#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.
Depends on the context of the setting and the story. I mostly tend to allow all official PC races without any objection. I see an adventurer is an outlier of society and not the norm.
In the games I tend to run I either swing between everything is allowed or just one is allowed.
If I want to do an mini adventure about a goblin clan fighting a kobold incursion, then everyone is playing goblins.
He’s asking about in-game legal restrictions. For example, Matt Colville has had players that play dragonborn, mainly because of the bounty and the fact that they are defying Lord Ajax by simply existing.
