Unlike skills, racial stats, advantages and disadvantages are easy to change.
I just think that all the races should be looked at as a whole, like one big racial review, instead of changing one when there are enough moaning and whining about it.

Minus out Merian, Elfen and Viscanti though, since those are based on specializations.

Merian Elfen and Viscanti strike me as being pretty well balanced. Dracnari strike me as being a bit overpowered since they are presumably going to end up as a specialization race, and Taurian, Tae'dae, Orclach, Krokani and Furrikin strike me as being rather underpowered. The others seem to be alright, though I'm probably forgetting one or two.

Any specific statistical changes you guys have in mind? As they come up I think the original poster should add them unto the first post to catch the attention of new readers, but maybe I'm just too practical.

They do need some work. I still hold that every race should be at least VIABLE in combat (though as Silvanus says, the three main ones more so.)
Dracnari need downgrades too. If they're going to be a city race later, they'll be way too damn good when they specialise. If not, eh, they should be fine then.
As for WHAT upgrades Furrikini (Faeling got an upgrade...sort of) I still think all we need is for DEX/CHA to do something useful.
If that's impossible, an L1 eq recovery would be just fine.
I don't know about Tae'Dae being underpowered. They look okay to me. Aslaran could probably use a little something too, they have one heck of a nasty disadvantage there.

No, they do not need to be downgraded, they are fine. When they specialize, they probably won't get as much of an improvement as the other city races do, maybe a stat point here or there, not a huge boost, or maybe some extra racial ability that has little or nothing to do with combat/hunting.
Unknown2005-04-11 11:46:01
You people don't honestly believe Dracnari will get a boost to int/con without downgrading the other stat. 15 CON and 17 INT (for example) looks awesome of course, but it's not gonna happen... (at least I think so)
And Dracnaris are not overpowered, lvl2 sipping penalty is a serious disadvantage.
