But it could also be until 2040 or 2060. They want 5e to be evergreen, they may not release a 6e soon.And if they do, they may give you quick builds for those races. Neither of us can tell that right now.And by doing that, you are cutting out a concept specifically included within the write up, telling me that the psychic vampire option specifically included in the options isn't supported.You prefer restrictions, and you can have that preference, but you are also taking the most interesting concept for me and telling me "Nah, that isn't worth playing"Which is exactly what they did in this. They presented a wide variety of potential versions, under a single name, and gave it floating ASIs.So, they have done what you suggested.For the entire rest of the life of the Fifth Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, your system exists.If you want to take issue with the potential design of 6e, then that is an entirely different proposal. 6e isn't being designed right now. Sure, maybe this decision will inform their design of 6e. Maybe it will be so well received that when 6e is released, they won't give recommended archetype builds for elves and dwarves. Or maybe it won't. Maybe 6e will have both systems.But, again, that is based off of no evidence. This is design for 5e, not 6e. If you want to protest the design of 6e, then go ahead and tell them they are designing it wrong, but that doesn't apply to this.</blockquote>
