Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 6558469">My usual excuses are:You're younger and your powers are less developed or yes you are a "weaker subrace that has to resort to adventuring to become more powerful"...which is arguably a better tactic than relying on your racial heritage regardless.The first route usually makes the most sense, because arguably the monsters you're fighting in dungeons are not the "young" of the species, but the developed and powerful.  This is for two reasons: 1: the developed and powerful present more of a threat to mundane humanoid civilization and 2: noone really wants to represent you going in and slaughtering the young and innocent, even if they're the monstrous innocent.Well, there ya go.  I don't do things without a reason and I agree I don't like things that are done without a reason.Honestly I find it MORE immersive to diversify a race, some members weaker, some members stronger, older, faster or tougher than others.  I mean, what is there some kind of factory that just pours genetic goo into a mold that makes completely by-the-book, standard monsters?  I mean shoot I think Dragons are really one of the only races where there's a progression from young-to-old in the species.</blockquote>
