#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.
I’ve made a similar offer to players at my table. Unless I have some grievance with the mechanics (primarily flying races), anything officially published is on the table. However, if the race doesn’t exist in my setting, they have to reskin another race to achieve the desired statblock. The example I give is that catfolk aren’t a thing in my setting, but if you really wanted that speed boost effect, you could just be a really fast elf.
