[QUOTE="Lord Rasputin, post: 1082252, member: 8410"] Barbarian: Dwarf. You could also go gnome with the Con bonus and half-orc with the Str bonus, but the extra Con and no Str penalty of a dwarf is appealing. Humans could use the bonus feat, the skill points aren't that important. Bard: Half-elf or human. Cleric: Human. Maybe dwarf. You can always make interesting clerics regardless of race, but according to stereotype, human. You can use the skill points; the bonus feat isn't that meaningful. Druid: Human or halfling. Being small would be a help, and this is another class that could use the skill points. Fighter: Dwarf, half-orc, human. Human gets a bonus feat; half-orc gets a Str bonus. If you're playing a specific fighter type, human, the feat is too useful. If you're playing a tank, dwarf or half-orc. Elves for archery. Monk: Human. The extra skill points and extra feat are what is needed. Elves and halflings do gain the Dex bonus, and Dex is THE stat for a monk. I'm not one for half-orc monks; Str just isn't that important for monks, since their damage dice go up with experience. Paladin: Human. Ranger: Elf. The Dex bonus is handy. Rogue: Halfling. Dex bonus AND small size. Sorcerer or Wizard: Not really sure. I know not half-orcs, or dwarf sorcerers. [/QUOTE]
