Actually, the WHAT is far more egregious, IMHO since that gives a concrete mechanical element to the why. Player 1: "Orcs! I get a +1 to hit orcs!"Player 2: "Why is that?"Player 1: "Uh..."DM: "In my world, dwarves fight orcs with a strong hatred and developed techniques to fight them.Player 2: "Huh. I'm an elf. You said elves and orcs have been at war since the elf god blinded the orc god. Why don't I get a +1 to hit orcs?"DM: "Uh..."All the Why does is provide a DM to unconcerned to create a why with a creative one out the box. If he needs to change it, he can. If he doesn't, he has a fallback issue.</blockquote>
