[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8382443, member: 23751"] Okay, but so what. Lack of encouragement does not equate to discouragement. A negative to a stat is discouragement. Such use was a special ability of the class/prestige class. Or else they suffered the penalty as some of my wizards did. No you didn't. You showed that the highest stat is recommended to be in the prime stat for the class. You did not show that the highest number should be placed there. What I showed matched their suggestion. The highest stat(15) was in fact in the prime spot. I've done it and seen others do it. It's not nearly as common, but it does happen and it fits the baseline of the game. You said it wasn't easy for you. I've done it with multiple DMs and it is easy for me. 🤷 Clerics are in type for ALL dwarves. And you're going to need to show hard evidence that most games don't have mountain dwarves, because outside of Athas I haven't seen one. Any alien coming to earth is going to match human biology. Got it. There can't be any differences because you said so. Good thing nobody has been arguing that. They have said that it's only a matter of time until Tasha's becomes the default for D&D, but nobody has said it's a matter of time until the game is ruined and/or the apocalypse will come. [/QUOTE]
