I think D&D 4th Ed will be on the news just like the protests against Harry Potter and video games that promote killing cops and committing crimes made the news. And when it is mentioned that D&D promotes being a half demon race that makes pacts with demons to gain powers many parents will not let their kids check out the game. And if there is a tragedy in which a kid commits suicide or commits a school shooting and a Player's Handbook is found in the kids bedroom, the tragedy will be depicted as D&D's fault. I'm not saying the claim would be true but how the media would say it to make a story.And just like people sue gun makers because of a shooting or sue McDonalds because fast food made them fat, I see lawsuits coming against WotC because D&D made their kid suicidal.I think the tiefling and warlock would have been better in another options book instead of in the basic PHB that everyone needs to buy to begin playing the game.</blockquote>
