[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8390059, member: 23751"] See this I agree with and is one of the reasons why 1) I think floating ASIs should remain as an optional rule, and 2) any group needs to be aware of those within it for possible accommodations that need to be made. Should there be a need to get rid of racial ASIs for a specific gaming group, the group can and should decide to get rid of them. I've yet to be in a single group in my RPG lifetime(since 1983) where this has been the case(including minorities of all sorts), though, so it can't be something that is common enough to require an absolute change to the system. An optional rule to be used is sufficient, and I say that as a member of a minority group who has experienced racism many times. I agree, and if I had a rape or sexual assault victim of any kind in my group, that sort of description wouldn't be used or allowed in the game. Those sorts of things are better served being handled at the group level, though, not the game level. They are very specific and general rules don't handle specific circumstances well. [/QUOTE]
