[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6719985, member: 6787650"] Just FYI, the formatting on your article makes it almost unreadable for me. I'm about to copy-paste it into Notepad just so it doesn't drive me batty while reading it. I'm not sure why. I think it might have something to do with the huge left margin and the fact that the wavy grey border on the left, plus the font, which according to Chrome is "Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans serif." I'm looking forward to reading the content, it's just unfortunate that the presentation is so distracting. [B]Edit:[/B] okay, having read through the article, my main takeaway is that you overvalue dwarves as overpowered at 53 mp, undervalue variant humans as underpowered at 36 mp, and undervalue svirfneblin darkvision as being worth only 4 mp. In practice dwarves are pretty average no matter what your mp guesstimate says, and 120' darkvision, because it's greater than almost everybody else's darkvision, suffices to grant you advantage on attacks against almost everybody at ranges of 61' to 120'. That's easily worth as much as Drow Magic, which you've counted as 12 mp. [/QUOTE]
