[QUOTE="Dykstrav, post: 5050425, member: 40522"] Virtually every DM I know and respect re-skins constantly and shamelessly. Here's a few brief examples of the fluff I've changed from core D&D to fit my homebrew. • Dragonborn are the result of powerful magic shared by a tribe of lizardfolk. This tribe banded together under their mightiest shamans and magicians, slew one of the world's most ancient dragons, and infused their bloodline with its power. Now all of their descendants carry some measure of its power in their veins, although they suffer from occasional strangeness as well. • Shifters are the children of druids. I didn't want to have to explain why there had never been shifters in my homebrew and now suddenly they were available... So I explained to the players that druids and other primal characters have occasional odd children who bear the mark of their parent's shapeshifting abilities. • In my homebrew, the various constellations are associated with powerful angels. Recently, angels have been visiting the world, bestowing mighty powers upon select agents to wage war against star pact warlocks. Invokers are the agents these angels have empowered to fight for them. Many feel that the invoker's mandate and angelic patrons will lead to the formal establishment of a new religion in the setting's future. [/QUOTE]
