[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 7687833, member: 6803643"] 1. People won't play what they don't have the rules for. People could say that they want to play something but end up not playing it because they can't carry over their characters from one setting to the next. That survey has to be taken in a context with many other surveys, not the the least of which is the most recent one. It's hard to choose a second setting when they're all pretty low compared to FR. 2. The Warlord Board on ENWorld is a result of a relative small number of players yelling loudly for something they want. ENWorld may be the biggest fan-forum for D&D, but it's still a small sliver of the group that takes the online surveys, let alone the entirety of the D&D install-base. 3. Aasimar have official sanctioned mechanics in the DMG. SCAG even referenced them. I'll give you Goblin though. Would like to see PC stats for them. Remember that 4e PC stats for Goblins didn't come until near the end of the life cycle of that edition. Yes, they had them in the back of the MM1, but they weren't fully written up until much later. 5e only rights up stats if they do them the full way (with the exception of a few sidebars and examples). 4. Bladesinger, Battlerager, and Purple Dragon Knight have absolute restrictions in the Adventure League. The Adventure League also restricts you from playing Aasimar, Eladrin Elves, and Aarakocra. It also prevents you from playing a Goliath Totem Warrior Barbarian of the Elk or a Genasi Purple Dragon Knight. If you are NOT playing in the Adventure League, these restrictions are entirely fungible, and the SCAG mentions so outright. 5. Bladesinger plays quite differently from Eldritch Knight. Its more comparable to the War Domain Cleric versus the Paladin, or how you can build a Ninja-type character via the Monk Way of Shadow, the Assassin Archetype for Thieves, or a number of other different combinations (such as the Trickster Domain Cleric for a particularly devout organization of Ninjas). 5e D&D has sets absolute territory for classes but lets subclasses muddy the waters and step on each others toes, to allow different paths to similar, but ultimately different, characters.
