[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7875401, member: 6895991"] Uh but then I see loads of Halfling, Bards, Paladins, Sorcerers so imagine you play dragonlance so replace Halfling with kender. Every second session the paladin gets fallen status because he "borrows" to much from other PCs. :P Elves would be the top notch thieves and dwarves barbarians (and maybe fighters too). For [USER=40552]@Quartz[/USER] 's dilemma you just played one round of journey to Jerusalem without reducing the number of chairs. You created unusual "archetypes" but did not alter the need to take a certain race for a class to get maximum prime attribute. And, for Halfling it would be STR16 DEX20 WIS16 CHR 20 rather. On the upside it is a viable method to alter things a bit. But lets go for minimum scores instead that might solve [USER=40552]@Quartz[/USER] problem for many races. E.g. min score for race: Str 12 halforcs and dwarves and dragonborn dex 12 halflings and elves Con 12 halforcs and dwarves Int 12 gnomes and elves wis 12 dragonborn cha 12 Tieflings and halfelves well maybe that did not resolve the halfelf sorc bard pala problems it is just a rough example but you could introduce things like halfelves needing 12 in every stat except con because they inherited the best of both races, something like that.
