Message: <blockquote data-quote="Helldritch" data-source="post: 8123220" data-attributes="member: 6855114">I allowed a lawful good drow almost immediately after the UA came out. It was not a ranger but a cavalier (as per the rule, he was sponsored. His goal was to become a paladin of Heironeous. Which he did achieve. Again, exceptions are not the rule.)I have allowed a halfling rangers in 1ed and a lot of other things. Every single times, it was clear that it was a one shot. If a player had a good interesting and not OP concept (I smell power gamers from miles around) then the chances for me to say yes are great. Especially if it is playing against type. The struggle to "show" the world rings an harmonious bell.But that bell can't ring if everyone can do anything without repercussions or struggles. Is it a bit clearer? I hope so.I am not a monster that wants the game to be set in stones for ever. A game must evolve to stay healthy and interesting. But a change for the sake of change or to accomodate a current view or fad is way out of order in my mind. Just like the demons and devils had to change their names for Tanar'ri and Baatezu, I see this change in racial to be a movement of panic and fear from WotC to be accused of racism and whatnot.</blockquote>
