Now burgers places mandatorily have to serve for everyone ? There are lots of people who don't like D&D. You don't have to please everybody, you know, or to serve everybody. It might be your interest to do so, or the only way to survive in this world, so you might be making some changes, but does it mean that they are good changes for people who liked you before ? There is no guarantee of that, it all depends who you want to cater to.But the most silly thing in that argument is that you know what ? With D&D, you can already have your cake and eat it, either with the options of by designing yourself.And for me, the races in the PH are just those that exist in most D&D settings. Why do you insist that it's more ? D&D is already very generic enough, and incredibly easy to customise.And here it comes, the "blandification wave" is coming, that require all fantasy species to have the same stats, because otherwise it's racist and unfair... sighAnd should all races be able to be arcanists in all universes of the game ? Clearly, you have not read or watched a lot of fantasy. These arbitrary limitations are part of the genre, and what pushes heroes to become heroes, while antagonists fail.Because, apart from powergaming, it's the main reason of the activism of people around Tasha's racial ASIs.Oh yes, because not having a +1 makes playing it so much harder, year, right.... Are you really reading what you write ?ONLY IN TERMS OF THE MIGHTY POWER OF THE +1.It's ONLY harder if you want that +1. Pure, simple, powergaming at its base level.Once more, there was no "harder" in playing all the characters that I listed for you, they were extremely fun functional characters that their players enjoyed very much.But you are absolutely unable to enjoy them because you are lacking the +1, you are afraid of showing that you are not optimising technically, that you are not playing skillfully. Nothing more. Or maybe it's just jealousy of the guy having the +2 when you have only the +2 ?MORE POWAAAAHHHH !Q.E.D.I'm sorry, but what does this have the slightest thing to do with "And here you are, fully unveiled, because who cares about crunch ? Yes, it starts with "powergame" and ends with "owergamer". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":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." ? In both case, there are rules...</blockquote>
