[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8090433, member: 6701124"] Like balancing the races by making sure the dwarf subspecies that had armor, str, and con as its things was lifted up to the others by making both of the ASI +2 instead of a +2 and +1? Are any race/clase combinations uniformly sub-optima? If a character is not getting a +2 in their prime requisite, it's presumably helping somewhere else. Maybe it's extra con so they can still cast their minisculely less effective spells after the other wizard fails their con save against poison? Maybe it's extra chr so they can have a better chance of talking the parties way past the guard to bust the bard out of jail when their dark vision allowed them to not be caught. But yes, going through PF for example, they have a lot of archtypes that are flagged in the class guides as being dumpster fires. There's no need for that. [/QUOTE]
