[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9827384, member: 63508"] And really let's be honest. In 2024 race/species is a minor aspect of your characters. From the player side and the DM side race and species barely does anything. You don't even get ability to score increases anymore. Everybody gets a level 1 feet. It's really all humans with rubber hats now. Culture is not tied to races or species anymore. So really species and race limitations is really minor and extreme disagreement over that in 2024 is borderline ridiculous outside of the few races and species who have truly unique traits. It's [B]class restriction[/B]. Class and class features have an extreme impact when a players gameplay and the DMs gameplay. Simple classes versus complex classes. Easy classes versus hard classes. Warrior classes versus skill classes versus spellcasting classes. Arcane classes versus Divine classes versus Primal classes versus Psionic classes versus something else kind of magic classes. Everybody's tiptoeing over what really matters. Because for all of the saminess complaints people had about 4E 5e especially in 2024 has most of the classes that are in the same grouping contained many of the same abilities and features. All the warriors use the same weapons. All the spell classes use most of the same spells. And what individual aspects any class really has compared to another class can be easily tweaked via a wording change or a magic item that you give somebody free. So really all of this discussion is whether or not if somebody wants to play a specific spellcaster and it's banned, is there another spellcaster of that type available after the banning? There's literally another thread comparing the wizard and sorcerer and showing that there's barely any difference. So what it comes down to is if somebody bans the wizard....The question is: "Should they offered a sorcerer?" [/QUOTE]
