Racial flex stats are up!

[captainspud]

Deva: Wis, Int/Cha
Genasi: Int, Str/Con
Goliath: Str, Con/Wis
Gnome: Int, Dex/Cha
Kalashtar: Cha, Int/Wis
Revenant: Dex, Cha/Con
Shadar-Kai: Dex, Int/Wis
Shifter: Wis, Str/Dex (no change)
Warforged: Con, Str/Int

Personally, I'm thrilled about the Warforged. That's exactly the stat split I would've picked for them.

Holy mother of Bob... two Int/Con races?

I never would have guessed. I mean I'd hoped... but I figured that would be fruitless.

Hooray for WotC caving to the fans on that one.

Disappointed with shadar-kai. I would have much preferred either con or cha (paired with either dex or int) - both for flavor reasons and class pairings.

I'm happy about all the others, though it would have been nice to see int/con gnomes for oldey-timey sake.

Revenant: Dex, Cha/Con

Added bonus. Now Revenants make even better Vampires...

I'm happy that according to the article, gnomes suddenly become viable thieves/rogues with +Int, +Dex/+Cha. Not optimal rogues by any stretch of the imagination, but certainly viable.

Apparently they forgot about the Bladelings and Gnolls...

They also forgot Bullywugs, Duergar, and Kenku... probably some others. Orcs? Goblins?

They weren't player races, so they weren't really forgotten. Gnolls and Bladelings both got PC racial writeups. At least, I think Bladelings were given a PC write up... I never really read their section of the MotP.

Yes, but Bullywug is fun to say and type.
