No kidding? I see lots of Orks and Dwarves in the games I've
played over the years. If people aren't playing them because of
a perceived, or even actual, inequity in attribute adjustments
at creation, well, fooey on them. :)

Was the priority reduction /really/ to make them more attractive
than other metahumans at chargen? Can anyone confirm that remark?
