[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 8148764, member: 6689464"] Before going on, I just need to comment on how odd it felt to like a post by pming.... just to see how no matter how different and diverse we are on our approaches and ideas, eventually we'll agree on something. Not really, I hold that while some PCs are exceptional, not everybody has to be exceptional to be a PC. Not weird at all. I hold that PCs must be expressed through both roleplaying and mechanics. And I think the racial options in Tasha are defective at best. I could see myself allowing them on the occasion, but not as a common occurrence and definitely not as the default. And I hold the opposite view, the less we normalize powergaming, the better. I just got kicked off of a game because the DM couldn't grasp the idea that someone would choose suboptimal combinations of race/class and choose a suboptimal weapon and actually mean it. If we truly normalize powergaming, then many of us won't get to play anymore. Powergaming is fine and dandy, but not as the default.
