We haven't created a vast number of characters post-Tashas, but thanks to a couple of aborted campaigns, we have created a significant number. And what seems to be happening, with two of the groups I play with at least (and the rest haven't made new PCs yet) is that they're picking the race they want to play, then just changing the stats to fit the class.Previously what I usually saw was:Step 1: Narrow down races to ones with a bonus to primary stat of desired class.Step 2: Find best or most-acceptable of those races, play that.What I see now is:Step 1: Pick race you actually want to play, change stats to what you want them to be for desired class.I'd hoped this would happen, and I'm glad that I'm seeing it happen.</blockquote>
