Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 8201499" data-attributes="member: 6801228">Actually, plainly it was. Because both places where it is presented it is presented as Customizing the statblock. The DMG chart is between making custom monsters and adding class levels to Monsters. The MM option is flat out called customizing. The default was just to play the statblock straight. You could even make an argument that none of those statblocks represent humans either. We all assume they do, but they very easily could not.LEt me try this again. And maybe if I do it this way, it will make sense. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pick Race</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pick Class</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Use Quick Build to Pick ASI</li> </ul>The class tells you to put your best in Intelligence followed by Con, there you go, +2 Intelligence, +1 Con. Want to go against the grain? Do something else.This can't trip anyone up. No one is going to suddenly flounder because they have no idea what to do with their ASIs. Heck, did they flounder at level 4 when they got ASIs? Level 8? Level 12? Were they suddenly confused because they'd never had to think about where to increase their scores before? This argument just makes no sense. I'm sorry, I feel for your friends who want their defaults, but this is not even a minor annoyance in the level of decision making it takes. And trying to present it as though they now have this unseen obstacle they are going to stumble over makes no sense.</blockquote>
