[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9587767, member: 7635"] I mean, that's both a bug and a feature I'm told. D&D is supposed to be all things at once. Some people want it to be a generic toolbox that is compatible with a dozen unique D&D settings AND their personal homebrew. Others want rich lore and history that is internally consistent. Consider the Drow priest stat block. How many D&D settings use it? Well, Greyhawk and The Realms both have Lolth so those two. Krynn doesn't have Lolth OR Drow. Eberron had Drow but no Lolth. Exandria has both, but they aren't very common. (Most Drow worship a different faith and aren't evil). Athas has no Drow or gods or any stripe. Ravenloft technically could, but Arak hasn't been a prominent thing since the Grand Conjunction. Planescape and Spelljammer could be, but those are literally multiverse settings. No Lolth in the MTG settings. And who knows what we'll see in the future settings. So, two and a half settings and the "draw from everywhere" multiverse settings. That's what the Drow priestess statblocks service. You might as well put warforged and draconians in the MM. [/QUOTE]
