[QUOTE="ph0rk, post: 8118434, member: 16266"] Just quoting that for posterity. If this bothers you so much, don't play DnD anymore. Because changes will happen again. However: the PHB "fluff" is placeholder fluff at best. The PHB is not a setting book, and if you don't play AL, every rule is optional. You are free to have whatever racial ability modifiers you like in your own games. You already were. The 5e link between fluff and crunch as far as racial ability modifiers go is thinner than any previous edition. If you like 5e; that's a core part of it. This is merely more of that. But, if you'd instead prefer to see this as some sort of conspiracy to make you think diversity thoughts - just don't play 5e anymore. You probably are not their target market anymore, anyway. If the cap being the same for each race isn't an issue, then floating stat bonuses aren't an issue. To argue otherwise means one doesn't grasp the underlying math of bounded accuracy. [/QUOTE]
