[QUOTE="Bauglir, post: 925631, member: 6982"] And I played a goblin sorcerer in a recent game (the race boiled down to +2 dex -2 cha iirc) However making weak choices is not automatically good roleplaying and vice versa. If I'm a young halfling looking to a future adventuring career am I going to choose to don full plate and carry the largest sword I can manage (ie a longsword) and spend my career as a fighter, forever overshadowed by the big people who are stronger, faster and can carry better weapons? Or am I going to take advantage of my natural agility and learn to skilfully evade danger, and to use precise attacks (ie sneak attacks) to make the most of the smaller weapons I will be carrying? Sure, playing a half-orc that decided to become a wizard just to prove that people who called him stupid were wrong is a fine character concept, but playing a half-orc who picked up a greatsword and decided he liked it is also good.
