How many of you create different characters for different jobs?

i began the game believing any race could play any job therefore one need to have 1 charcter.

then i saw lalafel dunesfolk tanks with less HP than regular war-class players. starting stat differences can be found here http://www.ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-a-re...l-stats-guide/ although I do not know at what rate each race's stats go up other than the ones you can select yourself but the starting stats are a guide at least.

I don't think racial stats make a big difference. Are you sure you weren't comparing a Paladin with a Warrior? Warriors have more HP than Paladins.
