You called it a "blatant oversight." I called it a "deliberately skewed game mechanic." This was not a reference to it being discriminatory or not.Maybe you should reference things in context. Let's take a look at what I said about it being a "deliberately skewed game mechanic," shall we?"It's not a blatant oversight. It's a deliberating skewed game mechanic. Just like True Necromancer is skewed towards Necromancy spells."Nothing in there about it not being discriminatory. In fact, the only thing this states is that it wasn't an oversight, but an intentional design choice. But I did make a comment about it being discriminatory... let's take a look at that comment as well."As for it being discrimination against classes... ummm... what? Gearing racial classes towards the race's favored class is about as discriminating as the race having a favored class."So... I said it was about as discriminating as favored class... which makes perfect sense.No, they have "Favored Class: Any," which means they are supposed to be just as good at being wizards, clerics, bards, druids, rangers, paladins, and sorcerers... even better in some cases. This is because humans are versatile and adaptable. Thus, a human spellcaster would gain some of that versatility with an increased spell progression. A racial class that values "versatility" but shafts you on spellcasting (if you possessed it) wouldn't fit its own concept very well.Maybe you need a definition of the word "oversight."o·ver·sight (n.) - An unintentional omission or mistake. Now... the spellcasting was neither an omission, nor was it a mistake. It was intentionally placed there by the designers, so it was not a "blatant oversight."It was a fix to mesh the racial levels together better with multiclassing and spellcasters.</blockquote>
