Message: <blockquote data-quote="Velderan" data-source="post: 8810769" data-attributes="member: 7038056">The first mention I am aware of is Dragonlance Adventures from 1987. I quoted it somewhere in the previous 56 pages of this thread, but basically it says half-orc PCs would be considered a magical freak because orcs don't exist on Krynn.Somehow this just isn't the amazing clever point you seem to think it is. DLA was put together by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis and released the year after DL14 came out in 1986. I don't have the exact month DL14 came out, but it was the 4th DL module of that year so safe to say it came out in the 4th quarter? So less than a year later, them finally having the space to get into greater detail about the world they helped create isn't the huge retcon that you seem to be saying it is.On a somewhat related note, does anyone know where the no drow thing came from? A quick Control+F on the DLA PDF doesn't show a mention of the word drow, which makes sense for PCs since drow weren't considered a PC race at that point but it also doesn't mention them as being something that can't be used as an enemy. Dark elves are described, but that's for a character like Dalamar who is cast out from elven society.</blockquote>
