You continue to claim its about us wanting to minmax, and that the races are too "similar" without the racial ASIs. Even though both Chaosmancer and I have repeatedly refuted this thought, you have ignored us and continued to claim that these things are the problems.We have never said you can't create a character just using racial ASIs.What we have said is that players have more freedom to create characters of the type they want.This is either a strawman or you completely misunderstanding our position. Which is it? Because it literally can't be you arguing honestly.You want some examples of race/class combos that don't have 16s (actually 17s) in their "prime" stats? OK, here's a few for you, using the standard stat array of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 and the prime stat not over 16... even though with +2 point buy, stat maximum is 17.Aarakocra Wizard (primary stat: Int), where the player wants to be an enchanter, and is quite personable, healthy, and intelligent, but also physically weak (a "typical" hollow-boned aarakocra), prone to doing dumb stuff, and sometimes klutzy.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Racial ASIs (Dex +2, Wis +1): Str 8, Dex 14, Con 13, Int 15, Wis 11, Cha 14</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Floating ASIs (Con +1, Cha +2): Str 8, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 15, Wis 10, Cha 16</li> </ul>Notice how I didn't touch Intelligence, didn't turn it into a 16 or 17 even though I could, even though it's this character's primary attribute. And yet, I created a character that better suits the idea I had in mind.</blockquote>
