[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5837670, member: 19675"] Looking at the race side of the equation... I'm currently playing a Dwarf. My feeling is that this race can fill any role admirably- even without class/stat synergy- because they're so damn tough. My Starlock (with Con and Cha as his high stats) has more HP than any other PC in the party except the Dwarven Fighter. That ability to use Second Wind as a minor action is deceptively strong. They get some bonus weapons to choose from. They can resist forced moves, too. All in all, they are hard to isolate from their allies...but can stand tough if that happens. I'm also a big fan of Dragonborn. Their breath weapon makes for a nice ability to have...just in case. And there are some nifty feats to accentuate it, too. Beyond that, I'd opt for a race that [I]does[/I] have stat synergy with the class you ultimately choose, assuming mechanical optimization is your priority. [/QUOTE]
