To the shock of nobody, disagree.Oh you are talking about what some races lean towards. That's not really needed in my opinion.
I don't see much of a point to buying 6e either. Nothing makes it better than my homebrew.That's an option but I don't know that it's backwards compatible.
Nah if it's not part of the actual write up, and throw in Alignment too, just go back to pre-tashas, I'm going to need something more interesting and less generic.
Which, thanks to another segment of the player base I won't be getting, so, i just will care less, and not buy it.
We will see. If im going to buy something it needs to provide something I want, and remove the need for me to do more work.I don't see much of a point to buying 6e either. Nothing makes it better than my homebrew.
It's not "the community." It "some people on the internet."I think the kender is a GREAT example of why the D&D community's view of lore should be ignored writ-large:
D&D players for years complain kender are disruptive, resulting in large number of DMs banning them and player's KoS them.
WotC hears this and, in concert with their larger view of race, opts to make kender less disruptive. They do this by making their handling a magical effect. The community REEEEEEEEs that they made kender's magical fey creatures. WotC relents, restores their Graygem origin story and emulates their OS racial traits, and the community REEEEEEEs again that they are bland and boring and wants them to be the annoying disruptive race of thieves that most DMs have banned, and other PCs hunt for sport.
WotC was damned no matter what they did; they gave us a new magical take on kender; players complained. They recreated the original racial traits as faithfully as possible in 5e, players complained.
So do humans, elves and dwarves. What about that is unique to kender?They can still steal stuff. They can even get proficiency, and it's stated that many become pro thieves.
In the UA. In the original it was not magical.The Pocket ability was stated as being magical in origin never a thief one.
