'Dungeons & Dragons' To Remove Term 'Race' From Game Lexicon Due To Its "Prejudiced Links Between Real World And Fantasy Peoples...
Wizards of the Coast has officially announced that the term 'race' will no longer feature in any 'Dungeons & Dragons' material.
I agree with this part. I understand why people want to play as a thiefling or half-something but I never liked it. There is a reason why most mix of tigers and lions are sterile. Elves are not humans with pointy ears but at least there is some reason for it from Tolkien but I am not even sold on half-elves.
You know someone is playing for the first time when they decide to play as a Tiefling. Everything about it, from its appearance to its origin just screams "Look at how unique I am!"
