[QUOTE="ReshiIRE, post: 8381963, member: 7031231"] Dexterity is pretty good on a Sorcerer due to a lack of armour profiency. You won't have a +3 for Charisma, but you do get extra AC, Lucky is pretty strong, a lot of mobility with Halfing Nimbleness, etc. Especially considering how MAD Sorcerer is, it isn't the optimal chocie but it's not a bad one. A better example might be a Firbolg, although as a sorcerer you'd synch well with the Speech of Beast and Leaf. To add onto the conversation, I have been watching but forgive me, I do have a question. People (I think somewhat rightly) have said that a +1 gained from racial ASIs doesn't have a huge amount of impact on gameplay. This sounds pretty true for most games played. But that does bring up a point. If that +1 doesn't matter, that 5% doesn't matter... Does that not apply on a population level as well? Where the 5% differenfce doesn't make a difference at all to what different populations of races can do? Especially in comparison to features like Lucky, or Speech of Beast and Leaf? By the way, I do think it should be pointed out that for a lot of races, floating ASIs won't make them the strongest ever as they often have a number of features that don't necessarily align with great classes you could play with them if they had floating ASIs. For example, Lizardborn probably would good Dexterity fighters or Rogues thanks to Natural Armour if you assigned your +1 to say Dexterity... but you wouldn't get any use out of Bite if you, say, dumped Strength. And vice versa for Strength based characters. In fact the races that got power boosted aspects from floating ASIs a lot of the time didn't have racial features reflecting their ASIs at all... which means that they probably would be really strong at any class they would play thanks to those features regardless (Flight, a feature for Aarackora, is strong for any class, after all), and the fictgion of the race doesn't really reflect their ASI?
