Were they say they are removing'race' for Animal Crossing Items following entrances because iT wAs rAcIsT? I really don't know about D&D but I have always been a fan of Warhammer Fantasy RPG and I swear to god in the last rulebook they say'species' instead of'races' such as in last variant, wtf is wrong with everything.They removed racial bonuses in the most recent rule publication. You select your own today so you can be a strong elf or a smart orc.

They didn't really even eliminate racial bonusesthey just gave you the option to alter them if you would like.

The matter is, people might have been doing this anyway, but it's in the rules for 5e. Like, one of the greatest items in DnD is homebrew and tweaking the rules as you see fit. If people don't desire evil orcs, they could just not have evil orcs in their effort, it's so simple.I hear Not Another D&D Podcast and their campaign exists in a universe where interbreeding has been something for millenia, therefore there are no"races". Every being is a great number of distinct racial aspects.

For player characters it let the players pick one civic"class" while using their personality look however the desire, and all beings are extremely"human-monster hybrid".

Eg. Emily's PC, Fia, is described as being violet skinned and fanged, slightly"orcish" in her face but extended and gangly elven physique. It is a mishmash of different descriptions that works great having a"look how you want, but apply a race's attributes".

Personally, I think it's a bit OP since you can chose a feat on every race (a feat is essentially like a gift and some are extremely powerful ), but in the end it's to create your character more elastic once you want to play an Orc Wizard f.e. and don't have much use for the bonus strength.It's more fun because you can play some other race as any class but it makes races only another piece of fluff details which you tell your party once and then they overlook the entire game that their wizard is a half-orc.

Plus the whole thing started because a group of people were complaining about orcs being displaced because they're D&D depiction of Buy Nook Miles Ticket black people seemingly, even though individuals are a separate race...
