[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6995593, member: 6701872"] I don't really care what you are "afraid" of - the two of us have equal standing as scholars on the matter, and we disagree. Do you know what that means? It means we both have equally valid [I]opinions.[/I] I'm not wrong, you're not wrong - there just isn't a fact to be had about whether something truly "fits" or not. It actually means pretty much just that. Just like prior products out of those "every printed product" added things to the setting which were not even hinted at by prior products before 5th edition, even before 3rd edition, and that was perfectly acceptable for them to be fit in, so it is now. That's just the thing; you preferring a different course of action doesn't make that course of action [I]objectively[/I] better.
