I think it was a necessity in order to get those armies made in the first place. Neither the Republic, nor the droid creators(their name escapes me) had an army or need for one. To get the Republic to accept the clones, the Republic needed an enemy that required the clones. In order to create...

Settings are created with specific things in them. Things not in them don't spontaneously appear without the DM putting them into the setting. If a new book with 10 races comes out tomorrow, none of them are in Eberron. Not one. Not until your DM sticks them in anyway. You should read what...

You have that bass ackwards. Eberron, and its author, makes extremely clear that the one--and only--reason that official-D&D content isn't included in Eberron, is because the GM, purely personally, desired not to include it. The DM isn't excluding anything from Eberron, which is the point...

Right. He said don't let it stop you, not that you should include it, which is how some here in the thread are using his words.

Correct. There are also the tortle mechanics, which that PC has. It's a tortle in every way that matters. False Equivalence. Those other dragon people didn't have dragonborn mechanics, so they were not dragonborn. And that's just a very blatant "misinterpretation" of everything that I've...

And now silt sea tortles!!! :P Maybe they have the psionic ability to swim in it.

Might be fun to make a race of Silt Sea Tortles.

What about a tortoise? :p

The DM should sacrifice his fun so the player can have a tortle.

My only problem with Tabaxi is the name. I'm seriously considering having the party enter a city and then see a bunch of them pulling rickshaws and advertising their tabaxi cab company.

For sure. The player side was very insistent that no compromise at all was the only acceptable compromise. Coming up with a story about how a tortle could get there isn't compromise unless the DM's specific issue is it existing as a race. As an example, I simply cannot see warforged as a...

The answer has repeatedly been to TRY and compromise. If no compromise can be reached, one side has to back down or leave the game. When it comes to something like race or class, it should always be the player since the player can have fun playing something else, while the DM's fun is...

Yes. Yes it does. It does in fact mean that one tortle lives in that world. And it means that there was no compromise, because how you became a tortle being different isn't a compromise from you playing a tortle as it is in the books. The problem isn't, "Are there 10,000 of you." The problem...
