[QUOTE="Not a Decepticon, post: 9464638, member: 7020527"] And I have pointed out that the "lore" you try to press is basically just eugenics. Not to mention it is alluded to in one sentence, with no elaboration. This isn't lore, it's your headcanon. You want us to accept a fanfiction idea you made off a single sentence as a canon thing in the books and demand we only argue acknowledging lore that benefits your argument and arbitrairy disqualify everything else. This you? Because "heavy trooper" and "shock trooper" sound like roles to me. And we all told you said aspects were not enough to justify having both Orcs and Half-Orcs. Please reread the post I quote and see in what context am I using the line "put them in", then realize how little sense your reply makes. With all due respect, back off. I'm playing my game with a number of house rules and in one of old settings, Mystara, desptie it being incompatible with lore presented in 5e. I don't come to threads abotu design discussion and debate over game design choices, to be acussed of having huge ego for participating in design discussion and debate over game design choices. In fact, even people working for WotC did this - Planeshift Ixalan has Orcs entry just boil down to "use Half-Orc statistics". You can say that about anything, it's a meaningless phrase. [/QUOTE]
