People will min-max whatever systems there are, and if there's no mixed system, they'll just min-max off the species/races that there are. Indeed, it's quite likely any mixed system will be inferior to just picking Elf or Orc or something for most classes (the Orc we saw was pretty great, as I recall).Plus, let's be real - D&D races aren't even slightly balanced. It's not like classes. If the most powerful 5E classes/subclass are 10/10, the weakest pairing as 7/10 (maaaaaaaaaybe 6.5 of 10 for absolute double-stinkers, like Four Elements Monk - but those will probably get fixed).Races though, talking about abilities granted, if the very best are 10/10, then worst are like 1/10. There's an absolutely wild gamut. No good baseline for what a species should give you at minimum, and they can't even change that properly for 2024, because MotM continues that grand tradition of "there is very little parity between these". I'm sure the worst PHB races will get improved a little (like Dragonborn moved to the dragon book version), but I'm also sure that, best case, races will range from 4/10 to 10/10, which is still awful.</blockquote>
