[QUOTE="DnD Warlord, post: 8183171, member: 7025237"] Okay. I realize this may be more of a “this needs a ground up rewrite and 6e” idea but with the latest unearth arcana having new lineages with no tools or languages or alignment (and I like it) I think we really need something for culture... a dwarf raised by humans might be dwarf linage but human culture. Now that could also help the people who DON’T like it because they can just not let mixing and matching. however that would require a rewrite of the races so far (meaning all PHB) and maybe remove the sub race. but what I really want is a new book... one that has culture (or culture and backgrounds) I would kill for a book that had say 10 pages per real world big civilizations (Roman, Celtic, Japanese,Chinese, sub Saharan Africa, Middle Africa, Egypt, Moors, Native American, Romani) mixed with say 2-3 elf, 1-2 dwarf, 1-3 gnome, a hafling based on hobbits a hafling based on kenders, 2 different dragon born and 3-5 mixed race fantasy... At most that would be 28 cultures. I bet you could do most in only 5 pages (PHB does stats in 1ish) but we give them 10 on average that is 280 pages leaving 8 pages for index table of content and other stuff. Cut 1/3 of those to 5-8 pages and the rest could be suggestions for mix and matching your own. [/QUOTE]
