Message: <blockquote data-quote="RevTurkey" data-source="post: 6165726"><p>On the subject of maths... Race stat mods maths make no sense. Why is this system obsessed with only being additive? We can subtract numbers too you know. Having humans have a flat bonus to every stat is stupid. It means that only a +2 bonus makes you better than an average human. A zero bonus makes you worse than a human. As the other races mostly have two +1s this means they are only equal to humans in two areas and weaker in every other. That's nuts and makes humans the master race. If you only have additive mechanics then you cannot accurately reflect that some races are weaker than humans in areas and better in others. I assume that humans are the reference at zero as in previous editions. This was brought to my attention watching a youtube vid by Anders Wood (Woodwwad) and although it doesn't make me want to abandon all hope as he seems to suggest (still lots to lovein the Playtest) it does give me cause for concern that they haven't sorted what for me is a massive deal. If WoTC don't think this sort of thing warrants attention then maybe the game will contain many more issues of similar nature. Again...it's nuts <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
