But yeah that's the deal with 'but PCs are special' thing, if a super strong halfling can be a special god-blessed halfling then a winged dwarf can also be a special blessed dwarf. And that's perfectly fine logic, it is just weird that people are willing to apply this 'specialness' to one area and want it to be baked in the default rules and still consider same logic applied to another area ridiculous. But ultimately if PCs are special and need not to conform limitations of their species and rules are only for creating PCs, then it is obviously pointless to have splat based lineages at all. Just have a list of traits and features people can choose from and then justify it how they see fit. Of course it has a lot to do with ASIs, as those are just one type of racial trait and to which all these same considerations apply.</blockquote>
