[QUOTE="Gloombunny, post: 3946920, member: 54916"] Rape is a possible origin for any character. It's just that with half-orcs it can be difficult to come up with any other. Maybe elves have a higher base movement rate, so being slowed down by armor just puts them on par with everyone else? I hope elves don't get a special not-slowed-by-armor power like 3e dwarves have; that wouldn't make any sense for them. For a moment I was worried that she was saying tiefling fighter is an underpowered combination. But then I noticed she said underpowered class/race/[b]power[/b] combination, and I recalled the bit from the Confessions column where tieflings get an attack bonus after being hit. That would seem to work a lot better for a greatsword fighter than one with a shield, I mean why take a race that benefits from being hit and then do your best to avoid being hit? Perhaps that's what she was doing. [/QUOTE]
