[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8109979, member: 7006"] That elven DEX bonus only gives significant meaning if you look across every single table across the globe. It is meaningless for YOUR own table. You don't need the PHB to give elves a +2 DEX for you to have your own personal table game with agile elves. You can have that [I]regardless[/I] of what the PHB says. Because you control how you distribute the stats of your PCs and monsters. You want all elves in your campaign world to be more agile than others? Then you set a minimum of DEX, you give a bonus to point-buy for elven DEX, you allow for elves to have above 20 in DEX... whatever you want. Your table, your rules. But you don't need the PHB to give you that. And you don't lose it just because Tasha's gets published. All that is going to occur is that [I]other[/I] tables out there will start to have elves who are not more dexterous on average than all the other races... on top of all the table out there who ALREADY do not have elves more dexterous because the individual table has already put in house rules that have taken that +2 DEX bonus away. And you just have to deal with that. You can't try and force all the other tables to follow your designs on this... even if you were somehow able to actually stop the production of Tasha's publication that is making it even easier to do.
