This is similar to the Changeling race from Eberron Players Guide. Thinking that this is a nifty new idea, here's my take on applying it to older races:Dragonborn +2Str, +2 to Con or Cha--many Dragonborn features already work off of Con, so this is an obvious choice. I thought about making Str or Cha be the fixed stat, but settled on Str as Dragonborn tend to be the beefy warrior types overall.Dwarf +2Con, +2 to Str or Wis--This almost makes Dwarves too good at Str based classes, but if you're going to give Dwarves this choice this is it. Constitution should be the fixed stat 100%Eladrin +2Int, +2 to Dex or Cha--Cha makes Eladrin perfect for Bards and Warlocks, and Eladrin fit the mold of a high Cha raceElf +2Dex, +2 to Str or Wis--Previous editions wild elves often had a Str bonus, and frankly I don't see Elves having a bonus to anything else.Half Elf +2 Cha, +2 to Con or Dex--Half Elves are half elf, and elves are all about DexHalfling +2 Dex, +2 Con or Cha--Literature paints Halflings as tough little buggersHuman--I don't know how much Humans get hosed by this change. I guess it offsets the fact that the bonus feat and At-Will get better and better with the passage of time.Tiefling +2Cha, +2 Con or Int--Charisma has to be the fixed, the whole race works off of it. Con is obvious, enabling the Hellfire Warlock among other thingsPHB 2Deva +2 Wis, +2 Int or Cha--A bit of Aasimar for the Cha, and it seems appropriateGnome +2Cha, +2 Dex or Int--Gnome Rogue and Sorcerer FTWGoliath +2Str, +2 Con or Wis--Wisdom is obvious here, Goliath are a primal race if ever there was oneHalf Orc +2Str, +2 Con or Dex--Half Orcs really aren't right with a bonus to mental statsShifters--Shifters already kind of have this, with the two types. I'd leave these unchangedOtherDrow +2 Cha, +2 Dex or Wis--This is a tough call between Int and Wis, but I go with Wis based on Drow Priests.Genasi +2Int, +2 Str or Con--Con better enables caster type GenasiKalashtar +2 Wis, +2 Int or Cha--Psions...Warforged +2Con, +2 Str or Dex--Anybody remember Scout Warforged?Shadar Kai +2 Int, +2 Dex or Con--Con seems obvious as number 3Gnoll +2 Dex, +2 Str or Con--I"m not big on Gnolls as PCs, but here it isRevenant +2Con, +2 Dex or Int--Revenant need a caster stat, and Int fits the bill best.</blockquote>
