Oh God dude, you are stepping into a quagmire of social agenda the likes you have ever seen lol. In today's environment, penalizing a character (even in a fantasy game) for racial choices is a big no no. Everyone has to be equal or else the world will explode 8P
Oh I know. I just don’t care. I don’t need to be validated by strangers or need their affirmation.
I am so glad I quit D&D when I did before they made all of these crazy changes to racial bonuses etc. There was a real purpose to choosing your race back then, their backstory and accepting the negative limitations to said race. Nowadays, I just see the new rules as a bland state of meh. Be any race you want, be any class you want with any ability. I mean I know why they did it, to make the game more accepted with the younger generation, but in the end I think it just lost something. Either way, glad they are not going to include them personally.
It was also great to play in the day without die hard min/maxing etc.
Yeah. I don't necessary want to bash anyone how they roleplay but the style has definitely changed. Even character death is rare. Now, it's not like my characters died all the time in the past but there was always a big fear that the next dungeon would be the last. The rules now are so in favor of the player characters, you really have to try to die.
Heh, if LotR was written today, Sam and Frodo would have dropped kicked their way to Mt. Doom. :P
