Skimming through the 5e book online now, to describe building your character they use the perspective of a fictional player ‘Bob’ and use he/him for that section, but generally uses non gendered language or “he or she”, as in “Class broadly describes a character’s vocation, what special talents he or she possesses…” I don’t get why ‘they’ isn’t the default in place of ‘he or she’.

At least the male pronouns aren’t directed at the reader and instead at a fictional male character.
