Is this ever going to change? or is this the direction CF is going with, where 2 races outshine the rest.

Which two races are you thinking of?

Though elf is 3 races.
And humans and halfies, they can have 23/24 dex as well, so really need to add them in as well. And don't forget goblins, 24 dex.

Dex is king in melee because of better defenses maybe.
When has that not been the case though? They've always had better defenses than non-dex races since dodge + parry is better than parry alone. The prevalence of non-physical weapons does make the giant resist physical not as much of a compensating factor in PK though.

You also forgot felar in the 23+ dex crew.

Thats why I was wondering what the original poster had in mind.

With one coder, it's unlikely anything drastic is going to be changed
in any immediate sort of situation. I personally have some thoughts
on what *I* would like to see happen, but CF is definitely a fickle
mistress, and anything even remotely broad-ranging in impact can have
much more significant affects than might be expected.

I hope not, I just got on the train.
