New Racial Stats

[Suicidesoldier#1]

So, I've sort of known for a while that races were going to/had new stat bonuses that could compliment their old ones, such as Dwarves being Str and Con instead of Con and wisdom. (For 4E that is)

As much as a min maxer that I am, I don't really know how to feel about it, or even if I'll use it, seeing as how it sort of drastically changes the game and makes a lot of new stat options.


But, regardless, I don't quite know what any of these new stat combos are.

I was wondering if anyone knew, and if they did.

I don't really keep up with these type of things, but I do have every major book except for MP2 now! blaugh

The biggest benefit I see is Str/Con for Dwarves and Char/Con for Tieflings.

Pretty much opens up the possibilities they basically should have had sense the beginning.


IMO, the rest is mah.

But there might be a few more in there that are pretty interesting.

i like int/cha for eladrin. fey pact fey seem appropriate.

con/int warforged make for solid artificers, I might've gone that way with mine if it had come available sooner

dex/con halflings make for much better fighters, which is just something i enjoy on a personal level

Yeah, I forgot about warforged, they can make pretty solid mages too.

And I suppose Eladrin are cool, now that they can be warlocks.


As for Halfings, I can understand that. xp

Herm... when it says either or, it basically means that it's one or the other right?

Yes, each race has one stat they must get a bonus in and two you choose one of.

Yeah, I thought so.

Weird how they put "either or" though. xp

not really. they put 'either or' because its shorter than saying "either this stat or that stat".

and it looks better on a table with just either or  

[Suicidesoldier#1]

Yet, but either could imply both.

Either, or this one!

lol xd

Well the issue of "either or" looks like to me dragons could go strength/con.


But they can't, cause their fixed is Char.

So it's weird wording to me. xd

either doesn't imply both, it implies a choice between multiple valid options.
