In my world, there's a group of mind flayers that has fled from the hive mind that resides in Wildspace, refugees from their own people. They live on the main world, hidden from other peoples to avoid persecution for their nature, and grow brain matter using alchemy and magic to make it so they...

Societal structure. (Also, minor nitpick, but orcs in 5e are dark grey, and hobgoblins are pinkish-grey.) Hobgoblins are goblinoids, which is an important part of their identity. There are the 3 base goblinoids; goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears. I've always seen hobgoblins as the most "human"...

Simple and quick fix for those of you who keep asking "if I can't have kill-on-sight Orcs, what can I have be kill-on-sight?!?!" Easy. Bandits, pirates, and assassins. Elementals (possibly excluding genies and azer). Wild animals, typically carnivores (griffons, perytons, piercers/ropers...

I said having recommended alignments (often plural) for individual cultures in a fantasy world. What part of that is worse than having every single race have a recommended alignment across the D&D multiverse? It would be explicit that it is only the culture that leans that way, but individuals...

I'm fine with a world's culture having suggested alignments/worldviews, but I'm not okay with it being attached to race/lineage.

I like alignment in Planescape, I just don't like alignment on characters. It takes a complex issue and turns it into a two-dimensional chart. That's fine for extraplanar entities, IMO, but not for PCs and humanoid races.

They also get cantrips, which Paladins and Rangers don't get (unless they take one of those Fighting Styles from TCoE).

I am "claiming" that Vistani are an amalgamation of nearly all of the negative stereotypes of the Romani people, and that is inherently harmful to both the Romani people and the hobby. A Romani person that recognizes this in the Vistani of Ravenloft (which many have), they will undoubtedly be...

DEMONS Balor 29 Barlgura 15 Demogorgon 23 Marilith 29 Nalfeshnee 27 Orcus 26 I seriously don't get how people could think that a pig demon or six-armed snake lady demon is cooler/better than the demonic lord of undeath . . . DEVILS Pit Fiend 25 OTHER Rakshasa 42

Full stop here. You say here and later on that this "sets up/creates a false narrative", but don't say what you mean by this. I'm not going to respond until you say what this so called "false narrative" is, as I don't feel comfortable responding to something I don't feel has been properly...

Approaching this from a different angle. Hopefully this amounts to something . . . Does this even matter? Seriously, does it matter at all whether or not I think D&D is "racist" or not? If you're playing the game, having fun as a group, and are not actively harming someone physically or...
