I'm wondering if he ever would have imagined Bullroarer Took as strong as the strongest part-ogre person* or whatever (not just as... -

One of the problems with bioessentialism in the game is that it draws attention to how poorly defined the attributes are. Your species...

No, it's not. There are absolutely some ideas that can't be executed under a given framework of rules, and other ideas that can be...

53 years to reproduction is very expensive and an aggressive faster breeding neighbour could attrit an elven community into oblivion in...

When elves, dwarves and humans were described as races, I could understand the reasoning. But if they are defined as species, they can...

No, @Alzrius is exactly right. The point of rules is to apply constraints within which a problem must be solved. That's what games are.

Doesn't that argue for creative race abilities (of which Lucky is actually a good example) instead of just +1 to your class's most...

Love.
I dont know if I agree with that and in fact think the opposite is true. I think having halfling barbarian be as strong as a goliath... -
