[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8068040, member: 27385"] I agree with some of the earlier stuff saying that the average of a race is a lot less than PCs get right now. a human average is a bunch of 10s and starting PCs get 15,14,13,12,10,8 if you play that way- which is incredible compared to average. An average halfling should be weaker than the other races 8 times their size, so they get an 8 strength on average. A PC halfling can put their 15 in strength and take the -2 for a 13 which is still stronger than the average orc with its +2 strength. Now comparing PCs which are all above average to the normal people in the world, my halfling fighter may never reach a 20 strength, or may need to wait until 18th level or such. Same as my mage orc or my other non-stereotypes. If I want to play a fighter, maybe I play something to get the +2 strength, or a human to get a feat, or a halfling to get a Dex build, or any of a bunch of builds to get something worth playing. Some may depend on how one builds a PC and if having a 20 in your main stat is important. I tend to pick class first and race second, but others may be opposite. [/QUOTE]
