Species ASI's

[MyrddinEmyrs]

Is there a way to ensure that species and races get fixed ability score increases when dropped? Ie Forest gnomes get +1 to their dexterity score & +2 to their intelligence score.

What ruleset are you using?

I assume that you are talking about D&D 5E. If so, then that works completely as expected (assuming you are adding the Gnome race from the Legacy version of the Player's Handbook). See attached picture.

If you are using the 2024 version of the Player's Handbook, then the ASI is tied to your Background, not your Race.

MOD: moved to 5E sub-forum since this is not a bug and I'm assuming it is asking about the 5e ruleset.
