[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8455724, member: 7032025"] I used only the word because you did in an effort to slander it. And then, like any setting, you are free to do whatever you want. And "thousands" is not "any" either. Then don't use them, who said you had to ? I had an entire setting in which the local where only scaly. The don't us them. And this is a silly argument, floating ASIs do absolutely nothing for racial stereotypes, since the species/races are untouched in all the worlds of D&D. Orcs are still savage with an Int of 7. It's ONLY about power, as demonstrated below. Exactly, but why are you focussing on orcs ? Because you have exactly the same problem with ANY race that does not offer the bonus to Int (and it's actually most of them). So, basically, not only are you are making this political AGAIN by talking ONLY about the orcs, but it just goes to show that you ONLY want to play race/class combination that gives you the maximum BONUS. What is it but powergaming ? Whereas, since the start of 5e, no one at our tables except our few remaining powergamers (easily identified because of that, by the way) has had any trouble playing other combinations because they were cool, whether they were halfling warlocks, dwarven mages or orc bards. And here you are, fully unveiled, because who cares about crunch ? Yes, it starts with "powergame" and ends with "owergamer". :p So, be happy, you can powergame all you want with the options in Tasha, just stop pretending that it's any other concern than this.
