[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8118401, member: 6801845"] So do you have reference to a study of who will spend he most money over the next 5-10 years? Or even a survey of people asking about this change? Because I don't. Which, I guess is probably one of the things that bother me. Sometimes it feels like the dev team got a memo with [B]DIVERSITY [/B]stamped on it [I][EDIT: apologies if this sounded like a dog whistle, it's not intended that way, just a poor choice of words][/I] in big bold letters and they're just following the corporate dictate sent down from people who do not understand how D&D works to address something that may or may not be an issue. Of course, just like your nonexistent study, I have no clue. Maybe there's a big groundswell of people who hate that different species of humanoids have different strengths (and seriously, pretty much all non-human races are better than the "standard" human PC) than humans*. Or maybe not. I don't think anyone on this message board has a clue. Until someone finds proof one way or another, all of it is speculation, opinion and preference on all sides. [I]*By the way I do agree with getting rid of ability score penalties unless they bring it back for everyone[/I] [/QUOTE]
