See, I was thinking that there were some inherent mechanical and basic biological flaws to the old model with "half" offspring. Pathfinder 1st (edition) had some interesting approaches for tackling heritage. Still a little messy, it didn't try to go at it too hard to the point of making it excruciating for actual game play.

I guess they were mainly trying to change the mechanics while still trying to claim brownie points by slathering the PR-explanation with woke talking points.

Not that I expect their execution to go well, given how things have been run for a while there now.
