[QUOTE="Weiley31, post: 8399466, member: 7017196"] I'm all for the new "Typically" verbage that is now being added. It is a good compromise between the players who aren't fans of Alignment in generally, and for those, like me, who prefer there to be at least some kind of Alignment being mentioned or present. I also wouldn't mind how the Candlekeep book did it by having key NPCs getting an Alignment while everything else was free. But the new "Typically" will do for me. I'm still hoping that Lineages aren't done at this point and they are still happening. Perhaps it's just me but I still would like more options so that way if I wanted to, I can just apply them as a layer mesh over any of the currently available 5E race options OR the Tasha's Custom Races. (Since I still/always felt that Custom Races as a whole was a bit skeletal/barebones. Especially since the new Floating Modifiers, which I'm also for as well despite my old school mind set/no probs with racial modifiers of old, was a better option and more superior as you still got the +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1 compared to Custom's single +1 bonus.) And I'm really hoping WoTC will now actually be a bit braver and start giving us Typing like Undead and Aberrations. I'm willing to deal with the complications they would bring up during play. So far, they have already giving us Monsterous races and Fey, which can be a bit stronger so their explanation of "balance" is somewhat "not good enough" if they are kosher with how Fey is and what it can basically [I]rooster[/I] block and having complications from spells such as Protection from Good and Evil. [I]Although at this rate, I'm fully willing to just jack/kitbash the Reborn's version of Deathless Nature and using that for Undead typed PCs.[/I] [/QUOTE]
