[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5685017, member: 73201"] True, but some specific race/class combos aren't as "optimized" as they could be when paired with the "best" races for particular classes, like in my example of a PF halfling barbarian as compared to a half-orc barbarian. The half-orc is better suited to that class due to his inherent bonuses to stats and racial perks, whereas the halfling would suffer penalties to the class required stats for his damage (strength in this case). Too many people tend to start at class and pick a race to maximize effectiveness (mostly in combat) as opposed to the more fun role-playing factor (not saying you can't have a ton of fun role playing a different race/class combo, but this was my concept that I think would have been more fun). In my case I think that a halfling that is frothing at the mouth and a bully would have been great fun to role play, but he wouldn't have been as good in combat as the half-orc. [/QUOTE]
