  • There is no magic item attunement system.
NIce.

Yeah, it's really great. The only thing they could have done to make me happier was implement a half-feat system for more character customization. But no trees grow into heaven.

So, where thing are with racial stats?
There aren't any. All races get +2/+1 to the stats of your choosing. Otherwise, properties are the default listed in the PHB (darkvision, advantage on certain saving throws, racial cantrip, etc)

It's closer to what WOTC have implemented for One D&D so I'm guessing that the request came from them.

To make it easier for people to design a character they like without being gimped mechanically, I would assume.

Make sure to have your sorc learn "enlarge butthole" before chapter 2 so you won't take bleeding damage from big bear dick.

That's unless you play an Elf. Elves are gigantic faggots, so they need a "tighten butthole" spell or the poor bear will feel like tossing a salami into the Mont Blanc Tunnel.

IMO, the same reason Wizards asked them not to use alignments.

There's a lot of streamlining Wizards wants to do and this is the perfect opportunity to get people used to it. They openly wanted to eliminate half-races and probably want the concept of race in general to go away, replaced by cosmetic choices, which is kind of what this change makes them.
