Is that pants on head retarded thing where drow fetuses have a death match in the womb still canon in 5e?

It was never canon.
It was from a Dragon Magazine article printed when Paizo had control of the magazine and it was considered "take these with a grain of salt."

Son your lack of education is showing. See that question mark after the bit you quoted?

But are you ready for them to be half goth vampires, half fetish drow, and half furry werewolves with trenchcoats and dark daikatanas?

The phrasing is unclear, he might as well be asking if the thing is pants on head retarded and then specify the thing he's talking about in the rest of the sentence. That's how I understood it.

So what you're saying is it's DEFINITELY canon in Pathfinder.

Samuel Haight was a thing back then, you know?

>canon in Pathfinder

Probably, Pathfinder is full of all sorts of weird shit.

Let's remove the descriptors and clarification from the sentence
>Is that... thing... still canon in 5e?
If he was asking if the thing was retarded, the words would be arranged so that "Is that retarded?" was at the back end of the sentence. And since that would be a question about opinions (Whereas asking if it's still canon is asking about a fact), it would be more along the lines of "do you think that's retarded?"

I was making a joke until I looked for him....what the fuck is wrong with people?

But that's great.

The 90s were a strange period man.
And now you see why I'm so unfazed.

>Veeky Forums - Traditional Grammar

>are drow retarded?

They are elves, so yes.

WELCOME TO THE 90's

It's certainly canon in my games.

I'm always looking for ways to crowbar my fetishes into games, while at the same time using them for horror or other campaign appropriate purposes. It's gone pretty well so far.

I'm getting turned on by that pregnant dark elf. I've never had a thing for pregnant women or elves before, but it works, and I can't figure out why.

>Is [blank] still canon in 5e?
It's a VERY simple question. There's nothing unclear about it.

>I've never had a thing for pregnant women or elves before, but it works

Your parents must be overjoyed to learn you're finally over that little "Homosexual" phase you were going through.

That comes from a 2002 Dragon Magazine article, and was never mentioned again. It's debatable if it was ever "canon" at all.

Are you implying all straight men are attracted to pregnant women and elves?

They should be.

Pregnant, happy, non-enslaved elves warm the hearts of all good men.

not posting this:

>Veeky Forums - Thank God
As in, thank god at least ONE board on Veeky Forums still knows how to read and values literacy.

>than that produced in

PRODUCED IN WHAT?!?

>non-enslaved
Nigger u wat.

Oh. OH. You said "good" men.

Sex.

The babies killing each other feels better than sex.

If that thought doesn't get you hot and bothered though, I don't know what's wrong with you.

It was only mentioned in one Dragon Magazine article, so I seriously doubt it's canon. Even back then it was at best deutrocanonical. It's more likely to be canon in PF, considering the article was written by the people who went on to write PF.

Regardless, post more pregnant drow. I need them for...reasons. Elves are fine too in a pinch.

No it isn't.
That would be "Is it pants on head retarded that drow fetuses having a death match in the womb is still canon in 5e"

You just fucking misread stop trying to defend yourself

This entire thread is making me very aroused.

...Chaos Factor was still better than Dead Gods..
Seriously, fuck Orcus, and fuck Monte Cook.

Shouldn't you two be off watching Uncle Grandpa or something?

Just gonna mention -- according to Drow of the Underdark, drow dress down to show aggression and confidence. So if a drow woman is naked, she thinks she's being scary.

u butthurt that the literally best god got the Last Word in?

...

>The phrasing is unclear
No, it isn't. You're just a bit dumb.

Well, suddenly seeing where she keeps all the spiders is bound to be at least unnerving.

Get DR 1 and poison immunity and you're in for a great time

>I'm always looking for ways to crowbar my fetishes into games
Found a new banner

Considering drow are demon corrupted and worshipers of said demons (mostly) to escape death by aboleth celestial bombardment, I'd say it's probably likely.

I had this kind of thing going on already before I read about it in their fluff through...so that might be a false positive.

No. I don't think it has ever been in a canon source. Dragon magazine is dubious.

>canon
Depends on the setting
Is there a standard D&D setting?
That must be the most boring thing I have ever heard about.

I'd say that it happens now and then just like one human twin will occasionally die or be absorbed by the other. The only difference is that crow see it as a good sign, as the surviving baby has already begun racking up a body count.

Back of the knee

Okay so this is actually a good bit of fluff and I don't know why you think it's pants-on-head retarded. It's by no means the first xenobiology thing to pitch the idea of twins as the norm, only one of which survives to birth.

You can maybe explain why you think it's bad (I would prefer an argument beyond "edgy") and I'll explain why I think it's good: it makes every Drow already a murderer. It doesn't actually matter if this piece of fluff is true or not, even. If Drow society accepts this as true then that's enough. Any number of moral objections from young Drow can be quashed with this: you're already a murderer, you already killed, there is no line for you to feel bad about crossing. You crossed it before you could even think of crossing it, you were born bad. It definitely works within Drow society and it holds up the intense pressures and transgressive actions of that society.

It also means there's some room to play around with unusual Drow where both twins have survived (what's the social outlook on this?) or Drow who weren't born as a twin (or this?). How does death-twin Drow society regard triplets or higher multiple births? It's fun. This fluff works within the context of Drow society and it gives you a range of new possibilities to explore in that society. It's not bad or dumb IMO.

Drow in Pathfinder are like a type of illness that evil elves get.

You'd really think the board centered around reading and literacy would be the one in charge of that

whatever tripfag

>3edgy5me
>3.5
Oooh.

What
I never heard of this

Paizo's writers put this and a bunch of other fetish-shit in Dragon. It's really fucked up.
>Inb4 futa lamias

futa lamias you say

go on

Die. Painfully.

I probably will, but first I'd like to know what paizo has to say on this subject.

Learn to read.

Futa lamias in Dragon? That's disgusting. In the magazine? There's so many of them though. Where? Which one?

Knowing Paizo, it's probably less fetish shit and more "Muh progressivism, check your privilege cis scum"

>Dark Daitakatanas

Ah, but Veeky Forums is about games, and games have RULES. So naturally we're pretty good at rules here, and that extends beyond simply games.

Eh...someone at Paizo (I wanna say Sean Reynolds, but I could be wrong) chewed out people for being chewed out about the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity still being a cursed item, pointing out all the good reasons why it's still considered a cursed item despite how useful it would be to someone who wants to be the opposite of their biological gender.

So I find it hard to dislike them on that front.

Is Sean Reynolds the guy who often butts heads with JJ?

Welcome to Veeky Forums. Enjoying your stay so far?

...

Not what I meant, but whatever.

That's because you're only looking at what the board is ostensibly about, not what it's actually for. Veeky Forums is for smugly circlejerking about your own intellectual superiority, which ironically requires little intelligence or skill of any kind. Veeky Forums is for cultishly defending the only system you've been able to find a group for as if you had a choice, or an obscure system you've decided is your favorite despite having never played it and either way you have to at least skim the rules to even pretend to discuss them.

How's that any different from Veeky Forums finding mechanical benefits from curses or figuring out how to turn something mundane into something much more potent or destructive? Someone at Paizo seems to think like we do.

Seems accurate
