With no stat modifiers, the 'base' life rating of 10, and no racial talents, Cornacs are the baseline to which other races are compared. They're often not as powerful as other races, although they are a good choice for classes that want to spend a lot of category points and have enough places to put generics (since they have no racial tree to invest generics in), or for trying out one of the unlockable trees early.
