[QUOTE="Bolongo, post: 4253359, member: 67076"] Yes of course. Why do you think I'm disagreeing with you? Oh, maybe you think my comment about "pwnage" means that I consider Humans to always be superior to every other race? No, that's not how I meant it. I just mean that whatever class you want to play, Human is always one of the best options, and in several cases it is clearly the top dog. But Dragonborn give them a run for their money as Paladins and Warlords, and Eldarin are pretty nifty Wizards (if they choose Wand), for instance. And that's just considering stats - factoring in other abilities I'd say both Elves and Eldarin rock as Rogues or Archery Rangers, to take the most obvious examples. It's just that if you're Human you can pick whatever class you feel like and run with it; if you want to play some other race you have to consider class much more carefully, or resign to a sub-optimal build. Dragonborn are almost as good, though - the only thing they really stink at is Wizardry. A Dragonborn Rogue might be amusing - can't max Dex, but has a bonus to both secondary stats and some other fun racials. For Cleric, Ranger and Warlock they have to take specific builds (Str, Str and Cha, respectively), but that's no great loss. [/QUOTE]
