Again, the author address those. A lot of other traits are just not ascribable to humans (powerful build is one of those), like a dragonborn's breath for exemple. Those are much more fun. Movement speed is a factor of stride length, thus a factor of size (I, myself, walk very fast because I'm tall and my legs are proportionally long. I can cover in a single step what shorter people need two or even three step to cover).Particularly important, I think, is this part of the second article: Basically, it doesn't actually matter what you intended or that it's all made up, if people of colours are still FEELING it, then it's not good. Their feelings are valid, and to dismiss it as a edge case to be solved by home rules just feels patronizing and colonialist. I don't think racial ASI are worth it if a whole segment of the population can come out of playing the game with a bitter aftertaste. Tradition be damned.</blockquote>
