What do you think is the most underbalanced race and why?

Goblins are heavily penalised at the moment. Apart from dex all max stats are 55 or less and starting stats are 24 or less. The extra dex is nice but I wonder if it would be fairer for str and con at least 27/55 and charisma 24/48.They make dreadful casters too.

What about a 25% bonus to sneak and backstab perhaps?

I think everything else is pretty well balanced

I was torn between Orc and Gnome. Chose Orc.

They can get a high 71 str, but they start at 33 - ouch. with a max dex of 55, and max con of 60 it's not a great race statistically. (And no, I didn't forget the 51 int/wis - wheeeeee). The racial benefits don't seem overly fantastic to me to offset the low stats.

Gnome on the other hand, has pretty much one thing going for it - int and pracs. Wis tops at 55 (ow) con 51 (ow) and even charisma (now needed for charmie spells) 55. And dex/str not worth mentioning. When you contrast the elf with the gnome, it's no contest - elves can get x 71's same str, better wis and better con!

So, I vote both but since I could only pick one, I went Orc. Both will be beat by other races at any class they select.

I dont see any around. Their str is too low along with rest but high dex. Not enough to want to try one.
