D&D 5E What To Do With Racial ASIs?

[doctorbadwolf]

The rules of argument have not changed. The burden of proof is still on the one making the claim, no matter how much you might wish it to be otherwise. The only one here asking someone to do someone else's work is you.

I’m not your assistant. It is your work, not mine, to find easily available information while on the internet.

Your outdated dogma doesn’t obligate me.

Similarly, your laziness doesn't obligate me. If you refuse to back up your claims with proof, those claims are little more than idle gossip and should be treated as such.

I JUST FIGURED THIS OUT!!

All of this back and forth and repetitive claims is a conspiracy to lock "the-thread-that-will-not-die"!

You all know the mods are watching...

No, that would only be like if we were watching them (no, thank you!).

Wait, which BIG BROTHER did you mean???

“Somewhere in the world there’s this thing you are looking for but I’m not going to tell you where. Find it on your own”.

Vs

“This thing you are looking for is located here”

If you know where something is and refuse To say becaus you want someone else to find it in their own that is being a _______ (full in the blank)

Did Max...Max...really just accuse other posters of spreading idle gossip without backing it up with evidence?

Here's one, picked practically at random:

They've designed their platform to be irrelevant when predicting what percentage of users use feats.

I'd love to see the evidence for that assertion.

EDIT: Or how about the accusation that JC is lying...literally lying...about it?

 

[FrogReaver]

I'd love to see the evidence for that assertion.

I’d love to see your proof that evidence wasn’t already provided.

My suspicion - and I have no data to back this up, but it would fit with my anecdotal experience - is that most groups probably do allow Feats, but most players don’t use them. This is likely due to a wide variety of factors, including level, and the general utility of an ASI over most Feats. I’ve seen enough people who like Feats and want them to be on the table but prefer to hold off on taking any until they get their primary score up to 20, and enough campaigns end before 12th level to believe that even if Feats being allowed was the default, most characters still wouldn’t take any in their careers.

I'd agree with you about groups: IME less than 10% of games are where feats are banned.

I am however a little skeptical about the claim that most players don't use feats. I accept that most characters don't use them, but I do think that most 5e players will have generated a character with feats at some point in the time they have been playing.

20 people locked in a house for 3 months?

Well, yes. Just not the same house.
