[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 3045903, member: 6562"] Same goes for Hobgoblin and Dwarf, though. Hobgoblin is [u]infamous[/u] for being underpowered. A Hobgoblin is LA +1 just like a Kobold is LA +0. They are not meant to be serious contenders for a player's choice. Warforged is a good comparison [b]because it shares traits[/b] with the Dralasite. It's also been looked at by a lot of people. The debate is rather split on the subject, but if your logical chain is Dralasite equates to Warforged, and Warforged implies overpowered, then I grant your first point and dispute your second. However, if that's your claim, the argument is really over -- I'm not going to try to convince you that Warforged are balanced. If you see Dralasites being equal (or slightly inferior to) Warforged, then I'm happy that my job is done. :) ... spending twice as much on his weapons? I'm still not seeing how you actually plan on getting all these full attacks. It's hard for anyone (besides an archer) to get a full attack vs. someone who doesn't really want them to do so. Even harder for a 20 ft. movement guy. Could you please go into that? Maybe we should compare 25-pt buy characters instead of 32. I don't remember saying that 32 was a good place to look. The 'default' assumption is still 25, right? Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
