[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6052142, member: 22779"] Oh barf. Back to Planescape. Yuck. Look, I know that Planescape has it fans. Obviously. But, I'm sorry, the whole Blood War thing and the bogus distinction between demons and devils, and the giant bludgeoning hammer of alignment just annoys the crap out of me. Succubus are demons because they incite lust? Really? So, basically, there is absolutely no difference between a demon or a devil, both can use identical tactics, for identical reasons. Wyatt says as much in the article. If they're the same, then why bother having two? Call them all fiends and be done with it. I do not want any Planescape in my D&D. It was a needless intrusion in 2e and continued all the way through 3e. Hey, if you like Planescape, great, but, don't cram it down my throat. I mean, anyone who favours this article should never, ever complain about the inclusion of any setting specific material in core. Warforged darn well be 100% fine by you if you feel that it's okay to include this in the game. I better not hear a single complaint about dragonborn or blink elves ever again. After all, if it's fine to add in something so pervasive as the Blood War into core D&D, it better be fine to have technomancy in core as well. I think this, more than anything else, is what bugs me about the whole cosmology debates that went on during 4e. It was perfectly fine for Planescape fans to ram their preferences down everyone's throats, but, we certainly can't touch anything else. Ah well, just means I cannot use any planar based modules from WOTC. Did that throughout 2e and 3e, so, I guess 5e won't be any different. [/QUOTE]
