They tend to be used to blow leaves onto other people’s property or the street rather than actually clear them up, so also add antisocial.

Leafblowers are an abominable waste. Get a broom.

The shadows are coming.

Use a bloomin shovel, better for the environment and your health.

Githyanki are making an aggressive play for the honourable warrior race slot.

I mean, Conan, if you like. REH believed there were different races of human, and made Cimmerians a particularly big, strong and tough species.

Apart from dwarves are now extras sitting at the back of the cantina. Zeitgeist means spirit of the age, and the age isn’t the 1970s any more. Drax the Destroyer is far more zeitgeisty than Gimli these days.

I’ve played the PC version of Gloomhaven, and it is darn hard, even when you think you have a good grasp of the mechanics.

Ah, quite right, thanks for the spot, I’ll edit my post.

Star Wars was based on Hidden Fortress, which used a pair of comic slaves as its viewpoint characters.

What you mean is “I know about dwarves because I’ve read LotR, and I haven’t noticed that the world has moved on since then”.

Probably playing the wrong game then. None of the playable species in the PHB have much lore, because the expectation is that it will vary between settings. A dwarf is a blank slate to someone unfamiliar with Tolkien- increasing likely in the current diverse fantasy market. Come to D&D via BG3...

In other words, you hate the idea that the good guys in Star Wars are slave owners and will twist the available data in any way you can to make it not so.

D&D is about creating players creating their own worlds, not about having it dictated by WotC. You want Goliath lore, or a trope, or a cliche? Create it yourself, that’s what D&D is about.

Note that goliaths who have not learned their Giant Ancestry ability are the same as each other, and the wording of the ability is this: "You are descended from Giants. Choose one of the following benefits-". It does NOT say "there are five different subraces of goliath that live separately and...

That shouldn’t make any difference. It’s hierarchical. If it’s “just code” the droid should be physically incapable of disobeying its core programming, shutting down if necessary. The instruction “do not impersonate a deity” would have a higher priority than “obey your master”. That 3PO did not...

I would take them as learnable abilities. Humans have an innate ability to learn language, but that doesn’t mean they all speak French without learning it first.

What exactly do you think they are unable to do, because I seriously don’t get it?
