Title: Half-Elves
Post by Arilas on 06/19/03 at 15:57:22

I believe this was allready stated but I don't think an answer was found.
Half-Elves: what good are they, I don't know their exact stats but Humans and Elves are both better than them, whichever class you want to make them there is a better race. The only reason anyone would have to pick this class is if they like the race because of what it is not what they can do. I think half-elves should be taken out or redone because right now, they basically suck. Gnomes too, since the stat changes they got worse and are no longer worth it. If I'm wrong here please correct me.

I think they'd make great pacifists, x x 19 19 19 20, pretty good to me. Get the extra hp, slightly less mp and only one less charisma. Personally i'm going to try to get me a half-elf pacifist, as I think they'd be the best.

For the rest of the classes though they do seem pretty useless, every other class has a best race, and half-elf isn't any of them (except pacifist imo)

Halfling - Ranger/thief
Elf - Cleric/Mage
Gnome - Mage
Dwarf - Fighter/Cleric/Thief
Half-Orc - make ok zerkers, might make good fighters with statt mods.
human - good at anything really.
Half-elf - only pacifists, and I expect a lot of other people don't agree with me on that.

cosidering pacifists won't be doing much of anything, every class makes great pacifists. half-elves though are rather lacking in regards to offering anything for classes. but i don't know what could be done to make them more usefull.

i agree on both races, gnomes have become pointless as thieves atleast...i think they should either get some kind of better stat type thing that'd help them as thieves but not mages or just be taken out as thieves..they have no advantage over other thief classes because they only get +1 wisdom over halflings, while losing 1 str, 1 dex, and 1 charisma....and how often do your thieves get jumped by a mage? mine have never been that i can remember.

anyone tried a half-elf zerker?...i doubt they have any advantage though...they do seem pretty useless atm.

I've been trying to roll a 5 stat half elf to make into a cleric . . . at lvl 28 with boots of time and SG's stats would be 18 x 19 19 20 21 ;D

Like Ive said before, give them an extra dex, that's all they need, maybe pull 1 off wisdom.
