Before any point allocation, barbarians are up 19 points in Str/Sta over Dwarves and 53 points in str/sta over halflings.

However if you are just starting out Barbs have to make it out of Everfrost, whereas halflings/dwarves have easier access to EC for newbie buffing mania.

Of note is the 5% racial penalty for barbarians and the +10% racial bonus for halflings. Rogues have a class bonus of 9% which works out to overall bonuses of (including racial penalty/bonus):

Barbarian Rogue: +4.55%
Halfling Rogue: +14.55%
