[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8814123, member: 6915329"] OK, you completely failed to understand what I mean, so allow me to use an analogy. I play The Sims. I also watch a Sims youtuber, LilSimsie, who mostly does building videos, and then she puts her completed builds up on the Sims gallery so other people can download them. There are, at this moment, the base game and a total of 57 additional expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kits for The Sims 4, because EA is good at making DLC. You only [I]need [/I]the base game to play, but it's nice to be able to have your sims go hiking or get killed by vending machines or follow them to school or raise llamas or whatever. More often than not, LilSimsie will build a house using the base game only, so that [I]everyone [/I]can download her build. After all, if she decides to do a build that features the base game [I]and [/I]Get to Work [I]and [/I]Realm of Magic [I]and [/I]Cottage Living [I]and [/I]Bowling Night Stuff [I]and [/I]Moonlight Campers, then only people who also have those packs can get full use out of her builds. People who don't have those packs can download the house, but it will have a big MISSING ITEMS error when it's loaded, and then it's anywhere from a pain in the neck to nearly impossible to fix the build so that it looks nice again. Likewise, if minotaurs are a playable race in Dragonlance, but their stats aren't included in the Dragonlance book, then only people who own or have access to Mordenkainen's can get full use out of the Dragonlance book, which is very much not everyone. But they [I]would [/I]be able to get use out of half-orcs, because they're in the PHB, and can even reskin them to be full orcs instead of only half-orcs. Understand? [/QUOTE]
