[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8186803, member: 93670"] on top of the "well you fix it" problem... I would & did by running my games in a setting more like eberron or darksun but keep having to fight the PHB every time a player cites the setting exclusive stuff. Now I can point at yet another book such as rising EE & others, but now I'm faced with pushback amounts to "it works for some other table why is it a problem for yours" by someone pointing at their cherished [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit']1937 notjustahobbit[/URL] That's fine there are settings with other systems. Darksun is pretty much a post-apocalyptic brutally authoritarian mageocracy. Eberron has a variety of governments ranging from remote rural tribes to a pseudo-constitutional monarchy a failed/failing state and even one nation where the king has explicitly setup something akin to Edward I's 1272 establishment of parliment to go into motion upon his death among other systems. Whatever system you put in place for your world imposes certain baselines for the world & some of those baselines establish routes that the free willed individuals within that world would show interest in taking to better themselves individually as well as collectively. The PHB halflings carve out a space where everyone suddenly loses free will & plays a game of the floor is lava with just as much logic as the child's game by that name. If you don't like it what would you rather use? as to "they live in some dutchy" or whatever sure, but it explicitly says they don't have kings/nobles/etc & it's not a big secret that people are saying that's because they live so far out of the way. Living far out of the way is fine & all, goblins & kobolds in FR check that box, but using that box introduces a different set of problems that goblins & kobolds do address. [USER=6687260]@Don Durito[/USER] if you have specific areas of confusion you aren't getting you can try asking about them & someone could try to answer but it seems like you've expressed that you don't get the problem without any questions a few times through the thread, we don't bite :D [/QUOTE]
