Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jfdlsjfd" data-source="post: 8750493" data-attributes="member: 42856">If this was the case, then the bar about not double-dipping in ASIs by using an old ASI-giving race and a new, ASI-granting background would be useless since it would never happen, as new background would go with new races and old background with old races.  If it is absolutely clear that you can't mix and match, why say that you can do that, but can't double dip ASIs? They should remove that part of the document as it's only misleading.While I agree your proposed design (the new character origin being an alternative, self-contained, character creation method) would be better, especially when it comes to compatibility, it isn't supported by the playtest document as written. We are supposed to mix and match at this point. And if we aren't, then the playtest document is going clearly contrary to their intent, which is worth reporting as a result of the playtest.I also am unconvinced by the explanation about other races not currently in the playtest document as justifying this sidebar. If the intent was to have a self-contained new system, those other races would be created in the old system, not mix-and-matched. A reasonable wording of the side bar would be to try to playtest only the options presented in the playtest, while waiting for other races to be published.Thanks.</blockquote>
