This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: deadDMwalking on August 09, 2024, 02:41:21 PMWe got rid of racial penalties a long time ago.  Mathematically it's pretty easy to make everything a bonus. 

OD&D and the B line of D&D did not have any race stat bonuses or penalties.

In the case of the basic/expert rules that was because it had race-as-class.

Yes, but they still didnt have any race stat bonuses because the B line was following more the OD&D rules.

That carried over to BECMI and RC.
