All the variant class features of Tashas are in play.I'm still undecided on the Race rules variant (stat and proficiency swapping). I'm leaning towards if you want to play a variant or non-specific race (an Int based Dwarf, or a Str based Elf), simply select the Custom lineage race and build it using those rules. It removes the temptation for players to try and cheese it with 5 tool proficiencies, or a constant stream of Dwarven Wizards.I'm tempted to replace the Archery styles +2 to hit, and replace it with a free 'opening volley' shot - a single attack with a ranged weapon you are wielding as a reaction to an enemy you can see starting its turn before your first turn of a combat encounter.Gives the style a real AD&D vibe where specialised Fighters and Rangers could lob off a shot at initiative before closing to melee.</blockquote>
