[QUOTE="jye42, post: 4099848, member: 61900"] I think i have figured out the racial ability scores by reverse engineering the DnD experience character sheets. I figure its a 29 points buy (although 2 have worked out as 30 may be an error). This is my Guess Half-Elf (+2 Cha, +2 to any other ability except cha, seem to have picked con) 29 pts Human (+2 to any 1 ability score, cant be the same one) 30 pts Eladrin (+2 Dex, +2 Int) 29 pts Dwarf (+2 Con, +2 Wis) 30 pts Tifling (+2 Int, +2 Cha) 29 pts Halfling (+2 Dex, +2 Cha) 29 pts We know the tiflings are defiantly those adjustments from a photo of the book. no matter who's theory you look at for ability scores there is 2 which end up with even numbers and 4 with odd. Ive seen some other suggestions but i think this one works out the best both thematically and mechanically although humans appear a bit gimped. The only other possibility to even this balance is if half-elves get a +2 Con rather than pick where it goes but im not sure that that makes sense as elves are frail. [/QUOTE]
