So, if they are luck or skill or whatever else, then constitution probably covers that. But, as much as I'd love to argue with you about how my hill dwarf Dragon Sorcerer is luckier than a halfling, it seems that would be a tangent compared to the other points.So, it is fine for them to have learned skills. It is fine for those learned skills to mean that they are graceful and dexterous. But even if it turns out that only certain races are capable of learning how to be that graceful and dexterous, then it is nonsense because only a static +1 dexterity can mean you are graceful and dexterous, nothing else. Well, you are just flat wrong. If nothing ever can mean graceful except a +1 dex, then you seemingly have such a narrow view that it is literally impossible and pointless to try and find any solution, because the only thing you will ever accept is what is behind us.I've noticed. You simply refuse to allow anything to be meaningful except static +1 ASI's .Do you not understand what "average" means? Or "population distribution"?Really? Eugenics is basically just selective breeding for humans for certain traits, combined with believing in superior genes. You said your elf PC knows that elves are more dexterous than humans. Which is false. And that this fact is important to them. The average elf is typically more dexterous than the average human, by a margin of +1 Dex. Does this mean it is true to say that "elves are more dexterous than humans". No. Not only does that statement seem as though it is absolutist in a way that makes it false when speaking about a statistical average over an entire population, but it also ignores that in a tiny span of a few years, those humans could easily learn to be equally or superiorly dexterous to elves. And, ignoring that, to make it an important facet of your beliefs that elves are genetically more graceful than humans, across the board, well... that dances "gracefully" on razor's edge over that particular abyss.</blockquote>
