I hate the idea of race-as-class. It is the definition of racism. Even in Tolkien, we had more diversity in our elves and dwarves than that suggested by the race-as-class idea. So, we are just skipping over that and jumping to actually useful material.
In LotFP, characters are generated by 3d6 in order. This represents, I suppose, the randomness of the universe and the degree to which it doesn't care that we wanted a fighter, we get someone with 18 Int and a Con of 5 instead. Races let you pick and choose where your abilities go, with some caveats.
Bairnedred: Highest scores must be in Dexterity and Wisdom.
Ferocia: Highest scores must be in Dexterity and Constitution, and lowest or 2nd-lowest must be in Strength due to small size.
Archivists: Highest scores must be in Intelligence and Wisdom and lowest or 2nd-lowest must be in Strength due to small size.
