Is it just me or are the priority levels for creating characters off on the races. Trolls and dwarves are two of the best race (trolls for combat brutes and dwarves for just about everything). But these races have priority levels lower than or equal to elves (a racce that's nice for conjurers and faces, but not much else). Am I missing something? Some erratta, rule that will hurt them, etc.?
