[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8824610, member: 6801228"] Why do you always do this? Why do you think that because I express a well-researched and well-founded opinion I must be "I AM THE SINGLE ARBITER OF TRUTH ACROSS ALL THINGS!!!!" about it? Like, you realize that instead of trying to make this position sound like it is insane, implying I must somehow require everyone to have read all of DnD and reference some weighted formula, you could just... give examples of why I'm wrong about humans. I mean, despite your cussing and theatrics, I'm not discounting the Designers of DnD at all, nor am I discounting the rulebooks. I am in fact referencing those materials. So, since I'm referencing those materials, instead of just trying to make the PHB the only possible thing that can define DnD (which would also apply and discount Dark Sun Halflings) you could reference some official world where DnD humans aren't as I describe. Except... you can't. Can you? See, this is the trick about your whole show here. You have never once actually said I am wrong about humans. You declared that the PHB was accurately described, but you've never provided evidence that the settings 100% follow the PHB and have no humans who are kind, content, small-time villagers who don't want anything to do with adventure. You declare my position ridiculous... but you don't actually refute my position. And before you once more start in on Dungeon Masters, I again must remind you, Dungeon Masters do not write official DnD content for WoTC. Just because little Timmy made a world where every human grows spikes and breathes fire, doesn't mean that is official DnD content from WoTC. So, how about it? Instead of writhing around trying to make me seem unreasonable or out-of-touch or trolling or whichever flavor you have today, can you actually disprove what I am saying about humanity in DnD? Do you have a counter-argument, or is it just more attacks attempting to discredit me? [/QUOTE]
