Possibly the most ignored sentence in the PHB, even by Wotc themselves:

Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red.

Purple is a shade of red, trust me I'm a colorist

I can do you a few of the most ignored pages in the PHB: I've yet to meet a table that uses Trinkets

[–] termus@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had a Tortle Kensei Monk (Ninja Turtle) that had 77 on the trinket table. "A gemstone that looks like a lump of coal when examined by anyone but you." In one of dungeons we were in, I lost it trying to bribe our way out after the BBEG captured us. I was bummed about it ever since, it was my prized possession. Later on in the campaign I came across a genie who asked us to run off or kill the Aboleth that had taken over his home. In return he would grant us a wish. I've never come across a genie ever in my 25 years of playing DND. The group was reluctant to fight it, so I lied and told them we would all get wishes. We defeated the Aboleth and go to ask for wishes. I ask him if we can all have wishes and he shuts that down fast. Before the group can come to a consensus about what to wish for, I blurted out that I wish for my trinket back. Poof, it appeared and now I'm one happy tortle. My companions, not so much.

...i love you; this is why i play RPGs...

Our group likes to roll on that table and then never bring up their trinkets in game. Such a missed opportunity

It counts if you consider every color with some amount of red in it a shade of red

Example: #dcd2f0 (my tiefling's skin color)
