[QUOTE="IndigoTraveler, post: 8191244, member: 7029454"] I personally feel like that, since they had no problems with introducing stronger races options with some strong racial features like the Goblin, Yuan-Ti, Satyr/Centaur(because of their singular "Fey" typing), that WoTC has no problems with introducing the idea of an option being a bit more substantially powerful. The idea of a Hexblood Dwarf, even if he decided to trade his dwarven weapon familiarity for Elven Weapon familiarity to feel closer to his Fey heritage, [I]suddenly[/I] forgetting how to use said weapons to be a bit stupid. [I]Okay yeah you could make the argument that Fey stealing/taking memories as barter is a Fey thing to do[/I] Plus, with the Lineage features overwriting the racial features, your pretty much "stuck" with whatever that Lineage is giving you. And if that option ends up being crappy, then your biting yourself in the foot. The whole Dual-Typing thing also seems to be a weird take on trying to incorporate an idea of balance. But if you count as both types, in regards to stuff, then technically your getting [I]double[/I] the weaknesses. Your Satyr Bard is gonna suddenly get turned by your Ancient Paladin, your Dhampir Rogue was hiding nearby and just got turned by the Party cleric. That undead slaying sword that accidently got tossed at your Dhampir Wizard, and scoring a crit hit on em while being low on health, just murdered the poor slob. They should allow Lineage Features+Racial features and Single typing. Do it like Volo's where there is a disclaiming that states [I]Hey some of these Lineage PCs may be a tad bit stronger compared to standard PCs so discuss it over with your DM or party first beforehand. Or Tasha's it up abit by allowing the choice of Lineage Features+Racial Features or just Lineage Features.[/I] [/QUOTE]
