[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6074762, member: 7006"] Eh, I dunno. When you've got 44 different races to choose from... I find it hard to believe everyone would rush to a STR/INT race just because it existed... seeing as how the only two classes for which that would actually matter would be the Tactical Warlord and the Warrior/Wizard Hybrid. And while I appreciate the sentiment that I can just "make it up myself" or "ignore them altogether"... one of the real issues for me is that WotC just never thought to look at the STR/INT combo as one that some races really should be. With almost 80 different combinations over 44 races... the fact they never saw more than a single race that [I]could[/I] be smart and strong I just find to be rather uninspiring and a rather short-sighted. But in terms of eventually having some races that have a STR/INT combo... I think it comes down to just needing to personally houserule. And in that regard, for me the ones that make the most sense that lean towards Tactical Warlord is to make Dragonborn STR; INT/CHA rather than STR; CON/CHA... and for the Hobgoblin to swap out CON for STR (also giving STR; INT/CHA).
