The One Book 5E Needs (IMHO)

[Mistwell]

Really?

You want another book of races?
After the big steaming dump that was Volo's Guide?

The people writing the rules clearly don't have even the most remote grasp on what makes a race functional or balanced, resulting in massively overpowered ones and one's that are complete crap no matter what class you assign to them and others that are just so completely focused on one singular overpowered gimmick and just ruin all character functionality in an attempt to "balance" that to the point they would be better off being a magic item rather than a character.

Until an apology to everyone who bought that book and a total ground-up revision of all the races in Volo's Guide has been done, nothing good can come from another book of races.

I didn't see his original post. Turns out I had him on ignore. After reading it when you quoted it, I can see why. Generally I don't have a lot of patience for people who are prone to that much hyperbolic anger anyway, but ironically there is a thread going on right now about the best supplement in D&D history, and not only is Volo's still there, it's one of the more popular choices for up votes.
