Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Will Tasha's Cauldron of Everything be included?

Ah, you think this is the buzzword "wokeness", I suppose I wasn't paying close enough attention.

No. This is asinine, and a variant rule isn't going to ruin D&D for the majority.

EDIT: An addition, because I wasn't satisfied leaving it off with me coming off so dismissive. First, an apology. I don't mean to be so rude, but I'll explain what's wrong with this idea.

This is a variant rule, and the DM has full control over their own game. They aren't making the race variant features baseline for 5e, they're providing an easy way to make racial choice modular rather than rigid. If a DM wants to ignore the variant rules altogether, they don't need to even look at it. If they do want to use them, but don't want to wipe racial identity (dwarf constitution) they can limit what their players can change. There's really no grounds to be a doomsayer over this.
