[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8109208, member: 7025282"] That is what is absurd. Humanity is incredibly diverse. Elves, dwarves, etc. have some tendencies that differentiates them from humans. Actually [I]had [/I]to be more precise. I am going to try to keep an open mind but I think this was an ideological move and less a game centric one. I hope I am wrong because I would rather think someone took a swing and missed than felt they absolutely had to wave a bat around or else. the archetypes Crawford mentioned will in fact become an artifact of an older game. If you like that, you win. If you like common in-game understanding of the fiction that can be tweaked for your world I think you lose. As much as we say “optional” it often becomes then common expectation. As soon as you say “no drow” people lose their minds. Railroading! Restrictive! Whatever. it will take a while to know what this will do. I hope 5 years from now I eat my words but really doubt it. I hope to be wrong. [/QUOTE]
