Re: Canon Rant Thread

The only thing that does not manage to be wrong with 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons in general and Forgotten Realms in particular is that from what I have read, Mystra has a chance of coming back.

In their attempt to streamline everything, WotC killed of a pile of deities, deleted some interesting races, changed the whole concept of others, traded around race names so the name of some obscure but cool races they deleted are now tacked onto bog-standard Elves.

Examples: They killed the whole Drow pantheon except Lolth. That means they removed all alternate options for Drow, including Eilistraee, the Good Drow goddess, but not just her, but lesser-known ones like Vhaeraun (drow god of thieves, Lolth's son, Eilistraee's brother) and Kiaransalee, goddess of Undead and Vengance.

They totally reworked both Tieflings and Aasimars so instead of being descendants of people who breed with Demons/Devils and Celestials, they're from dynasties of people who made deals with them. They also set tieflings to have only one body style, removing the random and variable factor in them.
They also totally deleted some types of Celestials, like Eladrin, and handed over that particular name to Elves - a brief Google makes me think they gave the name to Gold Elves (the stuck-up superior assholes of Elves). I liked the Celestial Eladrin.

I disliked the disabling of the Mage class with the whole spellplague plot, and it looks like they killed several of the really cool but underused archmages as well. Like I said before, the only thing that doesn't make me angry about that plot is that they appear to have the groundwork in place for restoring Mystra... eventually.
