[QUOTE="Older Beholder, post: 8459174, member: 6813585"] Another reason I prefer to use Floating over racial, is that there are ways in which I find racial ASi's don't make sense (for me). At it's most basic, why can someone have a +2 Str, +1 Con, but not a +2 Con, +1 Str? Another example: at the moment I'm playing a Githyanki barbarian, and I'm enjoying the psionic aspects of the character. I was thinking next character I might explore this further and maybe play a Githzerai abberant mind sorcerer if it fits the campaign. The class being based on Cha, means that any race with a Cha bonus would make a better psion (in theory) than a race with inherent psionic abilities. So add world building as another use for floating ASI's --- Side note: Often combos that make sense thematically end up having a bit of cross over in abilities so that they end up less effective, For example: An underwater race like a Triton or Water Genasi that takes The Fathomless as a warlock patron gets water breathing which they already have anyway.
