And it's flat out contradicted as the very first thing in the character creation section. It's the thing the designers felt was most important to be seen.

You keep asserting that without any written back up whatsoever. I on the other hand provided 5.5e PHB rules that contradict your currently baseless assertions. Do you have anything to back up your assertion other than feels?

I see a flaw in your logic. :unsure:

With 5e, though, even a round of inaction can spell quick doom. Two rounds and it's over. 5e has a very different combat balance than AD&D did.

Um. It says character creation because setting is up to the DM. You need to check, because the default expectation is that not everything will always be available in the setting. So yes, it IS about character creation, because you create characters IN a setting.

This is a vibe of yours, not 5.5e's. In the character creation section of the 5.5e PHB the very first thing it says to do BEFORE you dive into character creation, is talk to the DM to see what kind of game they plan on running. Right off the bat they set the expectation that just because it's...

This is YOUR thing, not the edition's. There is no such assumption built into the game. The 5.5e PHB still tells you to check with your DM.

So nothing says it. You're just assuming it because the books have a lot of different races in them. That means diddly as far as whether settings are supposed to be Mos Eisley Cantina or not. Streaming mean even less. How other groups do things, even ones that stream, has absolutely no...

Says who?

Most of that can be supplemented/represented by rolls. The player can't think of a solution, but his PC has an int of 20, a roll can give a clue or solve it. The player can't do a triple summersault over some lava, a roll can allow the PC to do with with athletics. Tactics, though, is a...

And it's already that way. There's plenty of lore regarding Dragonborn in Tymanther. There does not need to be equality of lore choice for every country, city, town and village in the entirety of the Realms. If you choose to make yourself a stranger in a strange land, you are not going to have...

That's actually not true. MtG is part of the D&D multiverse and I found one named Dragonborn from the Sword Coast that comes from MtG. Vrondiss. I also found Dark Urge, an evil Dragonborn from the Sword Coast. He's from Baldur's Gate III, Blood in Baldur's Gate, and Idle Champions of the...

I'm not understanding because race is generally irrelevant to having a connection with someone, and you keep using the word connected. Do you mean relation, because my Dragonborn won't be related to the head of the Flaming Fist, but he can easily be connected to him and any other NPC I want.

It seems like you are arguing that the only way to be connected to the setting is through a Dragonborn NPC. " I can take that same NPC, file off "Member of the Flaming Fist" and replace it with, "Member of the Bronze Band" and nothing changes." The reverse is also true. You can take a...

Why can I leverage existing lore in Baldur's Gate with what is written, then? Dragonborn being fine mercenaries through the Realms is existing lore. The Flaming Fists being a very large mercenary company is existing lore. I'm perfectly capable of leveraging those two lore facts to insert my...

That's a bad analogy. The more accurate one is, "If I knew the CEO and CFO of a hundred different companies and they were white(elvish), hispanic(human), native american(halfling) and so on, I'd assume that there were some whatever race(dragonborn) out there, too.

This one didn't do that for them, but did go into how to build your own planetouched races, as well as gave a bunch of archetypes for planetouched characters. Then it went into half-outsiders, gave you 20ish feats, 9 prestige classes, some new spells, and then a dozenish new planar monsters.

You'd have to account for that in society, though. Farmland would have to have immense walls surrounding it, and that would mean a smaller great wall of China around the miles of farmland and villages surrounding surrounding each city(or maybe it's one great city). Otherwise cities wouldn't be...
