And a halfling thief would be formidable. You can't catch the freakin' guy!
Yes, theft would suit a halfling well, or a goblin. In other rpgs that I've played the max of a skill that one can reach is really determined by the class only. It would be nice if the race was taken into accound also. That would make the character more unique <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />.
Acually, I think that would only limit the caracter, since then you can't make that dwarf thief you allways wanted, since dwarves has limited thievingskills etc. Remove the classlimitations instead, only add bonuses for race and class, THAT would give you allmost full freedom of your character <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.
