[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8399583, member: 7023887"] I can understand not wanting Alignment removed, but it's been added back for the Monsters. Do you not think that's enough? I personally prefer absolutely no alignment suggestions for base racial mechanics, because those will differ largely between world. I could have a world that has vicious, human-eating Fairies that are almost always Chaotic Evil and Harengon that are True Neutral because they don't like getting involved in anything that could get them killed. That would be different in any other world, and thus is why I don't like alignment in racial mechanics. Suggest it for specific settings, don't put it in the Racial Stats. I can understand the ASI thing. You've explained your position on that before, so I won't press it, even though I don't think that's reason enough to not buy a book, in my opinion. (If it still did exist, I would give Fairies a +2 to Charisma and a +1 to Dexterity, while Harengon would get a +2 to Dexterity and a +1 to Wisdom.) What do you mean by "removal of . . . size definition", because that's been a thing since Volo's Guide to Monsters made Firbolg and Goliaths be Medium. If you mean by Fairies not being Tiny all the time, I can understand that, I just disagree that it's anything new or that big of a deal. However, your opinion is valid and I'm not going to tell you to buy the book if you don't want to buy it. I'm just trying to understand why, and say that boycotting a whole book because of a minute detail like races not having racial ASIs is a bit . . . petty in my opinion. You know that I would prefer a different system, too (with race, background, and class all influencing your starting ASIs), but I'm not refusing to buy any books because of that issue. You do you, though. [/QUOTE]
