[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8240934, member: 6855259"] Don't assume a greatsword for a fighter because all races can't use that. You say you want to eliminate race as a variable, yet you assume a weapon not able to be effectively used by all races, and worse a weapon that some races can't even get a feat or multiclass to be able to use. It is great not to want a variable because of race, but that is a poor choice when you choose as your standard one of the most uncommon chosen races. Standard Human is a poor race to use as a basis for comparison as virtually no one plays that race. You should choose variant human, which is the most common race, and a variant human Monk can use a longsword at level 1. Bottom line, either you are allowing racial traits or you are not. You can't have it both ways, and if you allow some of them, you need to allow all of them. Otherwise you are just picking and choosing which ones to allow to strengthen your argument. [/QUOTE]
