[QUOTE="Larcen, post: 1320102, member: 2406"] Ah! Thanks for posting all that for my slow self. I now understand what you are trying to say much better. And yes, I agree now with how you define half-orcs as "boring" in the way that the game doesn't really give them any "hook" other than that +2 to STR. Hopefully, some people will use that lack of, ahem, character as a clean slate and make a truly unique PC. But as you say, most will probably lock on to that +2 STR. And to be honest that is MY incentive for considering them now. Heck, it is the whole reason for this entire thread. i.e. How do I get a race that is a strong as possible for my Dragon Disciple STR bonuses to really kick in? Anyway, thanks again. I have to run for now and go join some friends in our weekly Ghost Recon online game :cool: Will check back on this thread tomorrow to see if someone has convinced me yet to take one race over another for this DD character. ;) As it is, I will need to reread all this and take notes since there were so many good ideas presented. Oh yeah, and another good thing came out of this thread....I broke 400 ! :D [/QUOTE]
