Race bonus looks like its going to suck :P

[Morrus]

In their talk about races for DDN they said that races are going to get a +2 to 2 different attributes and a -2 to a third. I hate this idea. We all know this means halflings lose STR. So bye-bye to all the halfing fighters and barbarians. These may not be practical but they are fun to play. all they are doing is telling us what we can and cannot play as far as race/class combos

What talk about races? Have I missed something major?

All they've said so far - to my knowledge, anyway - is that both race and class give a +1 bonus.

im not sure where i read that, i know it was on here but cant find it with the new page

I'm afraid you're mistaken. You can't find it because it's not there; it never was.

If that's all you want out of the game, then play a different character race - one with the bonuses you want. The fluff of being halfling, half orc, half elf, or even half-assed won't matter anyway.

Now I want to play as a half-ass. Half-donkey, half-man. He'll be his own mount!

Which stat would human get the bonus and which one the penalty? Or is human the water flavored ice cream again?

i swear i saw it on here. It wasn't in its own thing about races it was in the attributes part of it.

I'm not saying it is there but i did read something about race attributes. Nothing about what races they will use or anything like that just race attributes it was right in the part talking about how clerics will get a +2 to wisdom. I remember reading it cause someone had done al the math to see how high you could get an attribute if your race and class supported it.

1st. I'm not fond of bonus to 2 abilities and penalty to just one. That should be placed for some powerfull races or races with almost no other racial traits.

Bonus to one ability and penalty to one other(human chooses both)

2nd. no class ability bonus as that will create more cookie cutter builds.

Trust me, it wasn't. I'd remember typing a thing like that.

Unless you stumbled across something that nobody else in the world has, the only references to ability bonuses came from the DDXP seminars (you can read the transcripts on the D&D 5E page) and they refer to +1 from race and +1 from class.
