[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8692805, member: 6801228"] No. I mean, I guess it is arbitrary that I don't do anything with Kuo-Toa, but Yuan-Ti being formerly, maybe human before devouring the flesh and blood of one of the world serpents to save their people from extinction, then procceeding to develop a culture of ritual cannabalism to try and reform the dead god within their own flesh as thanks for perserving their people from catastrophe is not arbitrary at all. I just didn't feel like typing all their lore. And Slaadi are Abominations from the Far Realms. In actuality, I've changed them significantly into an Empire bent on finding magic to fuel their horrid transformations and power their civilization to help them fight against the other Far Realm threats like the Illithid Hive Mind and the Existence that is the Deep Father. They aren't a playable race, so I didn't include them Thank you for insulting me, may I have another? Can't get too many internet people insulting me for my preferences. I like anime too, if you need more ammo. Who says I've never explained why dwarves, humans, elves and gnomes aren't related? Dwarves were forged by Moradin as a betrothal gift to his future wife. Elves are escaped hunting prey from the Feywild, whose gods are the great heroes who led them to freedom. Gnomes were once part of the Slaadi, til Garl Glittergold found magic, accidentally created the Gnomes, and fled to a beautiful world, where the forged their souls so that this material plane with its infinite wonder compared to the black endless void they once knew was their heaven. Humans escaped from a dying world and don't know their origins anymore. I explain where the races come from all the time. I know they aren't exactly the same as leopards and jaguars, but they can be trivially reskinned by literally just adjusting their fur color and head shape, things that never actually matter in the game.
