I hate that there's this awesome long sword in the underdark for drow, but it's a Str based weapon. Drow naturally tend toward finesse weapons because of a game mechanic. Whereas I want a drow who can use that long sword, and use it well.
But if I make that drow, I know I'm always a point behind in Str. Which means I know there's always someone better out there at my same level. I know it's an immature thought. I get that I could ignore it and concentrate on roleplaying. But it's hard. The thought is still there. The knowledge that I'm not optimized for that long sword I so want to use as a drow.
Basically, I get it. I understand the desire for that extra point.
