I was reading through my PHB1 a few hours ago, intending to make a character out of sheer boredom. The character I wanted to make was a Dwarf wizard named Thorgrim. However, the book said play a dwarf if you want to be a member of a race that favors the paladin, cleric, and fighter classes.


Does this mean that dwarves cannot be rangers, wizards, rogues, and whatever else? Or is that just recommended classes?

That is just there to suggest to new players some classes that each Race is especially suited for. For example, Dwarves have good stats for Clerics but that doesn;t mean they can't be Wizards. It's basically an idea for quickstart characters.

That's what I was thinking, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you for the help.

Yeah, that's basically a shorthand for 'your stats line up well with these classes'.  It doesn't include any classes created after the initial PHB, though.

I actually changed my mind. I decided I had too many wizards, so I opted for a dwarf cleric instead. Now, I just need a game for him.

First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that.
