[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8379701, member: 7032025"] And here you go, I don't need all the rest of the post to show that it is absolutely all about powergaming. What do you care what a 1st level generic cleric is ? Will there be another cleric in the group ? Probably not. And even if there is one, your wisdom score is not tattooed on the forehead of your tiefling cleric. So it's all about comparing your character to others. In our campaigns, no-one has access to the stats of any other character. There is no comparison, and with a d20 range, there is no way a measly +1 will statistically make a difference over even several evenings of play. Again, I don't care if people powergame at their tables or not, and it's not because they powergame that they don't enjoy other aspects of the game as well. But still that envy, that jealousy, that comparison to standards and other characters is creating tension, in particular about this issue of racial ASIs and all the other troubles that come with the notion of race (as compared to ethnicity).
