Uma is right me and many more choosed race not by points, because when you start a game you do not know what stat really do, but by looks. That way i ended on a conju with Alturian which is not the best choice, but had no pointy ears. I really love my conju and do not care of initial stats. You can cope that differences by getting good gear anyway - now my conju have 3.2k HP and 1.9k Mana(Pool level 1) which is pretty good for a mage. Yes my warlock is better with better stats, but i hate the pointy ears. In fact Alturians are smaller than gelfs too which is a nice plus.
IF Alsius get a dwarf mage i will make one instantly. It will be cute and stelt in the melee what more you want.
