[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8572926, member: 23751"] Fluff exists within rule sections. Dwarf: "[B]Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions.[/B] You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray." According to you, the bold part is a rule since it's found in a rule section. That means that if my dwarf is born above ground and lives there for his entire life, he cannot have darkvision. Elf: "[B]Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky,[/B] you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray." The bold is a rule since it is found in the rules section. My elf born underground and spending his entire life there cannot have darkvision, since the rule is that I get it from twilit forests and the night sky. Forest gnomes can't have darkvision since gnomes get their darkvision from living underground. Not a lot of underground forests. Barbarians can't attack recklessly unless they are desperate or if they have even a very small concern for their safety. Yada yada. There is a lot of fluff mixed into the rules of races and classes, as well as in other portions of the rules. You are trying to declare the druid fluff a rule and failing. It's says "won't" not "can't." [/QUOTE]
