For player characters it allow the players select one civic"class" while having their personality look however the want, and Animal Crossing Items all beings are extremely"human-monster hybrid".

Eg. Emily's PC, Fia, is portrayed as being violet skinned and fanged, marginally"orcish" in her face but extended and gangly elven body type. It is a mishmash of different descriptions that works good with a"look how you would like, but employ a race's features".

It is also an optional rule. Personally, I think it is a bit OP since you can chose a feat on every race (a feat is basically like a talent and some are extremely strong), but in the end it is to make your character more elastic when you want to play with an Orc Wizard f.e. and don't have much use for the bonus strength.It's more fun because you can play any race as any class but it makes races just another bit of fluff information that you tell your celebration once and then they forget the entire game that their magician is a half-orc.

Plus the entire thing began because a bunch of people were whining about orcs being racist because they are D&D depiction of black individuals apparently, even though humans are a separate race...

I mean if your in a group at which the half orc is ignored today, than it was probably going to be ignored before. It's up to the participant to detirmine what they desire from the racial option, and the dm to enforce those decisions on.The first time that I saw this I legit did not get it. . .its because the personality is a color darker? Is it even? Don't these folks have real problems to worry about?

If you inform your DM you want to be a half-orc, and arrive at the table having an idea about what that means from a roleplaying perspective, without having spoken to the DM about it, and your experience differs from what you anticipated, than that's in you.It seems less like"caving to SJW's" and much more like just leaning into allowing good homebrew. A number of the recent changes seem to be at the direction of helping you play however you want, while helping you not break game equilibrium. As a rules-are-just-guidelines participant, this is super welcome.

Wow, my personality in the game I have at the present time is fighting to get orc rights but im not being a dick about it. Its more that I have a group with extreme murderer personalities who like to skin orcs and cheap Animal Crossing Bells cut of their toes once we conquer them. I didnt even understand folks officially whined about"orc racism"
