I don't know where else to put this as I saw no way of contacting the moderators of that queue.
I was told that my submission was rejected because: "Homebrew that references real life politics, religion, or world events cannot be approved for public listing".
I just built a subclass based on a type of Islamic warrior. I am not allowed? Because it's based on world events? Because it references religion?
What about the Samurai martial archetype? That's based on world events. Are you going to tell me that the Paladin Oath of Vengeance isn't partly inspired by Jean d'Arc? That an Open Hand Monk is not a reference to Shaolin and that the Shadow Way isn't a ninja? And what about religion? Is there any other way to look at the Path of the Zealot?
There are many references in Dungeons and Dragons. It wears them on its sleeve. Some are general and some are specific but that never stopped anyone before.
First and foremost, every appeal of homebrew rejection must be handled with a private message to a moderator, providing a link to the homebrew in question.
