Some recent Owlfolk art from Wizards of the Coast:

Shouted my "Keep going with flight + heavy armor because owls big" back into the void because owls are still heavy lifters. Light fliers I can see having the problem, but not, y'know, stuff that regularly carries prey

But yeah, I think everyone's fairly unified on the rabbitfolk jump being not too good

My nemesis, I see.

Thanks. Reiterated that ASI should have a default per lineage, and that Flight + Heavy Armour seems dumb.

Shouting into the void, I know, but it is what it is.

I forgot to note that there should be a suggested ASI with each lineage. I'll remind my IRL friends who agree lol

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I strongly suspect Question 4, How important is your choice of race option during character creation to you? , is a very important question for the future direction of the game.

probably for the best.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I put "Very Important" there. There's a huge difference for me when I roleplay a Kobold Artificer and a Dwarf Artificer.

Same here. Races determine a lot of my characters' worldviews.

That it's even a question is a wild disconnect from how I look at the game, and makes me more confident I want nothing to do with the direction they are taking it.

Same, but I hope that was what they were asking.

Because while I'll play them differently, it isn't that the mechanics are super important
