Lol. You know, those are some good points. Larian made it up and WotC did not say they couldn't. Like it or not, it's canon now baby. Lol.
Same with race, people. I guess Drow have now evolved to being their own race.
I really don't care. I can play a Drow, they're my favorite characters that I've made, they look cool, they have different dialogue options even from each other because one is Llothsworn and one is not, Im good.
