If it did, I would say it was rather a weak concept anyway. shrugNot so much IMO. Because of BA, modifiers actually count for less because the range is much narrower. When I say "they count for less" I mean they are less important. You don't need huge bonuses because you aren't trying to hit huge numbers.Not at all.I know the argument: the +1 modifier bonus from the non-optimized to the optimized races. Sorry, but IMO, not a big deal.Being more the optimist in life in general, I prefer to think all races are "good" at every class. The so-called "optimized" races are simply better. I don't know why it bothers people so much, frankly. Other people are stronger, faster, smarter, etc. than I am, so why shouldn't some races in a game be better than others in one facet or another?That being said I think there are issues with the balance of racial traits between races, but that is a different topic.</blockquote>
