In addition to Noitatohtoris article, he does have a good point. People make
elves and ducks because 'they tick a lot and they have good stats'. How many
points of int or wis or how many points of spregen they have more than a
human? 20wis, 20int? 15spr? And if you ask me to clarify my point, compare the
gap in exprate to the gap in stats and regen and other crap. Not to mention
special skills and über emotes from raceguild and race.
Yes I think the stats should be more widespread because now being a duck or
being a say, kobold, doesn't make a difference. Expect for one thing. Kobolds
make a hell of a more exp.
