how about we just use race as class?
because the playable race that is explicitly better at magic than others should be the only ones to make decent mages balancing-wise
>>54549708
Did you really need to make an extra thread for that? It is common for elves to run around with extra DEX, less common with extra INT.
>using race as class
But that makes no fucking sense and hasn't for years anon
Aren't race-locked subclasses enough for you? Elven bladesingers, dwarven battleragers, orc rapists, etc.
What a grumpy world.

>"Well, I'll never be as good a wizard as an elf, so that's off the list. I'll never be as strong as an orc or tough as a dwarf, so forget being a heavily armed and armored fighter either. Halflings make better rogues, gnomes are better at alchemy and tinkering and elven halfbreeds make better wanderers and bards. No choice then but to become a peasant, like everyone else."

FTFY
we don't need two of these threads

>orc rapists
Orcs are not rapists, they are the future doctors and lawyers of Gondor and you should welcome them with open arms!

You could become an assassin! If I recall, halflings aren't allowed. Half-orcs are, but humans would be better at the infiltrating part, probably.
>>54549971
Okay, first of all, fuck /pol/
Second, if orcs aren't rapists, where do half-orcs come from? And don't go for the obvious answer
>>54550003
Humans rape orcs. They're into kinky shit.
>>54550003
I don't remember, was "hot consensual barbarian sex with tribes of evil humans" the obvious answer?
>>54550003
They come from consensual sex between the women of Gondor and their new neighbors of course. Orc's don't rape, only Gondoran men can be rapists!
>>54550003
Vaginas?
>>54550020
That's how the barbarians in the Shadow Marches of Eberron roll, but because that's so specific, I'd say that's not the obvious answer
>>54550029
Fuck off

You are using tbe reasonable man fallacy. Many people choose to become painters even if they never become good at it and their talents would be better spent elsewhere.
