@KristerPersson but that would take away from rolls and make players not want to give advantage or disadvantage. Maybe making it cost something like, if it was with fear and turned into a hope the gm can make a GM move. But ultimately it's in testing and we will see how they go about it.
When you are talking about something you have just read I found it a little annoying because I had to pause to read what you read, then play to listen to your thoughts. Could you read allowed segments you read so it is easier to follow your train of thought? Other than that, love the video, your quality is going up with each one and I love it.
I hate the mixing ancestries. It is a purely human idea that everything can breed with everything else. If you can't find a species to play, try another game! Really, a halfling and a giant? Explain it to me like I am an idiot. I am not really feeling this update at all.
Come on! Your literally playing a fantasy game the idea is for your imagination to go wild! And from a logical perspective. All creatures are humanoid meaning they are the same species biologically. Meaning a giant and a halfling can mate as they have similar biological parts that function similarly with each other. The idea is to give freedom for players to build the character they want and if they can manipulate it mechanically that's even better. Also a player recently wanted to play a kobold. You know what I told them it's a dragaconic and a halfling ancestry, we literally mixed and matched to get that race to work because they wanted a kobold. Also your argument to go and play other systems, there is some combos where people literally create homebrew for or "third party content" on dnd to get different races to be playable. If there is a way to get the character you want without having to jump through so many hoops that's the way you do it.
To give you a picture ... think of giant woman and halfling male.... the halfling does not have to use parts of him to give pleasure.... one can use the whole halfling ;-)
You must be a pretty lame GM :/ (Not you Dicegoblin! You seem awesome!) We're all here playing fantasy games for exploration, imagination, action, and adventure! If someone wants to express an idea, or culture, or whatever else through their character, they shouls be able to do so: in any way they wish! Besides, even if they aren't the same "species" it's fantasy! We already have might and magic. It isn't bound to the same laws and physics.
@calliopethebonk2863 your right but different people have different preference. And I'm sure they can find a game to cater for thier needs. The beauty of having more choice is something I just love. So having options to mix and match is just soooo cool. I put it as a recommendation in my first feedback form I submitted. Glad they took it into consideration.
