Why should I have to play a dexterous elf ex-slave?
You didn't have to did you? You could have made it your dump stat and been much less dextrous than a stereotypical elf, right? Even after the old style ASI.
Why couldn't I have built muscles during my hard labor but never developed that elven grace? because I was being being a slave and couldn't attend mandatory elf dancing lessons
You could have made str one you maxed out in initial character creation right, and been much stronger than an average member of the stereotypically strong races?

But anyway, I don't particularly see the point of requiring them to go with a background either. Why can't my outrageously strong character have decided to be a scholar, instead of developing the strength by doing something physical?
