    I think that these guys should get a +2 racial bonus to Con.
    Can someone point out a mod which does this automatically without me having to use DaleKeeper every time after creation?

    Thanks!

    I really think low int&cha characters should be penalised. Even the most simple warriors. They gain feats every second level in addition to standard lvl/3 ones. It takes a little more than dog's int to gain improved critical&...

    I realise IWDII is more of a ppowerplaying game in character creation, but still it just seems pathetic to me. If the game mechanics would allow what is possible in real life such a character wouldn't last a week.

    Unfortunately IDW2 isn't about roleplaying at all. It's hack-n-slash from start to finish.

    Of course, you *could* roleplay if you wanted. Give yourself a Fighter with great Intelligence and Charisma - but as there's no opportunity in the game to make any use of these you'd just be wasting your time.

    The game follows d20 core rules. Rules say: +2 STR. Dwarves get bonuses to CON, half-orcs are just stronger.

    and even if you do want +2 con, changing it in dalekeeper after creation only takes a minute or so
