Name a couple that we don't refer to as 'puds' (grin).  It takes much
longer (more real world money) to raise a character with initial points
mostly in low cost areas than in high cost areas.  It's not that noticeable
in the low cost races like humans, but if you skimped initially on DEX for
races like halftrolls, ogres, lizards, and minotaurs you're going to be
hurting later on.

I agree that Dwarves should be pure fighters in most every fantasy game, but
the thing I like about AG is that you're not stuck in some 'class' like in
Duelmasters or D&D.  You can be anything you want even though it will cost
you more experience points or knowledge points in certain areas compared to
other races.
