[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8277549, member: 7015558"] The funny thing is, "basic metaphysical and cosmological facts" is just lore mumbo-jumbo. When I player comes up to me and says, "I have a really fun idea for a simic-hybrid character from Ravnica, who is studying at Candlekeep to learn how to be human again!" am I really going to say, "No you aren't, Planeswalkers don't work in Forgotten Realms because the spark is only inhibited in people across the Blind Eternities, and to allow them would upset the balance as why haven't Chandra and Elminster teamed up to fight Nicol Bolas and BLAH BLAH BLAH" As said in other threads, most players don't care about lore. So I'm not going to use lore as some justification to ban player options just [I]because[/I]. And if WotC notices a bunch of people using material cross-setting like this... they can just change the lore. It's not a big deal. Most D&D players don't give a flyin hoot, they want to play as an elephant-man and telling them "No because lore!" is always unsatisfying. [/QUOTE]
