So, my question is this, "Does a character’s starting attributes (or race) really matter?"

I have a Saris and her starting stats were Health=50, Strength=40, Power=40, Focus=40, and Dexterity=80. Now it seems like the logical thing to do is pick an adventure class that her high dexterity would be useful… or does this not matter once she has a few trade schools maxed out?

Would her lack of Power and Focus make her a poor choice as a mage? Likewise, does her natural abilities with LIFE predestine her to be a better Healer than some other races would be? Or does this all not matter in the end or should I say "later game"?

I hope I have made the question clear enough... picking an adventure class has been a daunting task.
