Because they're not gods, they're titans. Same reason various nymphs and the like are children of gods but not necessarily gods

D&D decided to bootstrap every single deity it could find into a single setting back in Deities and Demigods, let's not pretend that didn't happen. You can even go and visit them in Planescape and people specifically complained about the half-assed zero effort "Eh let's plonk actual Egyptian...

They don't conflict at all? Like, he's just athletic Thor Regardless though, if you think that's a conflict in portfolios, you'd hate actual IRL goddess Inanna/Ishtar, yeah, That Ishtar, goddess of love, fertility, civilisation and most importantly war. Very much not anything to do with...

Bane has the best/dumbest name thoough, which is just making him. Bane. From Batman. Poseidon (Y'know, that Poseidon) was worshipped as a god of earthquakes, the ocean, and horses. That's before we even get to the Mycean approach which, we know little of due to Linear B being Linear B, but he...

LotR knock off isn't the only thing. They'd probably also go "This is just a worse Warcraft" after a point as well The time for a Dragonlance live action was decades ago. It doesn't have the impact now it did then and would probably sink as much as Disney's attempt at John Carter.

Knight implies heavy armor, horse-back, all that type of thign which doesn't necessarily match with how folks play fighters. I'd argue it should be Warrior though, and that Warrior implies far stronger than a simple fighter They're completely different? Monks ki points are supernatural stuff...

Hasbro and Lego are rivals in the toy company business. They are not interested in Spelljammer and especially not interested in dead Dungeons and Dragons settings from the 90s. I'm pretty sure that one year of Ninjago they did sky pirates in outsold every Spelljammer product ever made, and even...

I mean, I'm not sure I'd call those essential parts of Mystara. Immortal play was late game optional stuff, Diaboli are an obscure race and, if looking at obscures, there's dozens in FR alone. I'd say the lack of Lupin is more relevant than Diaboli Not everything is there, sure, but these are...

I mean, Greyhawk has a Dragon Empire that's never been explored, only ever mentioned in like, one thing as "A dude went there and learnt to ride dragons" "Dragonborn live in the Dragon Empire" seems like a small leap

The weird dragon rebirth (and stuff goes horrible if you do evil acts IIRC?) thing isn't necessarily what folks are wanting, though There was a reason that was dropped pretty quickly for "Yeah you're just a dragon guy"

I mean, you don't even need to go that far. There's some sort of Dragon Empire that exists in Greyhawk that's never been explored. Just, have Dragonborn live there

I mean, just the same, an adventure and adventuring are two different things :p Regardless, this is why I reckon D&D's been bad in the past making warrior seem the down-scale of fighter when, frankly, in most other things its the opposite

I mean, every class is a fighter. Every class fights

I wouldn't say its objectively bad (Frankly the only class that hits that is the Berserker Barbarian because exhaustion is just that punishing), but it does basically drag your Fighter into being incredibly dependant on needing high Charisma for some things, which isn't going to synergise with...

This endless back and forth is getting us nowhere. I'm just going to drag this last one up because its pointless and is the encapsulation of my points No other class in this game justifies itself on playstyle alone. I care about theme, the narrative weight of these choices that make up your...

Both were mechanically distinct in previous editions. They have a history Aberrant Mind is aberration themed, per its name and suggested background, so aren't filling the role of it, because being a psion isn't just 'being aberration'. GOOlock is "I made a deal with an eldritch entity", it...

Right, just llike how Battlemaster is totally sufficient for everyone who wants Warlord and we haven't had countless threads about folks wanting a warlord Let me put this simply: I don't want the tiny side-dish, I want the full course meal where things get their proper showing, and based on how...

How popular was that back in the day? I know 1E to 2E had its drama in Dragon Magazine and I do recall a bunch of illusionist players complaining their class and playstyle got cheated away People want the psionic mechanics expanded into a class of its own, just like how other classes borrow...

The Psion was created in 2E to give a home to all those random pre-existing psionic powers. Regardless though, we are talking old enough that the Illusionist was around, as in the completely seperate spellcaster who wasn't a wizard at the time And I'm going to disagree on it being a bad...

The races are humans, dwarves, gnomes, elves, orcs, trolls, minotaurs, other elves, and blue tieflings
