I do not consider having a native remaining a native to be a race swap...

Goldmoon is not saving the natives in the first place, that is not her role or the story of DL / Chronicles I already wrote that she can be native and does not need to be caucasian looking.

SG plays in modern times in the US, that makes it pretty straightforward to have a diverse cast, it accurately represents the world it is portraying. It also does not have an established history in which the main cast is a certain ethnicity that the show decided to go against either.

I always saw that more as the elf / ranger thing than a native american thing, but I agree, it certainly can be seen that way too they should, he can dress like Aragorn in Bree without truly changing anything relevant

I believe the whole 'for modern audiences' is way overrated. Modern audiences do not just watch shows where the cast is all colors of the rainbow and half of them are non-cis. Maybe I am out of touch, but I believe a good story is more important than 'forced diversity', even for modern audiences.

lol, forgot about that one. Original in an extended universe kind of sense, not even a Weis/Hickman book, let alone from the Chronicles trilogy we are kinda expecting / discussing here

I do not have a quote for you, but it had been mentioned a few times on these forums. I also doubt WotC would publicly say that this was the rationale for the recategorization Let’s turn this around, can you think of another reason for it, let alone a better one?

cheesecake, i.e. 50s-style pinup, not cheesy, see esp. Tika

no that is because WotC changed category from book to game, specifically to not have the steep book discounts

they are, but they are somewhat based on existing peoples, esp. the main characters are pretty well defined ethnically, I never said anything about the rest of Krynn why would he she can have lighter hair, no need to go all out blond imo yep, I would have no issues with the knights of...

the map is the best part of it, the rest could have been more creative by rolling on a good random table

It isn't, we have two natives and two (three with Kitiara) that I said could be hispanic. I only said none of the main cast are black or asian. Also, I am not seeing it as repulsive, Vikings are white, Wakandans are black, the people in Chief of War are Hawaiian, etc. it does not always have to...

I am aware of those ‘reasons’, I don’t believe your claim that they balance the spell good, that is my point, and it is about the power, not just aesthetics

you answered your question, we know what these characters look like from plenty of paintings societies all over the world have all kinds of mixes, why does it need to reflect your specific one? Should Wakanda or Mamoa’s Chief of War be the same mix too?

worked fine for LotR, they should stick to the book here too imo You can have Goldmoon and Riverwind as natives, blond hair or not, and if you want to, make the Majeres hispanic, but asian and black are basically out

nah, the spell is overpowered full stop. I am fine with shelter from the elements, but it should not withstand a lot of sustained damage

very few skills will transfer over to Maps. If your job was to make 3d assets for Unreal Engine, Maps is not what you will work on next.

and that guy needs a low level party to take care of things for him? Auril? That is because a tier 2 party is supposed to win the fight, not because CR11 and up is appropriate / reserved for minor gods or more powerful entities

The name is Oath of the Noble Genie, but based on the description Oath of the Elements would be more appropriate imo. “Paladins who swear the Oath of the Noble Genies draw their might from the Elemental Planes”

I kinda am, I stopped after the first three books because at his pace I have to start over after a new book anyway ;)
