They're a big deal in Pathfinder these days. I tend to feel like, if you assume the races are basically balanced, then they're balanced on the idea that some of the traits just aren't that useful unless you play to the race's strengths in your class choice. Being able to discard any traits you can't use in favor of ones you will seems like a decision that heavily favors system mastery and potentially unbalances certain races (if, again, you assume they were actually balanced to begin with).<br /><br />On the other hand, getting to swap stuff you will never use for stuff you might is fun.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787303412346790687noreply@blogger.com
