I have been wondering about this for quite a while now, and would like to ask the community their thoughts.

I was wondering about the "best" races for a class, AKA: Ogre SK's, Erudite Wizards, High Elf Clerics, Barbarian Rogues, they all have (arguably) the best stats for their given race/class combos, and I can see that being advantageous in the beginning of the game, as well as later in the game, but how much of an impact does it really have.

For a realworld example, let's discuss SK's. Would an Erudite SK be that much weaker in comparison to an Ogre SK? would the Ogre be able to tank more effectively, do more damage? How much health would the race itself contribute at level 50-60. I know their is the racial abilities, and XP penalties, but taking that out of the equation, are base stats the end all be all?
