[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8045764, member: 6802951"] Why not: "Well, I am a big brute, but I'm going to pursue my love of botany anyway. It took more work, but I became a botanist anyway. And I'm [I]still [/I]a big brute who can carry more gear on expeditions, as well as climb, dig, and fight better than my colleagues." Celebrate diversity. That halfling barbarian might have 2% less chance to hit with their attacks compared to a goliath of the same points distribution, but they're also 5% less chance to [I]be [/I]hit. They don't climb as well, but they sneak and balance better, as well as being more likely to act faster in a fight. Just looking at these capabilities they're pretty close in effectiveness overall, but with each being better at different facets.
