[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 8781992, member: 7033886"] Both 2e and 3e D&D had books that covered the races in greater detail. For instance, 2e had books such as the [I]Complete Book of Elves [/I]which talked about the history and culture of elves while also providing elf-specific kits for the various D&D classes. 3e had [I]Races of the Wild[/I] , which did the same as the Complete Books of Elves in addition providing racial substitution levels, elven feats, elven weapons, and elven magic. The other Player Character races in 2e and 3e received the same amount of love. Pathfinder 1st edition continued on with this practice by coming out with their Player Companion books such as [I]Elves of Golarion[/I] and their [I]Inner Sea Races[/I] book. Race was significant back then, but not now because WoTC sadly has accumulated too much baggage that it is now seeking to shed. If you want to find anything on races in 5e, you have to seek it out in 3rd party material or someone's homebrew. Hehe. I am afraid that the topic for this particular thread has been dropped. :p [/QUOTE]
