[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 4836856, member: 53980"] Keep in mind that for some people (myself included) this lack of fluff is rather liberating. Instead of having to limit myself to WotC's fluff, I have free reign to make up lots of fluff on my own (assuming the DM allows it). I understand that that isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I certainly disagree that it implies less roleplay potential. Possibly less roleplay potential for some, but more for others. (For example, I recently created a pseudo-pacifistic dwarven cleric of the Suns whose radiant attacks are "soothing beams of light from the heavens". Being a sort-of "shamanistic" priest, he follows the suns' example of not personally engaging in direct violence. He literally calms his enemies until they fall into the deep sleep of unconsciousness, without causing them wounds or pain. I can finally play a pacifist without worrying that my role play is dragging down the rest of the party.) [/QUOTE]
