Weapons are doing lower damage all around and the hit to armor class and initiative does not help either.Penalty to dexterity and intelligence hurts two of the main offensive areas for a wizard.On and on.It is not that it could not be used for other roles but that it not only does not excel in any area you basically have to min/max just to get to where other characters normally start at.The primary ability that it has is definately very, very strong but it does not lend itself to any role in particular. It does not make him particularly more dangerous on the field and yet he is taking a lot of power hits in most areas to get it.It is not that this guy could not do any role if a player decided to play it as one but it just is not all that good at anything and is a poor choice for many different character types.The limitations present shunt it down to a small set of choices which it could be decent at and that is not a very good starting position for a race to be. Time for a redesign from the ground up.</blockquote>
