[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8076369, member: 7025282"] We cannot have it both ways. Look at the posts and the initial statement. I would play X but I don’t like the lack of bonus! vs. The identity has nothing to do with bonus! The truth is that the bonus is just a tendency meant to facilitate building the archetype. You can make what you want generally, everyone can get to 20, but some races have a head start. if it takes more time to become str 20 halfling vs half orc and that is not tolerable, I have a hard time believing it’s the other halfling traits that are the most important thing for you. and honestly, that is good with me. If some people are discouraged from playing a super strong halfling, those that stick it out deserve the unique and uncommon reward of playing a super strong halfling. mark my words (as if a game is serious as death): people will flock to silly sh*t like that just to be funny. There is no cost. It will all be picking outrageous combos until There is no outrageous really to be had. for some folks there is an issue with ability mods, sunlight sensitivity, negative race relations. just play a human that looks different and get it over with. I think the old ways of playing could be frustrating but all benefit and no drawback strikes me as...unexciting. It’s easy mode. It’s inoffensive mode. It’s participation trophies... where I am with WOTC is when they talk about optional...everyone can have what they want, surely we do not all want the same thing. [/QUOTE]
