some problem class names in the past. There's a reason we don't see the Wicca any more (Or Wokani they renamed it to), or that one variant thief that's a slur for Romani people

Shaman is absolutely on shakey ground and barbarian isn't great, but at least barbarian there's enough cultural 'eh' around it I don't see much happening there.

Barbarian only means someone who doesn't speak Greek. It's not any kind of slur.
