I thought it was that they get +1 to the Military Branch of skills. You are right about AGI...just stuck in DEX mode.

Well, I was trying to represent that they are stronger and tougher...but also slower and dumber. As for the -1 armor...I remember being excited about finding plate mail +1. Is that sensation long gone? My goal with any game I make is that I personally like all races to be somewhat level to each other. Gorrans have some +'s, but they have -'s to level them out. I thought the -1 AC was just a perk to it all as there are races that actually have more than humans. You may be looking at this from a number crunching point of view, but I was just looking at it from a role-playing point of view. People play halflings just to play a small humanoid fighting big things...and care little about their level advancement.
