[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8089465, member: 6987520"] They already do. Their ability scores are roughly 2-3 points higher on average than the "normal" person--they have already broken the mold. Also, you can put those scores wherever you want, so you are certainly breaking the mold that way as well. We had a dragonborn druid who put his 8 in STR and it was bumped to a 10, which he is happy about since he won't have any penalty when he makes his Athletics-related STR checks. I'd rather the caps for scores be modified by race (the [I]HORROR![/I] :eek: You mean my half-orc wizard can't be as smart as your elf wizard!?! NO! That isn't fair! :cry:) as well as the starting scores because, you know what--each race [I]is[/I] different for me. Or, just float them entirely and say disconnect them from race--because they really aren't part of race if there isn't a reason they are tied to certain scores. Apparently, now the former racial modifiers aren't considered part of the general populace, just for adventurers to promote certain types of adventures. Why bother if you can just move them? Or, just get rid of them. You want a strong elf, put a high score in STR and call it a day. :) Nothing is stopping you. But I'm leaving it at that. This argument has been done so many times it is sickening. We've had numerous threads about it and there is no point rehashing the same arguments over and over. [/QUOTE]
