Okay... it looks like I don't know yet another piece of D&D lore.

Anyone? :smallsigh:

#1 there is no "Lore" for DnD, DnD settings have lore, but the ruleset itself does not.
#2 What exactly are you talking about here?

The gaming community does have lore.

You should have run a forum search first to see if someone had mentioned it :)

I know I saw it...I'll try to find it for you...it has something do with Unearthed Arcana and unicorns and such.


Edit:

Here:

Quote from Spod:

Uh, no, that's a shot at Unearthed Arcana, the original AD&D sourcebook, written by Gary Gygax. It included rules for cavaliers (who got huge bonuses with lances) and dark elves. Female dark elves were more powerful than male dark elves, and female elf cavaliers could take a unicorn as their mount. Therefore, when UA came out, overnight, the cheesiest build possible became a female dark elf dual-wielding lances from the back of a unicorn. That kind of cheesy min-max powergaming existed LONG before 3rd Edition.
