That's fair, that would explain why nobody replied to me when I mentioned that. I might be remembering conversations I've seen on other forms where it has been said to be a balance consideration, which has always felt strange to me. In particular, with the now errata'd oddities of Kobold and...

I'm going to chaulk this one up to a major difference in style and preferences. I don't think you're wrong to run that way, I just think you were a bit too strong in saying it "doesn't help in anyway". I certainly thing all challenges shouldn't be based on killing monsters and beating them...

I wouldn't be against that, particularly if it was presented as part of a quick build for a race. I think that if the two rules are to co-exist, however, that ASI absolutely can't be a balance consideration for races besides how many boosts there is (so whether a race has a +1, +1, +1, a +2...

What? Knowing monster stats in particular really helps; knowing to target the weak save on a monster if available immediately makes a HUGE difference to strategy from the start. Ditto for knowing say, that it has high saves but it has lower AC, for spell-casters. I think that information play...

The quote references a scene in Firefly where a person plays with two dinosaurs who initially work together, but then one kills the other. Considering one was a T-Rex and the other a Triceratops, this was bound to happen, so the latter says that quote, "Curse your sudden but inevitable...

I don't see what's strong about Halfing (Stout) as a race. They do get access to the one Halfing feat, and advantage on saving throws against poison and resistance to it are nice... but how important is that overall? Is poison a really big niche that having advantage and resistance to it is a...

Oh. I... forgot that unarmed strikes count as melee weapon attacks... because... why would your arms count as weapons... Plain language strikes again .-. They also have a Swim Speed. They're really good for any campaigns involving regular water or sea travel. I agree with the rest of your...

Personally were I to DM I would only fudge for new players and early in the game. ... And for Wild Magic Sorcerers in level 1 to 4 parties if homebrew isn't being used. That Fireball from Wild Mage Surge WILL happen when everyone is grouped at level 1. I personally would like to ensure that...

It's possible to note the creator of something and their importance to said thing without celebrating them or acknowleding them beyond their initial creation. After all, we are allowed to vote for any reason.

Some races are already like this. Consider the Lizarfolk. Without Floating ASI they have a +2 to Con and a +1 to Wisdom. But they benefit from having high Dex thanks to Natural Armour, but they also benefit from having a high Strength and Constitution to benefit from Bite and Hungry Jaws. They...

I'd argue Paladins should go Strength to at-least open up mutli-classing opportunities later. If you go Dex you can't mutli-class period. What are we determining 'best' for Fighter and Cleric? Fighter seems quite shakey as a lot of powerful weapons are Strength based ones, and not every party...

I'm not sure something like this exists. The best you'll find is getting together a bunch of guides and averaging out the results. I don't have a lot of experience but from reading a bunch of forums for D&D, I certainly haven't come across a tier list for 5e for classes, subclasses, etc. (in...

Pretty damn cool. Makes a cool support character, and you will have some fairly nice ASIs to get stranger and meet the curve later on. I do have an operational question - how did you afford the elephant at level 4?

To be fair, you don't always need multiple d20s, but there's a number of spells anf effects where having a few d4s could be really nice. It's those dread d12s that you need to worry about...

Not to derail too much with a joke but: Technically, the lack of flavour text at all for Tough and it's mechanical effect just giving you more HP does make it the most difficult to be picked purely for story reasons... But I do agree. All can be picked for story reasons, whether they are...

While I do lack practical experience in 5e, the more I read the more I think that either 5e should not have had multiclassing as a rule (until later on) or that Warlocks should have been Intelligence only; would have made Intelligence more desirable, would have kept Warlock theming more...
