I've noticed this making up NPCs especially with half-orcs. Apparently there are to be no half-orc wizards, paladins, clerics, or anyone that wants to use skills based off intelligence unless you want a massive starting penalty. I just throw it out when making NPCs, but that's cause they'll die in a few rounds anyway.
The NPC cleric I run is a half-elf. It didn't take me long to realize there is absolutely no benefit to that race at all. lol
