So Long, and thanks for eating all my fish!! (Race Bonus thread)

i always choose small people in video games someone pointed out to me, i hadn't even noticed! i did know i always preferred to be a mage/summoner though, maybe that is why i always chose the small people? but I liked being ratonga in everquest - so i might switch if we get a rat race(i like the ones we have in game now(what are they called?) they are currently just NPCs and called beastmen

They're called Quiqrn I think.

Anyway on topic, I prefer the racial stat bonuses stay the way they are since I shouldn't be penalized and gimped in a particular class just because of the race I chose.

The entire point of stealing the races from FFXI was to make the transition easier for players with a lot of time invested in their characters. It is kind of hard to do that when the Roegadyn are lacking a huge aspect of what made the original Galka what they are.

Borrowing races =/= direct clone. If you also recall, there weren't any female Galka. Now we're getting female Roegadyn. They've become their own thing now.

Chocobos look different with each iteration, moogles look different, Cid looks different. Why are Roegadyn/Galka special?

Please don't give racial bonuses unless they're fluff.

Even in FFXI racial bonuses, while nice, hardly mattered except at the very very very very peak of perfection and elitist groups and runs.

Unless you are planning on getting into a pissing contest for the #1 DPS in the server it shouldn't really throw anything off balance. Besides you're a Hyur, you would be the most balanced out of all the races anyways. No one would ever deny you a slot because of it.

I don't really ever want ANYONE to be denied a slot because of race choice. Doesn't matter how much the difference actually matters, you know as well as I do that the community shuns anything that's non-optimal.

He'll never concede the point, you're wasting your time. Right as you are, he'll never admit it.

I thought there already were racial stats in effect, plus each clan was in turn specialized as either towards physical or magical stats. Aside from that, I think your guardian should offer some kind of latent stat bonus.
