[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5306302, member: 35909"] I'm going to stick to LA +0. Dwarves have the most sheer power. Most widely useful stat in the game is higher, and lower for the "most common dump stat." Nice martial weapons, insanely good save bonuses, stability, darkvision... not even halfway through all their benefits. Even a Wizard could do much worse than being a Dwarf even if he never once uses half the racial benefits. Humans are a close second, the bonus feat alone just proves to be more important than anything else a lot of times. Strongheart Halflings I'm not familiar with the exact rules of, but apparently also get a bonus feat and thus could even be better than humans for nonmartial classes. Warforged round out the top 3 just because of their massive immunities list and the ability to be healed by arcane or divine. I'll admit human and dwarf is usually better, but the nature of what makes warforged overpowered makes me hate them the most... Maybe a flask or knife throwing rogue would consider it, but no special vision alone makes them a crappy rogue race. Halflings do make the best core spellcasting race if the DM won't even allow Monster Manual racial variants, though. Actually, even if he does, they probably make the best druids in core and come close to forest gnome for best core sorcerer. (Fire Elf and Grey Elf obviously make the best wizards in core...or Human I guess...). [/QUOTE]
