How Do I Pick A Race

Picking a race affects your character and the class they play, as all races have their racial strengths and weaknesses. So here are the good and bads for mixing and matching which class with which.

Stats
Dwarves get a +2 to constitution but -2 to charisma.

+ for barbarians, fighters or possibly any character whose going to be at the front lines, although 2 constitution doesn't do much, it counts + constitution enchantments allow a character to start with low constitution as you can get the enhancements later on - for any charisma dependent class, like bards, sorcerers and paladins

Skills
Dwarves get Dwarven Stonecunning +2 to search, and search enhancements and Dwarven Stability, gaining +4 to balance

+ for rogues, trapsmiths specifically + balance helps every class

Feats
Dwarves get +2 to spell saves and saves made against poison and also a +4 AC to giants

+ all saves are useful for any class, but particularly for characters with low will saves and reflex saves for spells, and fort saves + for anybody going Gianthold
