[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 7158069, member: 7635"] Still the point is Yarael doesn't want a copy of the PHB that gives him an OPTION to use non-polytheistic religions, he wants a version WITHOUT POLYTHEISM AT ALL. Tantamount to wanting a version of D&D that doesn't have ANY playable races beyond human since my game doesn't use any but human. I don't want other races depicted in the art, referenced in the class sections, magic items that references race (belt of dwarvenkind, boots of elvenkind), etc. Mostly, because race should be determined by the world, and a FR elf isn't the same as a Dark Sun elf, so having some default race is pointless anyway. Put races in the Campaign Setting books and supplements where they belong. See why its a non-starter? He doesn't want the option to ignore it, he feels he shouldn't HAVE TO in the first place and the PHB should accommodate that. So the DM removes all references to polytheism for Yarael, all the races but human for me, all the Forgotten Realms references for Corpsetaker*, all the Psionic references and monsters for Hussar*, etc... What do you have left? [SIZE=1]* Neither have specifically called for their removal in the PHB, I just used them for example. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
