D&D General How do you like your ASIs?

[Lanefan]

Other.

At char-gen, I prefer a mix of + and - with the rough average being net +0 over what you rolled.

During the campaign I prefer stats to increase slowly and with an element of randomness/unpredictability involved (cf the percentile stat increment system from the 1e Cavalier)

Sunny-side up. I like to live dangerously.

The current system is just crap and doesn't satisfy anyone

Very much this.

No ASI... I feel like racial design has leanned to much on ASIs. The game should find more interesting ways to represent the differences between the races in the game. The last UA had some good examples of that.

I like how 13th Age handles stat bonuses at character creation. Generally your race gives +2 to one of two set stats for that race. Then your class gives you a similar choice of +2 to one of two stats associated with that class. You cannot choose the same stat twice (so no +4 to a single stat). There were some exceptions that broke the rules a bit like humans being able to put their +2 into anything to represent their versatility.

Oh, hell, another one?

And this is what I'm talking about when I say that folks around here speak as if they know the absolute truth, when what they have is personal opinion.

I know I don't speak the absolute truth and it is just my personal opinion. I could have put that in perhaps a more clear way, but outside of factual information, I try to speak of a point of view where my subjectivity is... just a part of the post, and not overstated.

I know I could have added 'in my opinion' to the end of that, but... I don't know. It doesn't really add much.

I'm pretty stupid. I couldn't speak from absolute truth if I tried.

Character creation though. Not ASIs gained from leveling up, that was my point.

Ah, I understand. The poll is just meant to reflect starting creation, not advancement. I'm not opposed to discussion of it during advancement though

I like chargen ASIs coming from some combination of race (or lineage and culture, or whatever), class, and background. So something like: a +1 from three of those sources, and maybe with no limit on stacking those.

Not a fan of negative chargen ASIs, except maybe regarding Strength for Tiny races.
