Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreenTengu" data-source="post: 7834725" data-attributes="member: 6777454">It feels like Pathfinder is just lazily copying what D&D did with them.Which sucks because they are utterly unusable in D&D unless you expressly play them exclusively as Wizards and Warlocks.  Otherwise the racial stats are garbage and you would literally be better off playing literally any other race in the game.And aside from the fact that in D&D, weapon and armor proficiencies are utterly worthless to every single class in the game that isn't a caster as any that are meant to be using weapons automatically start with proficiency in every weapon that a properly stated member of that class that can actually make use of the class abilities would conceivably ever want to use, but also because Intelligence is the most worthless dump stat in the game that is utterly incapable of ever contributing to the success or survival of the PCs.Pathfinder follows D&Ds lead as such that none of the deviations change this basic fact of reality. Constitution gives you nothing but +1 hit point per level which is virtually never going to actually matter and an Intelligence boost is only going to get you half-way towards getting a +1 on skills that you never need to use if the DM has provided the players with decent explanations and can only be used to coax extra information from the DM that they would probably offer for free without a roll, assuming there is even any relevant information to glean.</blockquote>
