[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 9285296, member: 7023887"] I’ve had player characters die/survive because a difference in one damage. I’ve had monsters survive/die because a single hit missed them (one of them was a Vampire that managed to get away with an unconscious party member, another time the party defeated a fleeing mind flayer just before it’s turn because of a single hit). A simple +2 makes a significant difference over the course of the campaign. And even if this was wrong, you are still wrong for thinking that a minor increase in Dexterity is the sole defining characteristic/most significant of what separates Elves from other races thematically. Tons of races get bonuses to Dexterity. It was one of the most common abilities pre-Tasha’s for a race/subraces to increase. Trance, Fey Ancestry, and their long lifespan is more influential on the culture and personalities of Elves than the +2 to Dexterity. This is true even if you think I’m overstating the mechanical importance of maxing out your ability score. [/QUOTE]
