[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5803227, member: 82106"] I think that's a HIGHLY dubious assertion that they "don't really fit". If there's anything about D&D it is what an utterly ecclectic kitchen sink it is. Everything fits. If stuff has to have 30 years of history behind it before it is allowed to stay in the game, that's a game I'm not wasting money on. Everything can fit and nobody gets to say THEIR favorite thing gets a bye simply because its old and not because it is GOOD. As for races and classes I don't really care that much which book they're in myself. I just think that the smart set of priorities is what is cool and not "well, that wasn't added until 2008 so we're not going to touch it for 3 years" or something. Dragonborn are cool, Devas are cool, lots of things are cool, and lots of those things were pretty popular with players in 4e. My bet is they'll be popular with players in 5e as well. If a few traditionalists are always going to get to be the guardians of what is and isn't going into D&D, then heck, it will be the D&D community that has made itself stale and irrelevant. People will move on, either to other games or 3PP content, etc. [/QUOTE]
