[QUOTE="Blue, post: 1624347, member: 20564"] For some reason, since especially in 3.5, I rarely see a cleric that isn't a dwarf. Dwarves are (obviously) good - not a single bad vote. Elves have the -2 Con, but for some classes (wiz/sorc) the ability to use bows (free proficiency) and have a higher AC/chance to hit (from Dex mods) makes them very attractive, especially in a lower level game. Is it just me, or do elves still have more PrCs then everyone but the dwarves put together? Halflings rock, except for the equipment size thing. (Not that you can'y buy weapons, but finding good small weapons.armor isn't happening much). Small size is almost as good as large size, just for different things. Gnomes are good, small size and Con bonus scream to play a caster. But for some reason no one every plays 'em. Humans with the feat, skill points, and favored class usually make up about 50% or more of any group I see. I rarely see half-elves or half-orcs. Half orcs at least have a niche in comabat - the 24 strength raging 1st level barbarian half orc with a great axe is just scary. Half-elves don't even have that strong of a niche, so I have to vote for them. Cheers, =Blue [/QUOTE]
