#DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?

@dnd

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.

@Toes
Not what I'm asking. I'm asking for lore ideas, like why would the King have outlawed Orcs and put a Bounty on their heads.

But is is common for flying characters to be banned. Not sure why. Everybody can get a bow or crossbow, and there's no cover up there.

For me it's more about trivializing certain puzzles. Pretty much everything with a chasm gets reduced to "I pick up a rope and fly over there.". Sometimes, that's ok, but sometimes I don't want it to be that simple.

Well, life has gotten a whole lot simpler, since I stopped DMing DnD altogether.
