Race Elimination "Quarterfinal"

[Camelot]

But Swift Charge (or the one that gives you +2 speed when you charge, I don't have my book handy) doesn't.

so your problem with half-orcs is that a race that is meant to be good at melee has 1 ability that doesn't really help spellslingers

Swift Charge is the right name for it, though it's confusing since that's also the name of a Barbarian class feature.

I don't really get how charging is a bad thing for any printed class which cares about Strength and Dex.

I *suppose* you could do a sorcerer with a half-orc. Those care about strength OR dex, and don't get much benefit from charging.

I think the point is fairly moot though. There aren't any races (other than human) that are good for every class.

IMHO Humans make crappy Rangers, because Rangers only use one at-will power ever.

PS: Yes, I know about Beastmasters, but that's still only 2 at-will powers.

I have to admit it's purely because of the cool cartoons that I didn't vote for the gnome, yet. So, let's get rid of the half-breeds first, please!

They don't care much about charging sure, but so what? Not too many half-orcs are known for their spell slinging abilities... The fluff on that particular race doesn't fit, neither does the mechanics (a bit), but you still get the attribute bonuses.

I'm pretty good at inciting arguments about a topic I'm actually not that concerned with, aren't I?

That is the purpose of this thread, right? To start silly arguments about nonexistent races?

Yep! Cause the most boreing and least flavorful race actually already got the boot!

Give you a hint, one of those races is not like the otheres, one of those races exists...

We argued about humans too.

Wait.
