[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 6258080, member: 6688277"] I prefer the difference in racial speeds, I want racial penalties/maximums...all of that which makes races distinct with a little 'nod to realism' as Delericho mentioned. Selecting ones race should be quite an important decision, I guess many of us disagree with the amount of differences that should exist. There was a comment made by Morrus a while back where he wanted the differences between races to be large not piddly +1 or -1, but that orcs could have something like a +4 in strength. I guess that resonates with what I desire for races: In that selecting ones race should matter. But then again I do also do not mind if some races are more predisposed to being better wizards, fighters or whatever than others (at least initially). I know this could bring min/maxing back, which is quite the problem across the board but that is where the penalties of the races and the other balancing factors of the races kick in. If an Orc is going to receive a +4 to strength, chances are he is going to be penalised elsewhere for such a huge bonus and PCs can and should exploit that other weakness to defeat him. Maybe I'm just too much of a vanilla fan :) If they do alter it, I hope they include the modular option for keeping it at 25 ft. with all the other "nods to realism" not that my group can't just house-rule it, but its nice for it to be there staring at us in print.
