    What racial stats would you like the Au Ra to have?

    Given these conditions, which apply to the races we currently have:
    Stats add up to a total of 120
    No stat lower than 17
    No stat higher than 23
    No more than one stat at the max of 23 (if any)
    No more than one stat at the minimum of 17 (if any)

    Something I would probably like to play would be something like this
    STR/DEX/VIT/INT/MND/PIE
    23/22/21/19/17/18
    (For the physically weighted Au Ra type, obviously)

    Au Ru should probably have higher STR, probably something along the lines off:

    STR 27 | DEX 21 | VIT 23 | INT 20 | MND 14 | PIE 13

    Something like thatish.

    Is that even a thing in this game racial attributes are not crucial in this game.

    O.o its still there though, lol. Lets say it takes x amount to actually make a difference but you're like 5 away from that , these stats can help get there ....a bit.

    It actually does matter for BLM, as there's a specific PIE you want to reach, and BLM gear does not include PIE.

    For the Au Ra, I think it would be neat for the attributes to be different between males and females instead of between clans, since the guys were designed to be big and strong while the ladies are meant to be petite and graceful. No other race has such a pronounced difference between the genders.

    I doubt they will do it that way . . . but I still think it would make the most sense. Otherwise I think they should be very balanced in the stat department, much like Midlanders, to reflect how much variation there is within the race (big strong guys + tiny magical girls = average in general).

    Racial stats are 20 +/- 3 for balance purposes. Otherwise, Sea Wolves would probably have higher STR than they do, considering how burly they look.

    You're missing the point and, depending on context, you're not entirely correct.

    As someone else mentioned earlier, PIE is something to consider for BLM. Having a certain amount of PIE allows for a better rotation.

    There are also some gathering nodes with bonuses that some races do not meet the requirements for.

    Neither of these are "crucial", (for balance purposes they can't be) but they are tangible differences nonetheless.

    I want my Au Ra to have high MND like the Highlander ^^, I think I will most likely be Xaela, from the looks of it they look like casters .

    Unfortunately having gender differences opens up a can of worms related to sexism that's better left closed.
    Better to have everyone's stats equal despite appearances than to do something like *that*
