[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 4252922, member: 834"] It's impressive how many people can have radically different views of the same stats. I'd like to say that each opinion is worth the same, sadly a lot of of the human comes down to hard numbers and they don't give a **** about opinions. People who think that the +1 to all defense (except AC) is weak and that it becomes irrelevant as levels increase are wrong. There is just no way to comromise or agree to disagree on something that is close to 2+2=4. I don't want to repeat the arguments, but it's high school math to realize that level 1 doing +3 against defense 14 or 15 is the same as level awesome doing +53 against 64 or 65. In both case the +1 decrease the damage you receive (along with those nasty side effect) by 10%. How cool is that? The only thing that prevents this from being a rout is the extra +2 that other race gets. For example, Dragonborn and dwarf fighters with the same build as a human gets the same will defense thanks to their +2 to CHA and WIS respectively. So humans get a +1 to [I]only[/I] fortitude and reflex compared to them. The human will have +2 to STR too so they can't claim higher fortitude than him. Do you get that ; the DWARF fighter doesn't have a better fortitude than the human fighter! [/QUOTE]
