Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 8190619" data-attributes="member: 6801228">This does not go against anything we were sold. We were sold that some races have floating ASIs, they have since the beginning. We were sold that Tasha's would be optional for the currently existing races. It is. You can not like that future lineages are designed to have floating ASIs, that's fine, but as has been said, there was really no other way to design these particular options. They are too broad to be given static ASIs. This design is new, and you can not like new things, but that is all. And, you really can't sit here and tell us that this US breaks your internal logic. The lineages are not halflings. Do a command+F search of the entire document, you won't find Halfling, human, elf, dwarf, Goliath except for this single line "At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of one of the game’s fantastical races." That is it. So, every discussion of "but halflings are now stronger than goliaths" has nothing to do with this UA. This UA doesn't care if you are a firbolg, a minotaur, a flumph, a human or a sentient sandwich. So, your internal logic can not be effected by a Dhampir having floating scores, unless you chose to make them small, and even then much like creatures like the Korred, being small alone doesn't make you weak. This is the thing that is frustrating me. People are arguing against Tasha's, not against this UA. Or they are assuming that going forward they are going to re-release gnomes and halflings, instead of new things. Or they are arguing that now 6e, something not being released or designed, is now ruined for them.</blockquote>
