[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8381667, member: 7032025"] Because it's never only about the stat only, it's about the combination of race (and its racial powers), class and stats. And again, I need no more proof that all the guides out there who explain to you how certain combinations are technically more powerful than others, all colour coded and who explain that some combination were powerful when there were Racial ASIs, but how new ones have become even more powerful if the optional Floating ASIs are allowed. And because there are now even more combinations, it's even harder for casual players to have a look at everything (assuming that they want to) it will widen the power gap even more between casual players and powergamers, something that we don't want at our tables. I have given many examples of the negative effects of the power gap, and there is absolutely zero reason to increase that power gap (and again, the guides clearly demonstrate that the potential power gap has increased if you allow Floating ASIs).
