Umm, I'm still here.
Yes,
@Maxperson is technically right. It's Tribal "Warrior" that is less intelligent. THAN EVERYONE. But, hey, that's okay. We're allowed to say that tribal peo... err... warriors are less intelligent right? Because, that's not racist at all.
This is really the hill people want to die on?
Seriously, changing Int to 10 would break people's games? See,
@TheSword, I fundamentally disagree with you. One one side you have people who will block any and all changes, without question and without any analysis. No matter what, nothing can ever be changed. On my side of the fence, I want to change about 7 words in the Monster Manual to remove Shaman and replace it with druid and change a couple of stats from 8 to 10.
OMG, Hussar has lost his mind!!! The game will never be the same!!! It will no longer be recognizable!?!?! It's not D&D anymore if Tribal Warriors have the same Int score as everyone else!?!!?!!!
You're right in that these discussions have become tedious and tiresome. And unbelievably frustrating.
If WotC had been smart, they would have quietly made these changes and no one would have even noticed other than the people who are being insulted by the current state of things. Unfortunately now we have to wade through endless pages of crap and hyperbole to make, what is at the end of the day, a couple of minor edits that the same people who are bitching about the changes, wouldn't even notice if we hadn't pointed it out.
