[QUOTE="colincbn, post: 7207844, member: 6810968"] Ok, I assumed that when you mentioned the battle game that D&D came from you were talking about Chainmail, since that is what it was called. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainmail_(game)[/url] Please look up what the word "if" means. I never once used the word "unfair", so it is you who are claiming people have said things they didn't. But honestly I can understand why you would think that. But what I think is wrong is not the fact the any race has any negative traits. It is singling out one to never be able to get over it. You did imply it was my character. When you said this: "If you're not seeing how powerful the Superior Darkvision is, then your DM is not running things right." And this: "That is, unless you insist on running a Drow in an outdoors, sunlight-suffused campaign, which IMO is silly - they hate that stuff by nature. If you do, well, suck it up. Might as well run an Aarakocra in a mega-dungeon full of 10' hallways and complain about that." And this: "and if you choose a fish out of water, you pay the price. Playing a Drow? Suck it up and role play your chosen disadvantage." So just own it man. And if you look back at any of my posts I never once said Sunlight Sensitivity was an unfair flaw. Just that not allowing a player to do anything about it is ridiculous. And all this coming from a guy who's profile says he is DMing in a campaign in which: "Each player gets a 'house rule' at 1st level that puts a unique twist on one of their character traits. It's a slight boost in power, comparable to half a feat." That is just so mindbogglingly hypocritical I am at a loss for words. [/QUOTE]
