I think that the language used by the OP comes across as a statement rather than an opinion. Phrasing it in the way they did makes it seem like it was an intentional provocation for reactions for other people to be offended by. In a way, this is the worst form of trolling, baiting for reactions...

Don’t play a character with any stats or distinguishing characteristics as it will offend someone

Wizards of the Coast supplemented their new prequel to the Slave Lords series with a sequel, "The Last Slave Lord", which appeared in Dungeon #215 (June 2013). It's been called A5. "The Last Slave Lord",like A0-A4, had D&D Next conversion notes in the playtest packet. The final issue of Dungeon...

Strength is a weird stat. It‘s used to see how far someone can jump. The top tier of the strongest men in real life make pretty poor long jumpers

The way 5e is going, I think I’ll actually be embarrassed to teach a newbie. It would probably go something like this… Newbie “ Wow, look at this one, a Minotaur, I want to play something big and strong like that”. Me “Erm, well you can be strong but you’ll be just as strong as this one” Newbie...

i believe that the differences between the races is what makes them diverse. This includes both the race‘s special abilities and the PHB stat bonuses. Without these numbers being attached to the races, they are little more than numbers. The diversity of races is far more interesting than the...

There never was a -4 STR for female character. AD&D had caps on maximum STR based on gender and race. I’m certainly not wanting this to degenerate into an argument about gender. The point I’m making is that diversity doesn’t exist in a world without differences. Minotaurs having the same...

Optimising characters can vastly change the power balance between character.s. I’m sure we’ve all seen situations why one player does 6 damage but the next one does 3d8 + 5d6 times two plus 7. I felt guilty playing my half-orc Champion with Great Weapon Fighting and killing the big bad in one...

I did say from my personal experience, there may well be a third group of which you are a member but I’ve not gamed with such a person. Personally, I try and come up with a concept of a character and then try to match that with an option available in the game. Sometimes, I might alternatively...

Just speaking from my personal experience, there are two main groups of players who benefit from putting the +2 wherever they want 1. Power gamers 2. Players who want to make silly characters for the sake of their own amusement I preferred the old version. My group still had lots of players...

For a system that supposedly embraces diversity, 5e actually instead promotes uniformity by eliminating differences between gender, race, size and weight. While that might be equality, it’s not diversity

I was grasping at straws!

I guess it depends on his location

I call a foul

Nooooooooo

I‘m due to run some 1e games in the near future for the first time since the 80’s. We normally play 5e and for the bulk of my group 5e is the first version that they have played. The common complaint from older players is the power creep and less distinct roles of each class. When I’ve...
