[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 5273676, member: 1956"] One thing I found is that truly imaginative power players can explore beyond primary/secondary ability score matching. And indeed 4e allows that. Each of the 4e classes have at least one primal ability score and 2 or more secondary ability scores. This structure opens various classes to various races. And even if non of the race's ability score bonus matches to the ones useful for a certain class, racial traits and racial feats can open possibilities. It is widely accepted that Dwarf is one of the best race for Fighter even though Dwarf is not a STR +2 race. This is just a starting point. Eladrin Paladin? Not bad. Indeed it is good for a defender to have slightly better initiative bonus and the ability to teleport once per encounter. Eladrin Education also helps Paladin to learn Athletics skill. Deva Rogue? Well, some of the most important skills are wisdom based. And Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes helps you to either hit a target in critical moment, or let you make an important skill check. And so on.
