In looking for resources, I came across this nifty module that tries to still provide some narrative center to the scores while decoupling necessary race+class combinations:[URL unfurl="true"]https://gabejamesgames.itch.io/cmm[/URL]It essentially attempts to examine the 3 core ability scores for each class and takes a narrative approach for players to build out their +2/+1 (or potential +1/+1/+1) there instead.It seems like an idea that could still benefit those that want to portray races which lean toward certain classes culturally in the lore without statistically punishing PC off-branding come game time. Of course, it doesn’t account for how to make up for those races that exceed 3 initial ASIs (human, half-elf, etc.) and thus requires some extra work elsewhere. But I also think that’s where more emphasis on racial feat options to build out individual racial quirks can fill in for the losses. I find those aspects more character defining than being one of 10 strong or quick races anyway.Any thoughts? Does this actually “do more” for you than just calling it a free +2/+1 with your racial choice?</blockquote>
