[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8193287, member: 23751"] Literally nobody ever claimed that they all had magic, though, Mr. Strawman. So yes, it's a Red Herring. Of course it matters to PCs whether or not DMs allow feats. It would be absurd to think otherwise. It doesn't matter to NPC Deep Gnomes, because they generally aren't built like PCs. I'll let you read the DMG to figure out the truth of that, because from your argument here, it doesn't seem like you've read that book, either. I'll also let you read the MM to see that literally every Deep Gnome that isn't a PC has innate magical ability without the need for a feat. I'll let you think about that for a bit. :LOL: That had to be a joke. No. Literally none of that is why I told you that you were wrong. It is another fantastic Strawman, though. I never made up my own version or said that I made up my own version. Dude, you gave me a quote that didn't say what you said he said. And no, I'm not going to go back and try and disprove your statement. You made a statement about him. You're almost never correct with your statements. I told you that I'm not going to just believe you when you make a statement any longer and would need a quote. You gave me a quote that failed. It's on you to prove your words, not me. Either do it or don't. 1) I had not yet read Goblins, since I haven't used them in 5e yet. 2) I read about Goblin lairs in both Volo's and the MM and not one word says that they raid for ceramics. It does say that they raid for objects to test the waters, but I doubt they are looking for soap dishes, instead of silver and gold objects which have value and use. Nothing in the lair write-up contradicts me. Of course, to even be near a Halfling village in the first place, that Halfling village needs to be near a mine or abandoned mine for the Goblins to set up their lair in. [/QUOTE]
