I hate to post again in such a short time, but I can't make up my mind here... I'm making a barbarian TWF build focused on crits, and I can't decide on what to take as the race.
My top two picks as of now, are Halfling and Half-Orc and here are the pros and cons as to why I'm struggling with my decision.
[Stout Halfling]
PRO's
-Decent Stat placement, dex will help with +1 to AC and +1 Con is also nice.
-Lucky is VERY nice, it's like having a free extended crit range. On 1's you can reroll, rerolls = possible crits or successful saves/checks.
-Brave is an extra save/resistance and could add flavor.
-Halfling Nimbleness isn't bad, could be situational though.
-Stout Resilience is another extra save/resistance, could also add flavor.
CON's
-No Darkvision, which can be annoying at night.
-Drops faster, if you take more than your total HP in damage.
-Small size, no 2H optimization if I decided on it at the last second. (Although my DM mentioned possibly waiving this.)
-Less movement
[Half-Orc]
PRO's
-Darkvision
-Average movement speed.
-Extra Crit rolls (2H is good, 1H's could be somewhat alright.)
-Relentless Endurance I could take an extra hit before dropping to zero.
-Great stat placement, could leave me with 16-20 Str and decent health.
CON's
-Rolling 1's can suck a lot.
-Less save's if you get surprised with poison damage. The last character died to a dragon, that outright killed my character from poison damage. >=|
-No advantage to being frightened.
I've got a decent list going as of now, there's still a lot more that I could add. Please give me some helpful input on the better choice, and why.
