UK based is essential as I see. No way to remove this?

being penalized by the fact they want something unusual. But if it is unusual there are reasons. In italy we say "drunken wife and full barrel". Something like "have the cake and eat it too". :p

It is not directly correlated but still absolute. Not relative. And in regards to "they both die" I have no interest to exchange messages with people that don't want to understand. See you.

I agree with you but want to add this: it is vile because demonstrably WRONG. I don't like to focus on morality, I like to focus on science and knowledge of nature. Remove reality is never a good way to approach a problem.

Put a brick over an human, then over an ant. Who dies is weaker. STR in DnD is absolute, not relative and directly correlated with muscolar power.

Don't want to open a sub thread in this sense but I find your comment enlightening (no irony). It is more acceptable to remove potentially offensive game mechanics from game when it is done in regard to sexual differences because all we recognize the problem of inclusivity in this regard for we...

There is truth in what you say. I beg your pardon.

I must humbly give you my excuses but my poor english prevent me to understand the real meaning of your message. Maybe because I do not know Bean Dad. I can only say that I like to inform my son about the presence of evil in the world and that the real world is not so easy to understand as a...

My son asked me: pa why orcs are so cruel? My response was: "because in this story (LOTR), orcs are perverted by evil that make them greedy, rabid and ultimately stupid, do you know that once upon a time they were elves?" (eyes and mouth wide open) "In real world things a little more messy...

Don't have time. Excuse me. it is sufficient to scroll the thread. Don't mess with concept ;). I don't think anything. It is a fact that an orc, as depicted, is stronger than an halfling as the rules of physiology are the same in Faerun and in the Real World (and there is no suggestion of the...

And RIPed by a supposed good side one. Significant.:(

Guys, where do Hurin88 come from? 88 is a common nazi symbol in USA. You are not the whole world. In Europe (and we know something of Nazism) the 88 as nazi symbol is recognized by the 0,0001 % of people. Just to inform you. :p

Exactly what I fear. Witch-hunting a go-go. Scientifc concept twisted, ideology in games, words that change meaning. This will end up in being as horrible as racism, if we do not rebalance with some logic and sobriety. It's been 25 years that I consider racism in USA society a very deprecable...

Understood, but this is not necessarily good. You assume that this changes in the wind are good. I say that the optimum would be if the changes focus on distortion and not to push to twist reality. Remember "war is peace", "slavery is freedom"...? I feel myself as somebody who wants logic and...

everywhere c'mon Why explain again? I think It's clear. On one hand there are the "mental attributes" INT, WIS and CHA. Those are controversial in being genetic so ok for me to remove from ASI, cause it could be considered some sort of "nazi" way of looking at things. But at least for "physical...

I believe that you are true when you say that you are tired of seeing the same class/race combination. But removing ASI you risk to throw away the baby with the dirt water. Until the game is based on some assumption, it is inevitable that goliath will be stronger than halfling. And to have more...

No absolutely. But don't try to say that lack of internal coherence is good because is the foundation of every game. Without it there is no game.

Simply because I never find a page in the game in which it is written that to be 3 meters tall and full of muscle means being weak. So I reasonably assume that phisiology works the same way as in the real world. As you said Apes are 16 STR and Commoner are 10 STR, for example. Now put in...

It is extremely clear my friend. Extremely clear. Nobody can find reasonable arguments against this. But unfortunately...

I'm sorry. If you like games where internal coherence in rules is broken you are welcome. The next time we play tennis togheter, I'll first say you that the net is 1 meter high but when it's my turn the net magically go to ground. It's ok for you? Internal coherence is actually funny and a...
