[QUOTE="Pauln6, post: 7176162, member: 6777422"] The Drow personality is influenced more by spiders than by anti-feminism, although other monster ecologies probably have Tolkien to thank for their sexism. I recall when building many a humanoid lair that females do not fight and that female giants count as the next giant class down the pecking order. For my part, I'm happy for my PCS to live in a sexist, racist quasi-medieval setting. This isn't Star Trek. The key is to create interesting women within that framework. The difference between LotR and GoT I suppose. With or without stat caps, my enjoyment of D&D has remained the same. I can recall one female elf in the eighties whose strength got bumped down a point but apart from that, I never had any problems. I had far more difficulties with 4e min maxing which interfered with my mental image of what I wanted my character to be if that did not chime with class, race, and powers. [/QUOTE]
