This isn't even a good example!Like Vulcans being smart?
Vulcans are logical, which is both a boon and a hinderance to their intellect.

Awesome. Now we get to argue over the definition of intelligence.This isn't even a good example!

It was more than logic. They were also smarter than humans were.This isn't even a good example!

Yes, they could have traits that help them resist mental influence.So theoretically, you could give Vulcans in a 5e system a fixed Intelligence ASI boost. But it might be more accurate to instead give them racial features and other traits to instead emphasis their ability control emotions. Perhaps a number of times equal to profiency reaction to give advantage against spells and features targetting Charisma, Wisdom and Intelligence saves, perhaps?
There is a thing that boost skills involving logic. It is called intelligence. Ability scores are supposed to represent things and I am really not a fan of inventing gimmicky rules that represent the same thing the ability scores are supposed to represent.Boosts to skills involving logic, like Arcana?
Being logical is now a hindrance to intellect?This isn't even a good example!

And to add to that, there is actually now an active ASI thread so perhaps we can take further discussion about that topic there?Let me remind everyone of this post. This thread is not about debating racial ASIs or the new design of races/lineages in D&D 5e.
Racial ASIs are part of racial mechanics and are therefore on topic. That you don't want to discuss it is fine. That you would go run and complain to moderators if it doesn't go your way isn't. I didn't cave in to that threat in school when the kids threatened it, I'm not going to accept it from an adult.Let me remind everyone of this post.

Sure. This is the proper way to ask. Not threaten to run to moderation.And to add to that, there is actually now an active ASI thread so perhaps we can take further discussion about that topic there?
