That's my point. Stats should matter, and if you follow the premise of this thread, the stats will matter even more since the dwarf will have Con 22 and the goliath will have Str 22.The dragonborn is probably better at talking to people.That's still true, though, even when they have stat differences. Dwarf wizards will still appreciate being underground, and halfling wizards will still like to entertain, because those are social things that have nothing to do with their stats. You don't lose those things, just from also including stat differences.Tiefling clerics exist because tiefling communities need spiritual guidance, and they want the blessings of the gods. They aren't going to bring in an aasimar just because they're slightly better at it.Because those restrictions don't both make sense, unless goliaths are from a culture where they never invented bows. (Which is entirely possible, in any given setting.) Most societies that have the knowledge and materials to craft bows will have archers, unless they're technologically adept enough to have guns or something. The ability to shoot people/animals from far away is super useful.</blockquote>
