They have:Con +2 / Str +1Str +2/ Dex +1Dex +2 / Cha +1Wis +2 / Dex +1 None of them share the same value of a score. The closest you can get is that three of them have some sort of dexterity mod, but two of those are +1's and one is a +2Looking at the Kreen example, some of them are massive beasts made for war (+2 Con, +1 Str) some are highly intelligent spellcasters and diplomats (+2 Int, +1 Cha), some are our traditional scouts and warriors (+2 Dex, +1 Wis). With this as the case... what static ASI could we give them all? What single score defines them above anything else? I can't think of one. So, how would it be bad to give them floating scores? Sure, it could allow for edge cases, a +2 Con, +1 Cha version that doesn't quite fit into any of the categories. but making one version of them static is also a bad route that does the same thing, forcing concepts that don't have that trait to have it. We already have elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, minotaurs, goliaths, ect. Those races aren't being printed and designed again, they already exist. So, what in the future do we have that is going to be so terrible to have floating ASIs for? That would not end up needing multiple subraces or concepts left on the cutting room floor?</blockquote>
