Race Abilities - Confused

Post by CookieMonster » Mon Oct 23, 2017 6:18 pm

Hey Guys,

Just having a look at the Races Arelith has available, contemplating whether or not to roll a particular Epic I have lay around for the chance to make something different.

I am just a little bit confused.. An example being the Ogre that I am rather interested in having a dabble in.. It says as follows.

Str +6, Dex -2, Con +2, Int -4, Cha -4
(Str +4, Dex -2, Con +2, Int -2, Cha -2)

Does that mean, when I make the character and it loads the Subrace it will instantly have those stats applied, or is that with the Subrace Gift? Or.. I don't know, can someone baby talk the Race Abilities and how they are applied for me please?

The bottom line is what it will get changed to after you select the subrace in game.
Katernin Bersk, Chancellor of Divination; Kerri Amblecrown, Paladin of Milil; Xull'kacha Auvry'rae, Redcap Fey-pacted; Sadia yr Thuravya el Bhirax, Priestess of Umberlee; Lissa Whitehorn, Archmage of Artifice

If I made a Half-Orc with the Stats below.. Once I take the Orge Subrace would they change to what I have put in brackets?

STR - 18 (22)
DEX - 13 (11)
CON - 13 (15)
WIS - 8
INT - 14 (12)
CHA - 8 (6)

Yes.

Str +6, Dex -2, Con +2, Int -4, Cha -4 - This line is the total bonus/negatives that the race gets (including what's affected during character creation)
(Str +4, Dex -2, Con +2, Int -2, Cha -2) - This line is the bonus/negatives that the race gets upon selecting the race in game. The gift of subrace doesn't exist anymore and the stats are automatically applied upon race selection now.
