[QUOTE="Xavim, post: 1152354, member: 14089"] I really just don't see what these abilities are doing that draws the Dwarf into question. Is a lvl1 Dwarf fighter really that much stronger than a lvl1 Human fighter? If we are to assume that it requires a LA we need to assume that a lvl1 dwarf is an even match for a lvl2 human, and I just don't see that to be the case. Sure the Dwarf has a greater con bonus, and runs as fast in heavy armour while weilding a Dwarf Waraxe, but the human still has more hp, a better BAB, AC(through more funds for his level), Saves, and has 2 more feats than the dwarf. Say we use 1 of these feats on exotic weapon proficiency to bring the human even with the dwarf in 1handed melee damage, that human still has a tremendous advantage on the dwarf. Nearly 2x as much hp assuming similar stats (ex 16CON human, 18 CON Dwarf) +1 greater BAB better gear (AC, Masterwork weapons, potions of healing, ect.) +1 better saves (except Fort.) 1 extra Feat. IMO it doesn't look like the dwarf is on par with this guy in a stand down, but just to propose another scenario, is a 19th level Dwarf as powerful as a 20th level human? [/QUOTE]
