[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9592890, member: 23751"] No. You might have a point if the abilities granted had nothing to do with the races in question, but they do have something to do with the races. Non-brutish races/professions don't get brute. Small races don't get brawny. They BIG ones do. And so on. If you are looking at a creature and reasoning out something they might have that fits with the creature's theme, there's no circular logic going on. Circular logic is asking why a race has X ability and saying, because they have X ability. That's circular. Example 1: "Why do goliaths have brawny? Because they are a larger than average race and brawny fits their theme." - Not circular. Example 2: "Why do halflings have brawny? Because they have brawny they must be brawny creatures, so they have brawny." - circular. [/QUOTE]
