[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 7995371, member: 7023840"] If you are trying to say that factions aren't stupid, and convince people of that, then that is not the best analogy to use! I have read and enjoyed Ravnica, but I will continue to state that factions are a silly game addition (if you can call something that is barely there an addition) that I have no use for. Factions are of so little importance that [U]they are not part of the PHB.[/U] They are an option in the DMG. (Harpers, Zhentarim). If you look for a source on WOTC, you find the AL "five factions" of Zhentarim, Harpers, Lord's Alliance, and Emerald Enclave- FR Factions. If you like factions, I am glad that this particular 5e mechanic works for you. I don't need a supplement for Greyhawk to say, "Hey, there's groups, but instead of calling them "nations" like the Scarlet Brotherhood or even referring to them as the Circle of Eight, we will introduce a kinda sorta mechanic that will remind you of that really stupid thing you left behind in high school."
