So you agree that them being a different species does not stop them from being elatable to gumans and a party of Hobbits wouldn't need a human to provide relatbility?

Cultural gorunding then sounds like a buzzword that can conveniently change meaning to suit the argument.

So you challenged an argument by setting up two assumptions that, honestly, are assinine. First of all, you draw arbitrary distinction between races you are nostalgic for - Dwarves, Elves, Haflings and Gnomes - and other races. Despite the fact that Goblins and Orcs are as old staple of Fantasy...

Listen, the struggle between wanting to represent characters accurately and building them so they're actually fun to play is very real, okay?

I know, but the joke about Bahamut/Paladine being Jesus analogue in Dragonlance I was going for doesn't work any of those three religions.

I would say two Banshees are too weak for two lv 11s but that wail can easily turn this into a tpk. Closest my current party got to one was also two banshees, and that was four lv 12 adventurers and three sidekicks.

I mean if Faerunian god of Oozes can substitute for worship of Tharizdun, Bahamut can substitute for Jesus. Wait until she has a crisis of faith and suddenly runs into this loony wizard, who gives good prep talks but also likes to cast fireball.

How about you state your thesis statement clearly and take into ccount ehat I pointed out? If you consider me stupid, then take it upo yourself to clarify. Edit: Also, I did check back and not only did you indeed move a goalpost third time, your initial statement is even worse

Are you saying ypu mived the goalpost even more?

Thanks, will keep that in mind when/if I decide to make uch a thread.

Ypu begun with saying it is ridiculous for a council composed of humans, elves anddwarves to send adventurers who are Kobolds or Tortles or, I assume you men Rakasta instead of Rakshasa. It was then pointed out to you half of Fellowship of the Ring was made of Hobbits, despite them having no...

Say I, hypotetically, want to make a thread where compare a class from d&d 2024 with its equivalent in Tales of the Valiant and A5E. Which forum should I post it in? D&D, A5E or TTRPG General?

Ypu're moving the goalpost pretty blatantly.

I would need to get into a game for that, my own campaign is going strong and I'm not switching to different system, even an update, at level 12. maybe once we finish, unless we change systems, or I get into a game as a player I'm gonna level with you here - I hate Treantmonk's videos. After...

Who is now looking at the past with rose-colored glasses? Your "non-problematic bits" include eugenics. And even if not, your proposal still effectively boils down to writing their lore from the bottom up, a lot of work for little to no reward.

I have explained why the specific origin for half-orcs you brought up is eugenics. Yes, they could have given Half-Elves and Half-orcs different lore and mechanics. You have not provided a single reason why they'd do it, tho. If you have to remove everythign about them to make them...

Okay, but in a thread where we share our opinions about whenever or not the decision made by game designer and publisher in their published work was correct or wrong, where we are using arguments mostly aligned to game design to defend our position....you see how "you can just homebrew it" is...

You are now constructing false strawman argument. I have never entered this thread with the intention of what to put in my game, because my game is using old rules and I won't change the system until we're finished with the campaign and begun another. The discussion is always about whenever...

And I have pointed out that the "lore" you try to press is basically just eugenics. Not to mention it is alluded to in one sentence, with no elaboration. This isn't lore, it's your headcanon. You want us to accept a fanfiction idea you made off a single sentence as a canon thing in the books and...

This is such a worthless difference you may as well say there is none, those terms do not even exist in the game. You sound like you're mad roles from 4e have been removed in 2014. Watch him now say it doesn't count because "they change it and that's wrongbad"
