[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 8530844, member: 7635"] "Versimulitude is bad. It gets in the way of fantasy and forces things to be like they are in real world." Agreed. Like how a race was created by hyenas mutating after eating demon ichor turned into a bunch of feral beast-men fueled but hunger, rage, and hatred? "No. Not like that. I was thinking more about how physics doesn't apply to halflings." ... I mean, to a certain degree that versimulitude is a cudgel wielded to badwrongfun people and shoot down ideas, but I find it deeply ironic that people can claim "it's fantasy" when it applies to a halfling's strength score, but demand realism when dealing with cosmic forces of good and evil or interventionist malevolent deities creating creatures in thier image. Now feel free to continue arguing about disassociated mechanics and how that applies to halfling strength scores (for what that's worth, I made my peace with it back in Tasha's) but I wanted to point out the irony of defending some things with "it's fantasy, it's not real" but then arguing "this isn't fantasy, it represents real world ideas" with others.
