More "Reduce everything to a gray meaningless mush" by Wotc.
Why is it so hard for woke people to accept reality?
Some cultures are better than others. Some environments are better than others. Some religions are better than others.
D&D has "RACES" for crying out loud! RACES with different ability score adjustments, movement rates, magical aptitudes, etc.
is it RACIST to be a drow? A people whose lowest ability scores were once all 15!
They really are trying to destroy what D&D was.
The Drow were one of the deadliest foes to have in all the realms.
They were brutal. Their hearts had no room for mercy. Their goddess did not allow weakness.
Somehow, they bred constantly enough to make up for all of the infighting, backstabbing, and assassination...
Their society was a virtual meat grinder.
You lived in constant TERROR or turned your fear into a need to dominate others.
They were EVIL. They practiced slavery, ritual sacrifice, and more all in service to a DEMON-GODDESSS.
I guess they pondered the philosophy questions too much:
what would an evil society be like? would it survive for long?
what would a chaotic society be like? how could it stand?
Could there ever be such a thing?
Would serving a Chaotic evil society as a chaotic evil person, be from their view..? lawful good?
Would that make rebels like D'rzzt, into CHAOTIC EVIL from the drow society point of view?
and the rabbit hole just keeps on going...
