No. Forest dwellers is environment, not biology, and the cultural/environmental element would be added to/folded into the background layer, not replace it. That’s an inherently different type of situation from “forest dweller” and elf, though. Dhampir is a magical state of being that narratively overwrites your mortal biology to make you a vampiric being.Where you’re from doesn’t overwrite your biology. Yes, I have been. My entire post was spent explaining why it’s a bad system. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />You say that as if you aren’t literally proposing to effectively erase those peoples from the game world. For no reason. It opens up nothing, because you’re still just using flavor to be a forest Orc. Consistency isn’t an improvement when it overly limits creativity and diversity of choice, which your proposal does. And you’re still failing to understand what the 3 new UA lineages even are. It’s not about expectations. Either actually engage with what I’m saying, or don’t reply. Dismissing what I’m saying in favor of a baseless assumption of what my objection is “really” about is contemptibly rude. I despise traditionalism. This is about the actual game design principles and their gameplay and chargen outcomes, not whatever nonsense about expecting Drow to be proficient in hand crossbows or whatever the hell.</blockquote>
