[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3929509, member: 2067"] Well, playing as a dark elf has some weight. People know what drow are, the concept isn't alien, and it's an easily grokked archetype. But, regardless, I don't think many people wanted to play drow period until Drizzit slashed onto the scene. Blah blah blah [B]inconvenience for playing a DL, FR, or GH game[/B]. Quit takin' my stuff outta context, Context Thief! Right, but D&D was more than just it's own IP. The more heavily D&D leans on it's own inventions, excluding the richness of the fantasy worlds outside of it, the more obtuse it becomes. Golden Wyvern Adept references NOTHING in ANYONE'S mental database. Yet. Yes, and it's inconvenient for them to be there instead of in the PHB. Inconvenience. I've gone over this above. I don't particularly feel like repeating myself on these points. HA! Okay, seriously, now, what page of the PHB is the Druid on? Because if we have that, I guess it's not so inconvenient. Sure thing, chicken wing, but then you've gotta convince me that some soul somewhere in the world thinks this is true. Plus, I've never once said that shifting from 1e to 2e wasn't even inconvenient. You, on the other hand, did say that shifting from 3e to 4e wouldn't even be inconvenient. So now I showed that it is. I shall expect your apology for propagating this gross misinformation to come in the form of cookies, promptly, or I am forced to assume you are a cad and a knave. [/QUOTE]
