[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8065300, member: 27385"] I find this to be a problem. I was thinking this is a game and needs rules like a game. Races in the D&D game are different than other races- they are not Earth/Human cultures. I can see where some inject the orcs/africans or maybe the elf/english thing to bring light or awareness to something I never thought about before. I do not have a problem with elves getting +2 Int or Dwarves +2 Con since they are not Earth humans. If we are making a game based on Earth Humans we would have a valid point on racism. If you look hard enough, I'm sure you can find racism in every game or situation you walk into, but I liked the game 5 years ago when it came out and still like it today as is. If we want to go this far, we should only allow humans as a playable race. For the 'Level Up' discussion, should we be looking at the PHB races only and leave the others alone for now? I ask because most of my games only play PHB and leave the monster races in the MM. Not sure if this would cut down or focus the discussion. [/QUOTE]
