[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 8088909, member: 205"] It's not about being in competition with the gnome wizard in your party, it's about being worse than the gnome wizard you [I]could have been playing[/I] instead of the dragonborn. And knowing that nothing you got from being a dragonborn is as useful and potent as that +2 to Int from gnome. Look, if staring at a 14 in someone's main stat at level 1 instead of a 16 doesn't make your brain itch, I simply can't explain it. I can't justify the psychology to you in any rational way, but it's there, and it certainly stopped me from pursuing a lot of cool options I thought of. Likewise, I'm sure having racial adjustments fixed satisfies a group of players on some psychological level I don't understand, judging from a lot of the emotional reaction on the topic. But I hope the fact that a lot of people keep [I]saying [/I]it's a problem impresses on you that there is something to the complaint, even if you don't understand it or feel it's something they should get over. This new rule makes me [I]happier[/I], because I can finally play an elf barbarian or a halfling wizard without feeling diminished by not picking a better race. [/QUOTE]
