Umm, none of these are PC races, they are monsters. Other than that good point. ROFL

Wanted to sign up because of the game table. When it's ready I'll check it out and maybe purchase. Until then, waiting.

I was in college at the time and worked in a game shop. Wilderlands had almost no sales. Greyhawk out sold it at least 100:1. So, no it wasn't popular. Empire of the Petal Throne was not a D&D setting so I don't know why you mention it, might as well compare the 3rd Imperium setting.

That's up to the individual player to decide, maybe they want the challenge. I run run a world centric game. If a PC jumps off a cliff, they fall. I don't ban cliff jumping in the game just because it is "non-viable". LOL

The world is designed to the basic default PC races. I only ban outright, races that are too powerful. If a player wants to play something else and they know the possible consequences why ban it? You make no sense.

Absolutely. It's eyes wide open. I give players all the general campaign info needed to create characters. They then make informed choices. I just don't interfere with PC actions. Not a DMs job unless I'm running a kiddie game to intro the game.

But the 2e DMG would agree with me. Always be wary of crap books.

Sure, the world exists. If a player wants to choose a monster race where that race regularly slaughters humans, that's the players decision. I don't run PCs. Players do. PCs act and the world reacts in a realistic (for the setting) way.

Naw, all kinds of crap was spewed by 3rd party pubs back then. The vast majority of groups didn't use it.

Wilderlands wasn't a TSR/WotC product. No more relevant than some DMs house rules.

Actually not. In 1st/2nd Ed "humanoids" were monsters. Demi-humans were for PCs...

I don't have a problem with a player choosing any balanced race. The PC may be lynched and burned at the stake the 1st time they enter a town but that's the players choice not the DMs.

It's almost impossible to write rules for a complex game so that 100% of people understand them. 99.999% is pretty good.

I've never run into any player who having read the PHB has had this confusion.

If you are the DM just increase the DC.

Become a spell caster. That way it is easier to use magic.

That's right I forgot that the modern prism binocular began with Ignatio Porro in 1854 & Hans Lippershey completed a binocular version of his telescope in 1608. Good luck.

The first binocular telescope was invented by J. P. Lemiere in 1825. There is no "masterwork" spyglass/telescope. You might want to create one for your game. X3 mag would be appropriate.

Umm, 3.5 is set in a pre Renaissance tech era.

Over the decades, I've found that mounted focused characters are limited. There are too many times you can be denied the use of a mount. Better to not put resources into the mounted combat stuff.
