Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aldeon" data-source="post: 5966177" data-attributes="member: 6690450">This one's been mentioned a few times, but I absolutely hate the divide between arcane and divine magic. Can't a wizard telekinetically set a bone back in place or rewind time on the person's wound to undo the wound? Does it really have to be healed by Jerry, the cleric of the god-of-kill-everything? I love how Arcana Unearthed dealt with it by creating the magister and mage blade to remove the arcane-divine split (if only they didn't partially re-add it by making greenbonds).Although I love half-elves and half-orcs, it irks me that they exist. It really confuses me since these are separate species who can crossbreed. And it's not even like it's a normal thing, as only humans can do it-- an elf and orc can't create viable offspring, even though they apparently both have the same chromosomes as a human.This one isn't as much a shot at D&D as it is at the 4e playerbase: they are so damn restrictive with fluff. The 4e books actively encourage refluffing and I hear so many creative and interesting character ideas online by refluffing things slightly, but it seems that no matter where I go refluffing is a crime. I tried running an elf-orc halfbreed one time (using a completely crunch-legal half-elf with giant as my free language), only to be shot down because the books never said orcs and elves could procreate with eachother. Tried refluffing an shaman and his spirit companion as an elderly man and his brother's ghost-- NOPE. I've been playing 4e since it came out, but I have yet to have been able to refluff anything other than the names of powers in the ten or so DMs I've played under during that time.</blockquote>
