> For instance, take giants and gnomes for example. Yes, a gnome is 'smarter' but are gnomes known for their combat ability? Yet their int is higher so they learn skills faster. Giants are known for their physical combat prowess, yet they learn things like the use of weapons, etc. slower than the other races. Why? Because they are smarter, and Giants are much stronger. Say the son of a policeman wants to be like his dad. He is already pegged as a cop by other people, this doesn't necessarily mean he'll be able to do the job better and/or learn it quicker. Gnomes are much more intelligent than Giants and that's why gnomes can be a variety of classes and Gaints are more limited. Also Giants excel at bash and enhanced damage and so they get these automatically perfected. That is just one example, but for the most part you can reason out the differences between the races.
