[QUOTE="Belen, post: 9509192, member: 1405"] For example, I do not have goliaths in my campaign setting. They only became a PHB race 2 months ago. If a player wants to play a goliath, then they would need to answers some questions: [LIST=1] [*]Give me a short history of goliaths on Delos: Where do they live, what is their culture, how do other species see them, do they have a kingdom, what gods do they follow, if any. [*]Are they common or rare in this part of the setting? If rare, are you prepared for NPCs to see you as an outsider? If common, write up a description of any important locations that they exist. [*]Provide at least 5 Goliath NPCs that are not family [/LIST] These are all the types of actions I would need to take to accommodate the player by adding a Goliath to the setting.
