[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8570521, member: 6877472"] I'll be frank- yes, I want strong races to be stronger than weaker races, agile races to be quicker than non agile races, and so on. But 5e isn't about that. All a race gives you is a leg up towards an eventual goal, thanks to the cap of 20 on ability scores. Already proficiency bonus is more impactful to a character than their ability score modifier by the highest levels of the game, and I can totally see some future edition just doing away with ability score numbers entirely, and just having modifiers. Derived attributes from ability scores are almost nonexistent outside of Strength, with carry capacity and jump distance. I wouldn't be surprised to see carry capacity go away in future editions as well, instead being relegated to optional rules.' The future I am seeing is that all choices will one day be equally valid, but in the least interesting way possible. [/QUOTE]
