[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8387068, member: 7032025"] And again, no evidence... Please, where is the strawman, exactly ? You were the one claiming the use of the word "immoral" (which is clearly you strawmanning me, by the way), this is a simple truth, verifiable easily by reading [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/ability-score-increases-ive-changed-my-mind.681930/post-8387027']this post[/URL].
