Whether I have any interest in incorporating or using any sort of multiverse or planes-traveling in my adventures...THIS has been a statement waited and looked for since the beginning of the 5e material.Love it!This is really two statements. To be fair, the "everything but the kitchen sink" was alive and well, and in some cases desired, at many tables [I'm sure] in 1 and 2e. I know every new book or supplement that came out [since, as we all know, there was no internet back then. We were just hammering out PCs on our stone tablets <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ] in the late 1e/early2e era, I must have heard at least one player say "I wanna be this/that/the other."As for the dreaded and lamentable SSS ["Special Snowflake Syndrome". It is a medical condition! Lookit up. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />] That, I'll grant, IME was more of a 2e, with the class-specific "kits" splat books and race books and setting books, onward thing. But it kinda began with 1e UA and allowing, ya know, drow and svirf PCs...OH if we knew then... [Thanks Salvatore! DYING IN A FIRE IS TOO GOOD FOR YA, DRIZZ'T!]. If it is now infecting Paizo, that is very unfortunate to hear.But I would be cautious to not conflate the "kitchen sink" and the "special snowflake." One is, potentially, good free-range fun fer the whole family [i.e. "table"]. The other is evil incarnate.</blockquote>
