[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8369067, member: 59057"] Yes. Lets not discuss real ethnicities. But if you have a race that has a physiologically or metaphysically different body or mind or magical abilities, then this should be reflected in the stat block. I think stat bonuses are outdated since point buy. They were just a nice statistical increase and I remember in ADnD, some races were limited to 18 or lower in a stat despite having a bonus. As I said above and in a different thread: make abilities that are useful for every class and which feel like reflecting the diffefence. The Goliath resilience allows a wizard to maintain concentration on a very low damage attack and the powerful build allows him to be loaded with a lot of spellbooks.
