[QUOTE="Eryk, post: 3253940, member: 37779"] *waves* Hey, everybody. I'm likely going to regret this post, but...I live dangerously. All possible jokes and/or inflammatory comments aside, Alek...joking or not...has raised a point that if not valid has at least made me curious ever since the Great Ruling Switch. And let me say outright that I'm not saying the current rules are wrong and need to be picketed, etc, etc...just that this is something that has been making me curious. Why the complete ban on Oerthian drow? As far as I recall...and I've read the COC over a few times, but I'm not perfect, I know...no other kind of race or type has been completely banned. Yes, a lycan has to be in its human form. A vampire can't go flashing its fangs at every Tom, Dick and Sir Harry. A demon or catgirl or Toril drow or superintelligent Ysgaardian raven has to -somehow- hide what it is. But they can still be in the tavern. But an Oerthian drow...despite the fact that there is no darned way to tell them apart from a Faerun drow...just can't get past the door. I don't play any drow characters. Don't have anything against them, just never got around to it. So this is really something that has just genuinely perplexed me on a logical level. Anyone know the reason? [/QUOTE]
