[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7172848, member: 23751"] Well, as I said in my first post in this thread, I don't really care for gender limitations. That's too much reality for me and I wouldn't use it if it were part of 5e. However, racial differences I'm all for. I like that there is stat variation among the races. I want the strongest halfling to be weaker than the strongest half orc. I want the most agile halfling to be more agile than the most agile half orc. In 1e and 2e the min/max for the races made sense. It was hard to get high stats and stat raises were very rare, so the stat bonuses combined with the min/max for races differentiated them. In 3e the maximums were done away with, but since there was no cap on stats the strongest half orc would be stronger than the strongest halfling, all other things being equal. With 5e we have this problem due to lots of stat bonuses, and a very low cap on stats(compared to 4e and 5e). [/QUOTE]
