[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8567208, member: 22779"] Because this is D&D and folks would lose their minds if WotC even hinted at this sort of system? But, again, I DON'T want to limit your desire to play a winged halfling. That's the point. Why are you insisting that other people MUST play halflings a specific way? If you want your halfling to be weaker, then simply make a weaker halfling. If I want a stronger (or weaker halfling) why do I need WotC's permission to do so? IOW, play your own character. Stop worrying about how other people play their characters. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from making a 1e traditional halfling in 5e. All you have to do is cap strength at about 14, and never use the dash action. Poof, instant 1e halfling. But, apparently that's not good enough for people. It's not good enough that you can CHOOSE to play that. Apparently the only true answer is to force all players to conform to a specific vision that caters to your preferences, and everyone else can go hang. So, explain to me why I must play a weak halfling if I don't want to. How is it better that I'm forced to conform to your vision of the game? [/QUOTE]
