List stats used by racial abilities in race descriptions.

#1 Post by Aquillion »

Currently, the chargen screen implicitly encourages players to choose their race based on that race's stat bonuses (and how they fit into the stat requirements of their class.) This is generally a bad plan; the important thing for a race isn't usually their stat bonuses, but their racial abilities; and the best race / class combinations have synergies between their racial abilities and class abilities.

While mapping out all possible synergies is clearly outside the scope of race descriptions, I think it would be useful to add a sentence to each mentioning the stats that are most important for their racial abilities, just like we list the stats that are most important for each class.
