[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 807990, member: 4134"] No, they don't. They got some proficiencies for free, which are martial weapons, no exotic ones, and anyway they're in their racial package, while dwarves get bonus to saves against all magic, a dodge bonus against giants, a racial attack bonus against orcs.... Now the dwarves will get something on top of that, but what will the elves get? And will the half-elves gain something new? They're off even worse since they were a little on the weak side before, and now the gap's getting bigger [B][/B] Familiarity isn't the same as proficiency. An elven fighter will gain nothing from the free proficiencies, but a dwarven fighter will gain something from the familiarities (and fighting characters get the most use out of weapons!) [B][/B] I know, but maybe they incorporate a racial weapon for each race. And the warsling and skiprocks would be ideal for halflings. [B][/B] "would" and "will" is not the same... And I doubt that everyone will stop buying Wizards stuff now. Even if they don't pick up the revised core rules, there are other works for D&D and d20.
