[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 780262, member: 1194"] BryonD: this one thread is not evidence that the 3E half-orc isn't shafted. I direct your attention to the myriad of half-orc is shafted threads thru the years, wherein the prevailing opinion (my guesstimate: 75% of the participants) agree that the half-orc IS underpowered. Hate to break it to you, but [b]that's the way it has gone down.[/b] You can argue it all you want, but the majority of people on internet discussion boards (I've personally read every half-orc thread for over 2 years) believe that it is a problem. For Wizards to shirk their responsibility in tweaking the half-orc in 3.5E is amazingly negligent, and their statement that it's a "very powerful race" is a bald-faced lie, from my experiences with 3E. The designers of the game are REQUIRED to understand about a thing called BALANCE. They can't just simplistically call a +2 STR race "very powerful", unless their target audience truly IS the "munchkin", "no-role-playing" crowd. That press statement actually makes me wonder as to who this 3.5Edition is geared towards now. :eek: [/QUOTE]
