[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8692172, member: 6801228"] You'd conceded it, then brought it back up to try and support your position. And you agree that class plays a bigger role, yet you insist on arguing with me, when that is my main point. [I]shrug[/I] Really confusing me here why you are pushing forth ideas you don't seem to agree with. Actually, this is a perfect example of what I am talking about. If someone came up to me and said "Dwarves are the race that wear armor" I would respond to them exactly as I have been responding to "halflings are the stealthy race" First I would point out that it is not all dwarves, just like it is not all halflings that are particularly stealthy. Then I would point out that your class determines your armor wearing ability, just as your class determines how stealthy you are. Finally, I would point out that there are other races that get armor proficiency and therefore even if I conceded the previous two points, it still wouldn't make them "particularly dwarvish" to wear armor. Just while if I accept +2 dex = stealthy that doesn't make being stealthy "particularly halfling" Am I denying that Mountain dwarves have a trait that allows them to wear armor? No. In fact, that has nothing to do with my points at all. [/QUOTE]
