Dwarves are not heroes...

[Dannyalcatraz]

I thought this was okay since I pretty much assumed elves just pee wine...?

Only when they've been eating fruit. Otherwise...

I recently reread the Harry Potter series, and thought that the concept of ownership that she uses in those books for Goblins would work well for dwarves as well.

The idea being...

An object always belongs to the object's creator. When someone buys something, it's as if they made a single large payment to lease it for life. When the purchaser dies, the object should be returned to its creator.

The idea of passing an item on as an inheritance, or reselling it, is akin to theft from whoever made the item.

man, you quoted harry potter? ugh

As far as dwarves go, they are all based on the killer in the story "the murders in the rue morgue"

dwarves are dumb.

Dwarves are a staunchly conservative militaristic theocracy who have been at war almost neverendingly with the ruthless and cunning Gnomish Republic, with both sides claiming the other as the initial aggressor.

...Depending on your setting, granted ;p

EDIT: Removed parts of the post that caused trouble.

In regard of dwarfs, is would be 'speciesist', BTW. There were no different real races in original D&D to my knowledge.

Speciesism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elves vs Drow on the other hand...

Walking Dad, I appreciate your attempts to clarify. I left your original post in place but I think that's enough that needs to be said on the matter here in this thread.

Expect no reply from cobrazzaro. He's been banned from the thread.

Sad to see a thread go off the rails. I am glad the mods are here.

Anyway, the husband runs more games than I do and he usually take an Eberron approach, where every one is not actually evil but they still might be unpleasant.
