[QUOTE="Bolares, post: 8486207, member: 6790082"] C'mon, [USER=18]@Ruin Explorer[/USER] has already explained why the title is not saying what you thought it said when you first read it. It happens to the best of us, let it go. No one was calling anyone a racist, if they were, moderation would've already steped in. Factions can be funny hats, sure, but races can be too, there is a thread with hundreds of pages archived here in enworld discussing how halflings are just humans with funny hats. faction here is interchangeable with nation and culture. all those serve the same purpose here, giving more depth and diversity to races. I think it's really lazy to make every single race so monolitical. The same race should have more than one culture, the same culture should have more than one race. I've said it before here, but Eberron does this [B]very[/B] well for the most part of two decades now. Race is way less important than nation for cultural identity in that setting, and it is one of the settings with the least ocurrances of "humans in funny hats". It's okay for you to not like factionalism, just don't state it as a fact that it can't be done well. [/QUOTE]
