[QUOTE="Markh3rd, post: 8090545, member: 6782417"] Pre changes I didn't see half elf monks or rangers at all. They didn't need +2 CHA. Only paladins or other classes that used CHA. Not to say it didn't exist. You saw lots of humans and wood elves though. What I think will change now is instead of picking a class and then finding a race with stats that compliments it, it becomes picking a class then pairing it with racial benefits that are powerful. If racial benefits are even between 2 choices, then the one with greater stat points to use becomes more desirable. Thus power gaming just became easier to do. The 5E system wasn't designed around this kind of idea. It should have been play tested first to allow people to hash out what worked for the health of the system first. But now that it's in an official book the time to have safely tested whether these changes would create problems down the road is gone. I think whenever 6E comes out it will be built from the ground up with changes like this and be more balanced. P.S. Unless the curse of even numbered editions is true.......... [/QUOTE]
