[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8452713, member: 6915329"] And again, you fail to actually address the point. Why was it unsatisfying? After all, you claimed that a tiefling paladin was your favorite, which means that you don't care about where the ASI goes; you don't "need" it to be in the best stat. What prompted you to make a tiefling paladin? Was it [I]just [/I]the Charisma penalty? If that's the case, why can't you take a race and class you like and put a 12 or 13 in the prime stat instead of 14 or 15 and stick the +2 in something that isn't necessary for it? If you are against having floating ASIs because it makes everything the same, why were you OK with with the concept of tiefling paladins in the first place? Surely having paladins be available to humans only makes everything less the same, right? I know that [I]I [/I]saw that change (any race can be any class) as a welcome one when I made the switch between 2e and 3e. Did you play 2e? If so, how did you view the change? If you never played 2e, then what do you think of the 2e players who didn't like that idea, that race could play any class? [/QUOTE]
