No one here is more...let down that my Shield Dwarves have been nerfed. With that said, ever since the announcement that the Duergar will be making an appearance, (which only get +2 Con +1 str)
I have wanted to roll them for RP flavor, Hell Im making a battle cleric, which I should be using a Gold dwarf to get the extra Wisdom.
My point after reading many pages and internally running these changes around in my head. Ive come to the conclusion, im still going to get to the end and be the Epic hero or villian, lol will see how the story pans out,
If if were up to me, I would leave all the racial attributes and rules per PHB, but its not in my power and I WILL not let this kill my joy.
I bet I could roll a gnome barbarian with 10 str and 10 con and still end up the hero in the end.
Meh might be painful lol
