[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 7869011, member: 59554"] oh god, I forgot all about favored classes. it's like they just couldn't let go of the idea of race/class restrictions and just had to have something about it left in 3e. I get not wanting to have equivalent everything in a fantasy setting, and copying and pasting every culture into a setting is boring af. idk I used to not care so much, but someone I know (who is a person of color) compared Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls, and how at least in Tamriel not only was there visible diversity among all races but also a history of where all these different people came from. meanwhile in Thedas everyone is ostensibly white (though that may have changed in the last game??) except maybe your own character, but then it's like why are you the only non-white person in the world? Eberron does seem to strive for the melting pot model of things, which I guess is fair and at least it's a history of diverse people coming to one continent over time. man, sounds like a real hoot. I bet you treat those events and trends with a good deal of respect even 😉 even better is when someone makes something based on their own experience but it goes largely ignored haha Orz [/QUOTE]
