[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8685530, member: 22779"] Heh. I'd point out though, that we do wind up taking up space in the PHB with a race that just isn't really rocking anyone's world. Why not swap it out for something else that might get a bit more traction? If I ran the world, and I was going to bang out a new PHB every 10 years or so, why not make it a bit of a Survivor series where the bottom one or two races each time gets bumped to the DMG in favor of something new? If the new thing doesn't catch on, so be it, it gets bumped out for the next try. If it does catch on, then, well, whatever scrapes the bottom of the barrel next time around gets bumped. So on and so forth. At least it makes the PHB relevant to what is actually getting played at people's tables. I guess I don't understand the idea that we must not change the PHB simply because of decisions made nearly 50 years ago. I mean, we have new classes and other classes have gone away. We have new equipment and other equipment has gone away. The 5e spell list is about half the length of the 3e one. Why not try a little bit of fresh flavor for the races as well? [/QUOTE]
