So, you'll have tough dwarves and agile elves and halflings, and explicit rules in the PHB to make those into agile dwarves if you want, and also have better rules than are in Tasha's for making a completely new race package. Oh, and it will all be called Lineage or Folk or Ancestry or something like that. TBH, I can't see any downside.Source, by any chance? My read of what data we have from DDB and WoTC runs counter to your claim. People make more stock Human Champion fighters (including when one looks only at users of DDB who have the PHB unlocked) than any other Human or Fighter, and IIRC more of that combo than any other specific combo overall. That by itself suggests the opposite of what you claim, here. In fact, many of the most popular subclasses (and again, [USER=6871835]@BadEye[/USER] confirmed in a thread and on twitter IIRC that these rankings don't change when you just look at users who have paid content unlocked) are very much not the most powerful subclasses, but are instead iconic from a story perspective.IME, when change leaves me behind, I eventually find that I was wrong and the change was right, and while I never feel embarrassed by the things I've grown out of over the years, I certainly sometimes wish I'd gotten over my resistance to change a little more quickly.And I've seen several halfling barbarians, and at least 20 halfling PCs just while playing 5e. They were just as popular in 4e, and combined with an even wider range of classes. Earlier editions they were much more confined to rogues and sometimes heavily dex based rangers or monks.</blockquote>
