I think this is part of the problem. Creatures like Orcs are assigned traits that are considered “evil” by the makers of the game, but is it really that bad to be treated with extreme prejudice? It reminds me of the show The Good Place where at least half of the things that could get you sent...

Someone pointed out that in real life, people often worshipped destructive and evil gods because they believed they could stave off the gods’ wrath if they do. That would be one reason why in Golarion, they named a month after Rovagug, the most dangerous of gods.

It needs to accurately reflect the myth that it's based off of. That's the most important part.

It seems like the point is to get high enough attributes that die rolls don't actually matter.

I've found that players bas a whole hate luck. That's why the don't even want an inkling that they're going to lose.

It's only really prescriptive in a game perspective (as well as outsiders). In universe, they have about as much choice as real life people do.

I’ll need to remember this rule whenever someone argues about skills and ability scores.

But it’s always been “fill-in-the-blank”. Alignment has always just been a description of how people act. Not their allegiances.

It feels funny how people don’t think of alignment as “descriptive”. It shows how much effort they put into writing a character versus actually playing it.

If you have a +2 from race in your class specialty, then you’re not playing against the type.

That sounds like an excuse which are typically evil.

I feel like that doesn’t fix any of the problems with morality since it just devolves into “perks” all the same.

We could always just make it a narrative based gameplay. That way, no one would ever have to worry about a character being “weak” which seems to be the main issue here.

I actually prefer that they take terms from lore rather than just making stuff up. It’s naturally more symbolic that way. That’s also the problem sadly as it can still end up being disrespectful to one culture.

I mostly dislike lineage and ancestry cause they sound even more pretentious than race which is the thing that WotC and other publishers should logically be trying to avoid.

I honestly prefer it to race and definitely prefer it to something as vague as lineage or ancestry.

Rather than them making up their own word, I’d rather it just be called a “soul jar” or something along those lines.

Actually Ligers are fertile; just not with each other. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/120921-liliger-liger-lion-tiger-big-cats-animals-science

If I’m reading this correctly, you’re saying that certain races should have different maximum scores, but I don’t think that’s a good thing; especially with the format that WotC is going with nowadays. It’s like men vs women. Just because men are typically stronger than women doesn’t mean that...
