Message: <blockquote data-quote="Set" data-source="post: 4454420" data-attributes="member: 41584">No world-shaking event is necessary.  The setting is more than flexible and robust enough to deal with the changes.  Note that some of the changes that would come up in a Greyhawk-shaking-event, such as changing all of the Druids to Clerics (suggested above) are just going to have to be undone when Druids are re-introduced to the game in a few months anyway, just as the Time of Troubles went through all the trouble of bumping off Assassins since they didn't think there were going to be any in 3rd edition, only to have them appear as a Prestige Class in the DMG, meaning that they could remain as important to the setting as Red Wizards... Silly people.  Making such radical changes, only to have to put stuff back in months later!  Oh, Bane's dead.  Oh no, he's alive again!  Save yourself that nonsense and just have the Druids and Barbarians and whatever stay 'off-screen' until 4E has presented them in the next PHB.  Wow, I said that except thing a while back.  I think it's the first time anyone at WotC has agreed with me that it would have been more palatable to introduce the new rules *without* a world-shaking event, but building intelligently off of lore already present in an established setting. Iuz has demons in his army and the Great Kingdom has devils running around, so both make likely sources of Tieflings, and both have societies that might even place Tieflings above humans, socially.</blockquote>
