[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 44920, member: 1014"] Because the player needs a context for his or her charcter. Otherwise you just have a bunch of stat modifiers. And I think humans should have the same thing. Are they from the poor-beseiged nation, the rich-foppish nation, or the huge empire? One of the good things about Greyhawk was that it noted that the players would need this information to develop three dimensional characters. At least that's the way I feel. You say you like gnomes. [i]Bueno![/i] The last thing I would do is interfere with someone else's fun(*). But part of my fun comes from knowing how my character fits into the game world. And, as a GM, I don't have much use for that particular race. Less is sometimes more and rather than fill a setting with "stuff" I edited the selection down. Perhaps you think this was a bad choice. Perhaps you think I should go back and re-work the "gnecromancer" conecept into my world. Perhaps you think I'm just a random stooge. Regardless, we each have our own choices to make and this was mine. Happy gaming!
