[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 5008945, member: 51325"] No race is underpowered since there is ALWAYS a class which at least they are decent at if not great at thanks to their stat breakdown (The bullywug has the perfect stats for the assassin class) . Thus, I tend to look at the feat support and the racial ability. There are 3 types of races. 1. The PHB races - These races gets tons of feat support in the "X Power books and in the playr guides". Of these, definitely the Half-orc ranks high for me in terms of "lacking the cool". Compare Furious Assault to any other racial power of the various PHB races and it is nowhere near as interesting and it doesn't scale at all. 2. The DRAGON races & the Campaign Player Guide races- Basically, these races have gotten at least some feat support via DRAGON articles or in the player guides themselves - Weakest one I find is the Minotaur as goring charge means that any non-melee class, minotaurs are pretty useless and frankly, the gnoll version I think is better. 3. The Monster Manual & Manual of the Planes races - These player races only have a writeup and no feat support. Definitely the bullywug is aiming for the weakest position since the Rancid Air power really isn't going to come up in most encounters. [/QUOTE]
