Say Goodbye to Druids, shamans and witches

[Alex]

Wizards of the coast in all their woke wisdom have deemed these classes problematic for some reason and at least some if not all will be removed or re-branded for MGT, which means eventually from every thing else. So enjoy it while it lasts.

ikr its just about the biggest idiocy i can recall in my lifetime

I am surprised they're keeping Paladins in, since a paladin is a crusader that kills saracens. You'd think if they were getting rid of anything they'd get rid of that.

Can't wait when they rename K***hts, it is right on the surface.

Oh hyperbole. How I've missed thee.

is this just an unofficial 'whine about wotc' board lol. here i was, briefly confused, thinking 'druid is a class in this game' and it turns that no, this wasn't about this game at all.

Is it going to be replaced with last generation, healing practicioner, self-help coach and influencer now?

If this is the biggest idiocy you can recall in your lifetime then you presumably have lived in a box until now.

I encounter much bigger idiocy on a daily basis in work and in life.

Regardless, i have no idea what OP is talking about, but sounds like they are just renaming some classes to be gender neutral?

Paladins replaced by "Social Worker", the new healer class. All heals heal enemies as well as team-mates, incapable of any offensive behavior, not allowed to carry any weapons by game rules. "Smite" now replaced with "Empathetic plea" giving enemies a bonus to attack against the social worker and allies a debuff on attack roles against the enemy. Key phrases including "They're not looters, they're just reparation collectors." and "NOT IN THE FACE! NOT IN THE FACE!".

Who cares. You can do anything you want at your table. You don't need WotCs permission.

Not even gender neutral, it is because those names are, quote: "real world religious identifier". I wonder why priests were excluded from this supposed protection of religious feelings.

After further review I see this is a Magic the Gathering thing so I care even less.

We had Rick & Morty D&D. Now I am terribly afraid of South Park D&D where you pick your PC SJW class who channels powers from every time a Tiefling is called "hellspawn" for their righteous smite. That on the one hand. On the other hand I remember the hilarious laughter I had with the difficulty choices of South Park game. That reminds me: when new South Park episodes?

Pssst. Nothing to see here. You are just a conspiracy theorist! There is no woke agenda! /irony


Well they want to forbid the word "race" for D&D fantasy races aswell.. Go figure.

Woke / neo-marxist people will never cease to amaze me, with their constant willingness to feel offended. Contantly walking on eggshells must be exhausting, but for them it's their whole reason to exist. To gain and to keep an imaginary morale highground, a status of superiority, power (Because in the end, "that's all that matters"). To persuade themselfes, that they matter and that they have done something great for all man- sorry, "human kind". xD

It has become a trend for them to fight senseless wars for their own hypermoral, ignorance and as an uninvited defender of everything "minority", following the lies of moodern intersectionality. Everyone and everything has to obey their cult or is marked as an heretic.


Do you remember the satanic panic? One of the arguments was, that D&D will unknowingly influence and manipulate kids to the point they couldn't distinguish fiction from reality.

WOTC seems to not be able, to distinguish fiction from reality anymore.


It is called a culture war for a reason and is has even been finally admitted by Bob Iger, that it's actually a thing.

This ♥♥♥♥ is actively destroying our culture.

Still continues the trend that WotC has been going down of "we need to find more and more things problematic because otherwise the sensitivity readers will be out of a job. It doesn't matter how ridiculous or nonsensical the things they find offensive are."
