[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 8067569"] Still trying to distort others' arguments, huh? An effect on overall distribution is not the same as "preventing" other race/class combinations. Do you understand the difference? We have [I]repeatedly[/I] stated that it's the overall impact on the game. Do you understand the difference? Noticing a bias in distribution is not the same as telling other people what they must play. Do you understand the difference? [B]You[/B] are the one telling other people what they must play. A floating ASI still lets you play every character you can play now. The only thing it allows is for new character builds that you are under no obligation to play. The only possible reason to object to that is that it would bother you if other people play those builds. Why do you want to dictate this to others? Why do you insist on telling other people what they can and cannot play, when it has zero impact on you? Are your roleplaying abilities so fragile that they depend on racial ASIs? Do you feel personally threatened by the existence of a strong halfling or a smart orc? If this triggers you, why can't you just say "not at my table" and leave the other 13,499,995 players of D&D to make their own choices? Why the pathetic, desperate need for control over other people's characters? It's sad, really. [/QUOTE]
