It just feels so inelegant and kludgy to me to layer optional subsystem on top of optional subsystem to try and “fix” fundamental “flaws” with the underlying rules structure. Seems likely to alienate folks who like the underlying structure the way it is, while still failing to satisfy the folks who agree the underlying structure is flawed, and making the whole system significantly more cumbersome in the process.Like, personally I’m glad to see them finally moving to separate biology and culture. That’s been something people have been pushing for, for a very long time. But trying to do it with these bolt-on options is such horribly inelegant design. Even if they don’t want to or can’t make a new edition, at least present a variant lineage-and-culture system that replaces the race system entirely instead of trying to kitbash the existing system into doing something it was never designed to do.</blockquote>
