One cannot mix races with classes, just like in a real life. For example, you cannot be Asian in its of being being a Magic User or any class for that matter. Even the B/X/M rules did not do that. Instead what they did at the early stages of the game in the 70s and 80swas make it so demi-hmams could only be certain classes, as for instance, Elves were only F/MUs, Dwarves as Fighters, etc. Even in the early 80s when I started playing the game did not understand why they went that route, but I think Gary Gygax were still trying to figure out what direction to go at the early development with character classes. And they were pushing releases based off of deadlines to meet to get the game going. This is why i lke the rules given in he PH1 and UA much more than the B/X. For the most part I do not like 2e with their nonsenensical details. 3e and 3.5 is something I need to take a look at. 4r and 5e, in my opinion, is ridiculous with there unrealistic anything goes mentality.</p></blockquote><p></p>
