Creating the choice between ASIs and Feats was meant as something to keep it so you didn't need to use Feats in your game. It was a bad split and shouldn't have been done.I don't fully agree, but this basically makes my point for me: if the numbers matter that little, then why are we using the numbers to differentiate? Why not let us have the ability to make them better match our concepts (where they will have the most notable effect) and save differences in race to interesting abilities that other races won't have access to?I disagree with this a great deal. ASIs matter, especially in a game where there are very limited options for improvement. Plus, saying that they're just "fluff" and non-essentially is really a great argument as to why we don't need to attach them to race anymore. The only real effect they have is largely pushing people who want to play certain classes towards certain races so that they can get the most out of them. Why not detach them, put them into characterful backgrounds (or even custom ones) while making race something that has a bunch of interesting consequences that supplements your class choice rather than deciding it?I disagree. Those powers have a ton of utility and could be useful both in and out of combat. Each of those spells are useful to have on their own detached from class. Compare this to getting stat boosts that run counter to my class: putting them into dump stats will likely have little effect on my character.</blockquote>
