[QUOTE="Disgruntled Hobbit, post: 8276538, member: 7030041"] Why? If you change enough of the rules you eventually stop playing DnD and start playing a home brew RPG Why is lore different? Unless you think every game that uses a d20 published by WizCo is "DnD" Which is so ridiculous on its face that it hardly bears further comment Cool I don't much care about your feelings either That doesn't mean I'm gonna actively campaign for something you like to be taken away (That would make me an naughty word at best and a sociopath at worst) Building on decades-long lore isn't hard. Specially with wikis. And when said lore is all of five pages It's not any harder than looking up a rule in a book or checking how a spell works. If the people paid to do that as their job can't do 5 minutes of research they need to find a new job Specially when the difference between decades-long consistent lore and two-years consistent lore is minimal when you're looking at a wiki or a five PDFs.
