[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5276743, member: 43019"] If you gave my human fighter the option to change to a dwarf fighter, I definitely would not. Honestly, I'm starved for feats as it is... losing a feat would mean I'd have to drop something that nets me 20 temp a fight or drop +5 init & +2 to Insight and Perception. He's got an 11 Con... at 18th level. I've never once been knocked unconscious (though if I was a dwarf I _would_ have been since I'd be down a feat, resulting in less hp), and never come _close_ to running out of surges. So getting 2 extra Con isn't helping me much. The only times I've ever Second Winded or considered it were off the Ring of the Dragonborn Emperor, to make sure I stayed up until the healer's turn. Otherwise I'll take the +20 to +50 to surge value thanks. I'm sure I would have considered it more as a dwarf, but I do have literally 10 uses for my minor actions so I'm okay doing something else instead. And, yeah, I like swords. +1 attack is good stuff. And I'll be 21st pretty soon, so weapon focus will be +3 instead. It's possible I'd be better off as a Shifter (Str Wis) or Minotaur (ditto), but honestly their racial benefits don't impress me at all, and I like the human feat options. I wouldn't mind the extra couple damage per round, but human still gets bonus feat, bonus at-will, bonus to defenses... yeah, no, human is definitely working out well for me. [/QUOTE]
