I'm creating this thread to be a better location for the discussion of the decision to recolor the Drow as the other thread is an improper location for such discourse considering its origin as a Gnoll discussion.

See here: Niche-Request Gnoll Ancestry Thread

As I expressed in that thread, I feel that the decision to make Drow Lilac in color (having looked at the Bestiary since they're more of a Baby Blue or at best Periwinkle - see below) is a poor one. It makes them non-threatening and even though the drow in the Bestiary front and center has an eye-patch he's downright -cute- (see picture: Bestiary Image of Drow ).

Color Comparison: Color Comparison Image
Color 1 = Baby Blue
Color 2 = Lilac
Color 3 = Periwinkle

Duergar get to keep their complexion, however: Duergar from Bestiary

In any number of directions to take the Drow, making them Baby Blue is not a direction I anticipated and have difficulty accepting them. I don't think anyone in the history of the existence of Drow, since their mention in 1977, has ever equated them with real life skin-tones or people.

I'm struggling to be open-minded about it, but in comparison with something like this?
Demonic Looking Drow - SFW

Ignoring the fact that said art has fiendish features (just horns really, the colored schlera are quite fitting).

As a fan of Drow, I can only advocate for at least having variety that allows for Drow to be of multitudinous shades as the baby blue representation has already had its first impression in the Bestiary.

I hope I'm not alone, but should any agree I would at least hope for civil discourse rather than spewing mindless vitriol.

Hello,

In a recent order I received the exterior was quite heavily damaged, and the books inside have creasing and tears. See pictures below.

Could I get replacement copies? Let me know if further information is required.

Hello,

I notice on the product page for Wrath of the Righteous City of Locusts that it is listed as being Out of Print. Is this a status that will change or is it indefinite?

Thanks.

When moving from Difficult Terrain into a Normal square, is your movement still considered hampered?

Difficult terrain, obstacles, and poor visibility can hamper movement (see Table: Hampered Movement for details). When movement is hampered, each square moved into usually counts as two squares, effectively reducing the distance that a character can cover in a move.

The rules do state "each square moved into usually counts as two squares..." but it also says "When movement is hampered," This can be interpreted both ways. When you're in a square that is difficult terrain, your movement could be considered hampered, or you could interpret it as strictly according to the square you're moving into.

Which is it?

Hello,

One of the books I received had warped pages (The Starfinder Adventure Path Book 2 of 6 of the Dead Suns AP).

Is there anything that can be done?

Thanks.

Got into an argument with my friends who thought that because the rules don't say possession of a magic item is necessary for activation, that it's possible to do so.

Can someone point to me where it might say, affirmatively, that you require or do not require possession of a magic item for activation purposes?

My explanation that it's implied is not satisfactory to them.
