[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5899277, member: 7006"] My only reason for splitting them up was to even things out. If you're getting feat progressions via Themes, do you NEED to get them via Race as well? Not really. Sure... it would make all the sense in the world that [I]some[/I] part of your Race would affect combat ability... but if Class and Theme already represent that pillar... does it really matter if Race ultimately doesn't? I'm just trying to even out the distribution a little. That being said... I also wouldn't have a problem if at level 1 your Race granted you a few combat-leaning abilities as part of your natural inclination of being a race. So the dwarves/axes thing wouldn't really bother me. I would just say though that PAST Level 1... your Race would then only grant additional Traits, and not Feats which affect combat-ability. Because at that point in your PC's career... it should really be their Class that causes their combat ability to get better, not just "being a half-orc" or whatever. At least, that's my opinion on it. [/QUOTE]
