[QUOTE="MindWanderer, post: 4267235, member: 64938"] I think they all have uses--and that half-elf, at least, got a big boost by [i]not[/i] being unplayable. I'm comforted by the fact that 5 out of the 8 races have gotten at least one vote. I'll add a sixth: dragonborn. At first, I liked Dragon Breath as a weenie-wiper. Then I saw that every class get AoEs of some sort. Draconic Heritage is nice, but the fact that it keys off an ability score than the Dragonborn doesn't get a bonus to results in built-in MAD. Str and Cha sounds like a useful combo, but it's really not: Paladins and Rogues should focus on one or the other but not both; it lends itself well to a melee cleric but melee clerics suck compared to "laser clerics." It's good for warlords, and solid for hammer/axe fighters. So it's not so much that dragonborn are really that horrible, but what they are is a trap. [/QUOTE]
