Your dwarf can still have a 16 charisma, thats pretty damn charismatic. And anyway being a good diplomat isnt all about sweet talking.  Maybe your dwarf says "see mister human lord we think your charging too much for grain, and since you buy most of your iron from us i can see 2 ends to this discussion. YOU lower the price of your grain or WE raise the price of our iron. Your call". Your halfling can be a great brawler. He can have a 16 STR. Which is flat out absurd for a guy 3 feet tall and pudgy. But the rules let you do it. You can then make him a monk with a 16 STR and he'll clear out bar rooms in seconds. Or barbarian. A tiny, roid raged, 3 feet of fury barbarian. Elves dont have to be frail. Give your elf a 16 CON and he's tough as hell. Thats iron man competition tough. Drow are a broken race mechanically usually anyway but theres no reason you couldnt put your highest pts in STR and INT and your lowest in DEX and CHR.  Would he be quite as pathetic as a similar human? No. But he would kind of pathetic at everything, giving him a great reason to be MOODY.   There, problem solved. Your welcome.</blockquote>
