[QUOTE="MikalC, post: 8088647, member: 7024209"] hint: when someone creates a half assed rule variant to at best superficially create inclusivity while not actually doing so, that’s pandering. yeah cause god forbid that someone be forced to not start with a 17-20 starting out no matter what race or class they want. 🙄. Maybe if the player hadn’t closed their mind to you know, actually having to make a meaningful choice or potentially take a drawback to play a concept, it wouldn’t be an issue. Pander, noun: someone who caters to or exploits the weaknesses of others. nothing in there about assuming that someone’s choice is lesser, only that the group pandering is catering or exploiting something that someone wants. Sorry, before you make assumptions about what words mean you should... actually know what words mean? Just sayin. having to make meaningful choices which sometimes includes drawbacks isn’t unbalanced. Pandering so every race can do anything at any time with little to no differences is boring as naughty word, and trying to tack that into a system MEANT to have players make meaningful choices which sometimes includes drawbacks is. but from what you’ve been posting I’m not surprised you’re missing that. don’t feel like you have to respond to me. If your quality of answer is going to be as factually correct as this I’m not really going to spend the time to respond and correct you. Sincerely sorry for the harshness of this, but replying on mobile is a pain in this forum (literally, as in it hurts my hands and for some reason it likes to make changes to my formatting and takes more time for me to respond), and I don’t want to spend a bunch of time doing so just to correct mistaken assumptions on your (or others if they post the same) part.
