I think everyone looks at the numbers every once in a while, I won't
encourage it, but I will accept that it happens. As long as the characters
my players are playing are interresting enough to keep. More often than not
a dwarf will end up either a very physical character due to it's higher
strength, or a rigger/decker type due to stereotyping, or a magician due to
munchkinism (+2 willpower). I don't think you'll soon see a dwarf mage with
a starting willpower of 2.
