Message: <blockquote data-quote="ourchair" data-source="post: 5538057" data-attributes="member: 85362">I prefer the original design - a race's nature is expanded by feats - than new stuff that muddles up with the old design, even though I think racial powers make a hell of a lot more design sense.For one thing, the 'feat tax' made sense to me, because it balances the 'extreme' stuff unique to a race against more mundane races. For example, if Thri-Kreen want to be the crazy multi-arm monstrosities they were in 2E, a player has to give up some stuff. The new idea of allowing all characters to define themselves according to powers (i.e. Do I choose a class power, a theme power or a racial power), but I'm only willing to accept that if they redesign all the other races along the same lines, which is something I doubt WotC can do in a timely fashion, as it took them a long while after HotFK and HotFL to add floating modifiers to the other races.I love that WotC is constantly evolving and reconsidering their design ideas in the game, I just dislike how they either significantly affect the economy and value of power and feat choices before and how it can make character building with all the material since 4e launch very very difficult.</blockquote>
