[QUOTE="Savage Wombat, post: 6390439, member: 1932"] The distinction is in how you argue. You have previously compared Planescape Lore to elements like Dragonlance or Ravenloft - implying that the version of these creatures we describe is a niche interpretation, an offshoot from the main game. And that including PS in core materials is equivalent to having halflings be kender or minotaurs be pirates. Instead, we are describing what was the main, core rules description of these monsters for a long period of D&D, and a period that was fairly definitive in setting the "official" lore for the D&D cosmos. And to large degrees, 3rd edition did not directly contradict most of these interpretations. So yes, several of us would like to have 2nd edition canon, which was an elaboration, of 1st edition canon, continue into 5th edition instead of being altered into something new. And that's pretty much always the case when you're talking about canon - people like it to be official, and not randomly changed. Or in other words - we understand that you disagree. We don't understand why you continue to assert that we're being so unreasonable. [/QUOTE]
