Lol. That probably is the safest route to ensure that no one gets upset.

If we follow that logic, however, then there can be no such thing as optional rules.

Sorry! Only read a portion of the hundreds of posts. I suppose I don't agree with the people that are upset about this. I don't think WOTC is lazy or whatever and I think they actually know their business better than us! They have priorities other than pleasing certain niches of the customer...

I thought all the Tasha's class options were optional.

Have not read everything. Not sure what the hubbub is about. What does "canon" even mean? Don't we all (especially the participants in boards like this) run or play in campaigns that have their own "canon"? This is different from Marvel or Disney which produces stories. DnD allows tables to...

This makes me think what DnD would "look like" if it were developed in another part of the world. What if Gygax, Arneson, or Kuntz or any of those early contributors were of African or Asian descent?

No one is advocating that for that type of society. However, when you are food insecure and your life is pretty much at the whim of a "lord", you are forced to be a part of it and unfortunately, contribute to it. Also, there religion and spirituality played a far different role. The religious...

All of these are good food for thought. How That's a legitimate point and food for thought. If there was an exhaustion rule, what would you do to counterbalance it? Some ideas include make getting out of exhaustion easier. I've thought of doubling healing damage also since the "cure...

My kids did 4H 🐱 I don't think those of us living in (I assume), wealthy "Western" nations with public services and social welfare really have the right frame of mind to criticize "child labor" on a family farm. In olden times when there was no public education, I assume that your children...

What do y'all think about this house rule? If you make a death save, you get "half" an action. Anything you do you will be at disadvantage or you can move half your speed. If you are brought back from 0 hit points (via healing, etc.), you gain a level of exhaustion. The goal is to nerf yoyo...

If there were more artwork depicting elves with "natural" dark skin tones, the "unnatural" obsidian skin tone of Drow Elves and their general characterization would arguably be more acceptable today.

Probably coming from a different place but white Goku was dumb and felt like a racist move by studio execs. I think times have gotten better to the point where very few would bat an eye over a black Vulcan.

With the direction it's going, maybe stuff like elves just automatically getting acrobatics and persuasion (or it's future equivalent) in the future - and they can get expertise if they use a slot. It would alleviate some of the min-maxing with race and class combinations. Dwarves getting...

I suppose an argument could be made that Charisma would also help with performance art like dancing.

I was just using unions to mean that there probably wouldn't be a whole lot of them. Elves in view have traditionally been vegetarians but that view is probably not the concensus.

Don't halflings get a plus to to dexterity - the same as elves? I would think a blanket plus 2 would be pretty distinctive genetic trait. I think you dwarf and elf characterizations are based on the "ideal". They are not really represented in the rules that well. Rules like that would be...

My interpretation of this would be that halflings in general do not care about wealth and power. There is a difference between pursuit of wealth and pursuing money for some charity, security, etc. Now I don't believe in monocultures where every character has to adhere to the written...

Guy with beard? Hmm.. that seems like a trap option .

Over 5k! I congratulate the OP and all of you who have contributed to this thread. May it live on long after we have all passed.

An elf with hair that covers part of their ear does not look like a human? A dwarf does not look like a stocky person with a beard? Cherry picking artwork proves nothing. Sorry .
