[QUOTE="Phoebasss, post: 8068450, member: 7025876"] Let's not be silly here. DnD never makes you take "the good with the bad" when it comes to race choices. You either compromise on power or flavor, unless the character you wanted to make was already a wood elf archer. If you wanted a wood elf archer, you just get all of the good things for no cost. Playing a dwarf ranger should feel different, not just weaker. And right now it just feels weaker. Dwarves and elves have interesting racial features that differentiate them far more than the stat changes, and you can just give everyone a combat relevant racial ability if you feel they need to be differentiated in combat. Something like current half-orc's "savage attacks" but not just for melee. Or extending dwarf's naturally tough aesthetic to once per day damage resistance or something. Because anything is more interesting that 5% more likely to hit. [/QUOTE]
