This will ultimately result in +2 points that you can use towards CUN for a Cunning build, or +2 points in DEX for a Dexterity build.Ĭity Elves start with a point in Coercion, which is extremely useful early in the game before you have a lot of Cunning. Rolling a Dwarf Commoner will give you an extra point to reach the 30 Dex you need for the best daggers in the game (or optionally 35 Dex for the Evasion talent.) It also gives you that precious spare point of Str to help you get the very minimum Str you need to equip your armor/weapons.

(Humans actually have the best min-max rogue attributes, because they start out with 15 Dex, 15 Cun, 11 Str.) Dwarf Commoner starts with 15 Dex, 14 Cun, and 11 Str. If you're just going strictly by which one will make a better dual wield rogue, then Dwarf Commoner has the better stats for min-maxing.Įlf Commoner starts with 14 Dex, 14 Cun, and 10 Str. City Elf Origin is similarly moving, and is especially good RP material. I personally think it's the most fulfilling origin of them all, because (DC Epilogue spoilers!!) you go from being a casteless thug to the hero of a nation and a paragon of your people.

They are considered the lowest of the low among their people, and have to do terrible things just to survive. I have a soft spot for the Dwarf Commoner Origin.
