[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8476734, member: 7023887"] Absolute, complete nonsense. Less than a month after this new revision of the 3 Core Rulebooks were announced, we got an Unearthed Arcana for 6-limbed Psychic Ant People, the first Ooze race in 5e, Spacefaring Robot Gnomes, and Swashbuckling Space Monkeys with Flying Squirrel Skin-Flaps. If WotC suddenly decided to simplify D&D's races into "6" rubber monsters and characters all with the same body mold with a different head stuck on", they never would have published even a playtest version of those races, and given very specific cultural differences that would exist between those races due to their inherently non-human nature (the Hadozee with their monkey-based social structure, Thri-Kreen with their sleeplessness and psychic powers, autognomes from their strange relationships with their parent race, creators, and constructed nature (which I like to call "the Pinnochio Effect"), and Plasmoids with being [B]literal sentient oozes[/B] with amorphous bodies and social structure). You're entitled to your opinion on whether or not you like these changes, man, but don't make up BS about the motivations or direction of the game because of your dislike for the changes. It's clear to me that WotC still wants races to be diversified from one another, they just want it to be done in different ways from the standard (and perhaps cliché) stereotypes that used to be reinforced in 5e's (and all previous editions') PHB, DMG, and MM. So, no. You're wrong. Utterly incorrect in this vast leap of "logic". Keep whatever opinion you want, just don't make nonsense up, please. [/QUOTE]
