It is often comming by a small increment here, an other there and so on.2) When was your palette ever was constrained with fixed ASI? Never was it constrained but what your own vision of the game told you. A halfling barbarian is quite fine even if that halfling is based on strength.  We had one, and it was a terror. We have a dwarven (mountain) wizard of the divination school and she is not weak at all. Yet she did not started with that sweet sixteen yo so claim is necessary to play. She is no way restricted,  still does not have a wand of the war mage and yet, she is contributing quite a lot to the group. In our second group we have an elf ranger using two long swords. Yep an elf based on strength and that ranger does not feel weak at all and he still does not have an 18 strength at level 8 because he chose medium armor master to raise his dexterity to 16. 16 on strength, dexterity and constitution. Not a bad character. Fixed ASI forces you to think a bit harder,  yes, but it is also rewarding when you effectively become a good character because you have to beat the odds. With floating ASI, your just another bloke...</blockquote>
