[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5791160, member: 63508"] 1) The idea is not that one race is better suited for any one class. That I DON'T WANT!. The idea is that race will have a major effect on the character and how the PC shapes himself. An elf cleric would have access to longbows and thus an above tier ranged weapon. Not only that they are dexterous and are known for their accuracy. So elves (and halflings) would have the ranged weapon option. 2) PCs are not average folk but most are not completely divorced from their kind. PCs will still tend to be physically, mentally, and spiritually similar to their brethren, just at higher degrees and intensities. Sure there will be outcasts and anomalies, both there should be traits a player or character could fairly assume based on race. 3) Most races have traits that nudge them into certain lifestyles, themes, occupations, etc. Elves are accurate and precise (hopefully despite ability scores.) and it would be not strange to assume that elves of all classes would primarily choose and favor actions and customization options that favor accuracy.
