Now its just a matter of deciding how important your race is. My halfling healer and chanter are fine, my barbarian assassin, not so much, IN MY OPINION. I find it is worth the 25 bucks to change my race to one that better compliments that class. And no, I'm not going to dark elf
I heard they wanted to make it somewhat cost-prohibitive to use race potions alot. I think the price point is right on to make it affordable if it really bugs you for one of your chars, but too high to change races every time the wind blows.
