The bad thing is that fewer of them will be Mountain Dwarf Fighters, because you feel like that is part of their identity and that seeing more Mountain Dwarf Wizards, Bards, Rogues, Warlocks, ect, means that Mountain Dwarves will lose part of their identity. Maybe this will help you understand my position a bit better. In 6 years of running 5e, with multiple campaigns as a player and a DM, I have never once seen a Mountain Dwarf fighter. In fact, I've rarely seen a dwarf at all, and they were all hill dwarves when I did see them. The Fighters I have seen? Predominantly human. In fact, other than my Half-Orc fighter and another Ravenite Fighter... I can't think of a single non-human fighter off the top of my head. Wait, there was an Elf Arcane Archer. I understand that at your table, in your experience, Mountain Dwarves were almost always fighters. But to me not only has that not been the case, but if I could choose to see fewer of the most common combos at my tables, I'd be ecstatic. I want more dwarves at all, I don't care if they want to be a class other than fighter, I just want some dwarves at my table. I'm hoping this opens the game up, to allow for things I haven't seen multiple times already.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------But what is it about Half Elves that is suddenly making them better at everything? The only argument I can see is that +1 to your third stat. Which is nice, but it is your tertiary stat. Your "rational brain" is on a bit of a hair-trigger if not getting a bonus to your third most important stat is becoming a deal breaker for you.</blockquote>
