[QUOTE="OniDaimyo, post: 7189817, member: 6863160"] That's part of the setting? Yes, the barbarian would indeed have better interactions. Its supposed to be a xenophobic place. Being just dropped in it and dealing with how that setting is like is also part of the whole feel of it. Its gotten way too watered down. They ARE supposed to be penalized in Ravenloft. Deal with it? I bet you are the kind of player who would want metal weapons and water in DarkSun? C is just a piss poor excuse to hand wave away how Ravenloft is really supposed to be in favor of watering it down so much that it loses the feel it orginally had which got it popular in the first place. It should not be ignored. If anything very inhuman looking PCs such as Dragonborn, Half-Orc, Tiefling should have disadvantage on certain checks with most people in Raveloft until they start to prove themselves. Heck, the whole group may have to. Ravenloft they are usually distrusting of strangers. Seriously in a world with all kinds of horrible monsters disguised as people, you're going to trust a bunch of strangers just in town? Unlikely. ESPECIALLY if some of them look demonic or otherwise monstrous? Nope. Not in Ravenloft. D. Yes but not the same way as if a Dragonborn, Half-Orc or Tiefling appeared? Considering Elves are at least beautiful? You're totally missing the point 100%. E. They are still obedient servants and it wouldn't do evil things to the player they belong to. Only to people causing said player grief or annoying them. That is ALSO a big part of Ravenloft. It affects things differently. I suppose you also want to be able to turn undead as normal don't you? Ignore the horror RP with a stoic face? You really really don't get Ravenloft...there is nothing to be gained by talking with you. Please leave my thread. You are adding nothing to it. [/QUOTE]
