[QUOTE="teitan, post: 8452262, member: 3457"] I think the Tasha sidebar is a well intentioned, poorly implemented idea. It's not particularly well thought out, it brings back some of the metagamey elements of 3.x era. It seems like a band aid put on a paper cut that someone thought was a gushing wound and it's kind of half on, half off, like when part of the sticky part gets stuck to itself but you're frustrated and use the danged thing anyway even though you know you really don't need it. Some of the comments on the future of race and some of the implementations since seem to be half patched versions of P2 concepts of Lineage and Heritage but P2 does it better. It's one of those things that should have been worked on more and saved for the revision as an optional rule when they ironed out the details a little better but the last couple years with the reprinting of races in campaign settings with tweaks to remove ability score penalties (I approve) and subtle changes that could be confusing to new players it has felt like 5e has moved into a 5.1 phase like the orange spine 1e era with the Survival Guides and Unearthed Arcana. That's definitely a run on sentence. I'm kind of frustrated with 5e right now because of reprints and revisions. The new Multiverse book is especially annoying because it makes me feel like I wasted money buying Volo and Mordenkainen. [/QUOTE]
