If you made a half-elf character, you're prob a racist

According to DnD the idea of half-species characters are inherently racist.
Very interesting point how are trying to mindbend this idea with real life nonsense. So if you are half caucasian and half asian for example, your very being is a product of racism.

Keep praising DnD and the rest of these very progressive companies, please.
Show the clear way for the people how to move on to a different franchise. Just like SW fans moved on to Warhammer.

Most fans I've seen have been ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on WotC for years

[Hobocop]

Who's praising WotC/Hasbro? They've been raked over the coals last year, and it doesn't have anything to do with whatever nonsense this clickbait article is on about.

Half-race isn't removed. The mechanics are removed. People can be half-race of any combination but with the feats and traits of only one of the parents and not a mix.

EDIT: And with any appearance the player chooses that fit within the chosen parent's feats and traits. (ex. A half-Gnome/Centuar with the Gnome traits would need to be a Small sized Centaur if the player wants to look like a Centaur.)

There are more opportunities for half-race in the UA than ever before with less balancing hassles.

Do some research before posting stuff like this.

It's pretty reasonable to presume that everything said by a private account is essentially a bait thread. Move on... there's nothing to see here.

I disagree with your initial statement there.

Why do that when I can be outraged now?

[Humpenstilzchen]

No this has nothing to do with racism.

The complete opposite. Wizards of the Coast are adding MORE half-race options. You'll be able to be any combination of half- you want.

Half-orc and half-goblin
Half-dragonborn and half-human
Half-dwarf and half-elf
Et cetera

And now you and the rest of the commenters know, I hope you act in good faith.

In the UA, I'm going to play a half-Harengon/Tortle with the Tortle traits. I'm going to name the character Mock Turtle after the Alice's Adventures in Wonderlands character.

That's something not possible in 5e.

[Hårgalåten]

DnD 5e is such a mess.....
Did you know that in the 1e edition, women had a strength stat limitation on creation?

Now male half orc and female gnome are the same stat wise, thank to Tasha rule-set that is supposed to give "more flexibility" to the players.

Orc are aggressive humanoid monsters that live in tribal societies, so half-orc get a innate tendencies for aggression and usage of strength to win respect by force, but now in the 5e they are "emotional being capable of filling their hearts with love to inspires acts of incredible kindness"

wtf is that ♥♥♥♥.

It's astonishing how desperate some people are to feel victimized. I'm so happy that I've never met any of them outside the internet. Of course, they'd be laughed out of the room if behaving like that in front of adults so that might be part of it.

You would, of course. Given that you were unable to articulate why you feel this way, it basically validates my view.

Low effort. Predictable.

[LordOfTheBread]

Must be racist then since in real life I'm also mixed race, makes all mixed races racists?

[Steffan]

On the tabletop, I have made a very racist elf. Most drow characters are also more or less racist. Does that make me or the other players racists? If somebody thinks that is the case, he should speak with their psychologist. It might help.

I'm a private account. :(

(I think? I mean. I can see my own for now. I'll need to open a private browser window to check if it's public or sign out and the hassle of signing back in.)
