[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 7162732, member: 6778044"] Exactly. Just like you don't have to use barbarians, or dragonborn, or githyanki, or flumphs, or anything else in the books. But those are all part of the lore of D&D at this point, like it or not. Just like the multiverse. That's part of where they've planted their flag and said "this is part of what makes D&D D&D." It doesn't mean you have to use it to play D&D, but it is part of the framework that they design the game and the books around. The multiverse is their way of explaining how all of these disparate parts coalesce under the umbrella of one game. And the gods that live in that multiverse define, in part, some of the differences between those settings. The bottom line is that you can choose to use or not use whatever parts of the game you want. But we don't get to choose what parts of the game that [I]they[/I] put into the books. [/QUOTE]
