They have been shown in 1.0 and other quest lines in 2.0 to be as capable at combat as the next person. In fact, Lalafell in 1.0 could throw people overboard etc in the limsaian storyline.
2nd point:
Yes, 100% agree. I try and encourage it but most people don't rend to bite on it.
1st point: Discounting the fact that physics entirely disagrees with this logic because it's a fantasy world and, y'know, whatever, I'll bite the bullet for the sake of the game's lore, a person who is 3'2 will lose to a person of equal skill that is 6'6. They just will. It's a simple question of arm's reach. Big guy can hit little guy before little guy can hit big guy. If Big Guy's quick enough (not super quick, just fast enough to swing a thing at something running toward him), he essentially gets a free attack. Lalafells don't have super speed to make up for it. I have an Elezen, a Hyur, and a Lalafell and they all run the same speed. Am I going to tell a lalafell RPer that his warrior is not strong and is weaker than other races? Certainly not. But there is a handicap there, even if it isn't strength based. There is. Sorry, lalafell players. Surprise, your arms are shorter than everyone else's, and your weapons are smaller.
But I don't want to get into this, because I'm here to vent with everyone else, not fight everyone about lalafells' war aptitude. Wasn't the point I was trying to make. I'd be equally mad if any race god-moded their fighting skills to emote-kill any passing stranger because they're really into themselves. My whole point was that it's incorrect to assume your character is the strongest person in the room every time they enter a room.
2nd point: I'm an adventure-RPer. I can't do tavern RP for a long time, and if I am doing it, I'd like it to be in a place far outside the 3 big cities. I know your struggle. I only know like two or three people who truly venture outward to RP.
