#DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?
I am feeling inspired by #mcdm_productions worldbuilding where all Dragonborn have a bounty on their heads, which was set by the current king. I would like to do something similar in mine with Orcs, but I’m not sure how to handle that lore-wise.
@Shkshkshk @dnd I’m currently running a campaign that I’ve restricted to just the PHB, or do you mean a setting where a race is in the world, but simply existing is punishable by some means?
Same, I actually think for new players, it is best to limit the race options to not overwhelm them with joice
My DMs have always banned flying characters.
Is that common?
@Toes
Not what I’m asking. I’m asking for lore ideas, like why would the King have outlawed Orcs and put a Bounty on their heads.But is is common for flying characters to be banned. Not sure why. Everybody can get a bow or crossbow, and there’s no cover up there.
For me it’s more about trivializing certain puzzles. Pretty much everything with a chasm gets reduced to “I pick up a rope and fly over there.”. Sometimes, that’s ok, but sometimes I don’t want it to be that simple.
Well, life has gotten a whole lot simpler, since I stopped DMing DnD altogether.
