[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6133459, member: 6668292"] Yep. Sounds like a good deal all around. Optional rules, just as it should be. I agree with this, too, for the most part. Though, personally, I'd be okay with later, more uncommon races being more restricted (or even completely restricted from certain things, like arcane magic). I can get behind the simplicity, but I don't much like the human racials, either. I'd always kinda hoped they'd focus on Intelligence for humans; their big thing seems to be adaptation. Humans are everywhere: in every terrain, in every climate, mixed with every race, etc. In past editions, they've been given free skills and / or feats because they adapt, etc. Why not give them something similar, with an Int bonus to represent that adaptive nature? Obviously, it's been to keep humans as a baseline race, but that seems to be gone with "everything gets +1", so maybe it's more about "we don't want more human Wizards than other classes"? Not sure. At any rate, I'd still rather see that done, but I understand why they want humans simple, and can appreciate that, even if I don't like the current racials. Good post; sent some XP your way (it said "Good post", since nobody can see it). As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
