[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8076455, member: 7025282"] I don’t want to speak for others but for me it’s not that I am upset that the game was harder and I am jealous or envious (I play 5e now so had my cake with 1e and am eating another slice)—-it’s that I like what differentiation brings and want some semblance of tough choices and roads less travelled to survive in the game. I think it brings some novelty and challenge as well as the rarity to some race class combinations which make them fun. A halfling barbarian, a half orc Paladin, a high elf cleric are all potentially fun things precisely because they are not so optimal and hence common. They are less vanilla no doubt due to being less optimal. I Recently looked hard at a high elf arcana cleric of Corellon, a firbolg Paladin and a tiefling Eldritch knight...they may be more memorable than another variant human which is my most common choice. it’s hard to have unorthodox when unorthodox is the norm.
