[QUOTE="jaer, post: 4053072, member: 57861"] I agree, it does seem like a lot of Charisma, but what do we know, or think we know, about the classes and their one, primary stat? The one most of their powers are tied to? Rogues - Dex. Rangers - Dex. Wizards - Int. Fighters - Str. Clerics - Wis. Warlocks - Cha. Paladins - Cha. Warlord....Cha? Str? Being a leader, I would think Cha. The marshal sure was. Not to say a Warlord or a Paladin doesn't want Str, nor does a Fighter or Ranger not want Con, but when looking at that one Prime score, charisma is suddenly becoming a pretty well used stat, so it would not surprise me if we seem more races using it. After all, through 2e and except for a couple classes in 3e, charisma has been the throw-away stat. Only Sorcs really needed, though paladins were helped a good chunk by it as well. It would be nice to see a marshal character (warlord) need Cha. I don't see Warlord on the halflings list of classes they are good at (thank goodness!); I am guessing it is on the Half-elf list (it has been said they are natural leaders). Would not surprise me if it was a Dragonborn. I'd like to see some races with bonuses to physical only or mental only. Eladrin with a +2 int, +2 wis could make sense. Tiefling being Int and Cha would also make sense. This would give these races a certain sense of being primarily magical and caster-focuses. [/QUOTE]
