[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6977771, member: 6669384"] What's your opinion on Gray Elf as a racial choice for Wiz? Costs you Con and Str, but bumps Dex and Int. Costs a feat and a skill point per level (4 at first). Let's think about the stats: STR 10 costs 2 points CON 14 costs 6 points DEX 16 costs 10 points INT 16 costs 10 points WIS 10 costs 2 points Cha 10 costs 2 points Applying the Gray Elf modifiers to that you get: STR 8 CON 12 DEX 18 INT 18 Wis 10 CHA 10. Since stats up to 14 cost one for one (starts at 8 base), you can buy those up a bit in that range, and let them get knocked down more or less for free. Stats 15 and 16 cost 6 (for the 14 base) plus 2 per point, so you don't want to buy into that range if the ability is getting dropped. Stats 17 and 18 cost 10 (for the 16 base) plus 3 per point. So an 18 normally costs 16 points, or half of your 32 point budget. Usually not worth it. The Gray Elf build I suggested above would cost 40 points bought straight. If you can live with the relatively poor CON and the feeble Strength it's a great deal. The question is, is it a good enough deal to give up the Human advantages, the bonus Feat and the extra Skills. The Skills even out though, because of the Int bump. So really all it costs is the Feat. Worth it? [/QUOTE]
