[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9412081, member: 6801228"] Sigh, so, let us look at the evidence. [I][U]Humans in 2014 --> Humans in 2024[/U][/I]: No increase in magic [I][U]Elves in 2014 --> Elves in 2024[/U][/I]: No real increase in magic, unless you want to argue that hiding in a light drizzle of rain was non-magical and therefore wood elves got more magic specifically. [I][U]Halflings in 2014 --> Halflings in 2024[/U][/I]: No increase in magic [I][U]Tieflings in 2014 --> Tieflings in 2024[/U][/I]: No increase in magic [I][U]Aasimar in 2014 --> Aasimar in 2024[/U][/I]: No increase in magic [I][U]Orcs in various --> Orcs in 2024[/U][/I]: No increase in magic [I][U]Dragonborn[/U][/I]: Okay, this is a little tricky. Technically they got more magical in 2021, but from that to 2024 is no increase in magic. So... I guess we decry their increase in magic for dragon people three years ago as part of their announcement of dragon people now? [I][U]Dwarves in 2104 --> Dwarves in 2024[/U][/I]: I'd give this a toss-up at worst. You CAN say that their ability to sense vibrations through stone is innately magical. You can also say it isn't. And before you start trying to say that as a limited resource it MUST be magical, battle master maneuvers. [I][U]Gnomes in 2014 --> Gnomes in 2024[/U][/I]: I guess you could argue that Rock Gnomes got more magical? But all the other gnomes were magical already. So this is at worst the same as the wood elf [I][U]Goliaths in 2015 --> Goliaths in 2024[/U][/I]: I guess you have a point here, since they can now grow a size category. So, back to your claim that [B][I]EVERY SINGLE[/I][/B] Species is now more innately magical than it was in 2017.... completely false. 60% of them have no change, out of those that DID change they are mostly two ancestries in otherwise overtly magical species. The only thing is that Goliath can grow Large and have some new supernatural abilities... and that isn't [B][U]every single species[/U][/B]. [/QUOTE]
