[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 4726896, member: 82106"] Everything makes a better X than elves. Elves and Half-elves are non-optimum for EVERY single build in the entire game, bar none. So what's new? Basically between Dragonborn and Half-orc you can be the optimum race for the VAST majority of all builds. Throw in humans, which are at least tied for optimum for a large percentage of the rest and you have nothing left over but a few outliers like Eladrin War Wizard. Of course this says nothing about 'which build is best for race X' nor which race is best out of a choice of 2 races or a small subset of races. Overall most players start out with a race and class/build in mind that will work OK with that race or is just what they want to play. Certain other factors can come into play as well, like particular synergy between certain races and class features or powers. Still, overall there are a small subset of races that make the best adventurers, and oddly all the D&D classic races lose out pretty badly in that lineup, unless you consider Half-orc a classic race.
