[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9075209, member: 6790260"] I did not say the staff said that. I said people did. You are conflating different comments I made in different places. And I consider a forum post just as much "to my face" as a spoken word. If you don't, fine, but that's your problem, not mine. Nope! Yet another blatant edition war screed people accept uncritically without actually knowing what happened. There were no rules for PC gnomes in 4e PHB1. There were some monster entries that were gnomes. (A very small joke was made about this in an animation, with the gnome saying "rawr, I'm a monster!") Gnomes were included in PHB2 less than a year later. Every official book of 4e was core content, so it was literally like 9-10 months wait to get full support. That was the same book that offered Barbarian, Bard, Druid, and Sorcerer. Such hyperbole, "wiped off the face of the Forgotten Realms," often spoken in total ignorance, is not uncommon either. Edit: But this thread is neither the time nor the place to continue this discussion. I had intended to leave it with what I had already said. I will [I]definitely[/I] say no more about it in this thread now. If you wish to discuss it further, a new thread can be started for it. [/QUOTE]
