And yet, as you point out, it also helped some mixed race folks feel seen. So . . . where do we go from here?I do think that the half-elf and half-orc . . . as traditionally presented . . . need to go. Plus any other "half" races from legacy D&D. However, there needs to be a clear, easy, and explicit way to play characters of mixed-race in D&D in the PHB. What we got in Tasha's is a start but doesn't hit right for me. There have been a ton of fan and 3rd-party creators who've tried to address this, but most of their solutions make race/species more complicated than necessary, IMO.Wizards needs to keep iterating on this, it is important.</blockquote>
