Starting stats based on Class...?

I wanted to see how much racial bonuses of 2% or 4% really contributed to buffing the stat and asked myself the question, what are the starting stats? I noticed that the starting stats differ based on what class you were, (Nightblade starts with 100,150,100) while the Dragon Knight is 120, 170, 120. This lead me to try to find a listing of the starting stats, and surpisingly enough I couldn't find anything to that effect. Does anyone know were I could find this short of starting four characters simply to see what they start with.

    Do you have a screenshot of this? I find it highly dubious that the classes start off with different stats, especially one so blatantly favoring one class as you describe; the ONLY difference between the classes should be their three skill trees. Not attributes.

    Keep in mind that your attributes do automatically go up every time you level, so if you're using references, be mindful of what their levels are. A level 3 will have something like 20 points per stat over a level 2, even before putting attribute points in anything.

    EDIT:

    Case in point:

    Level 2 Argonian Dragon Knight has 120, 170, 120

    Level 3 Argonian Nightblade has 140, 190, 140

    Accounting for the automatic points added each level, that puts them pretty even. I'd bank on every class starting at 100, 150, 100 and work from there.

    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    Starting stats are the same for every class. I checked it when creating my character builder, so unless it was changed in a recent patch without notice, I'd assume it to hold true still.

    The stats you mention for nightblade are what you see at level 1, the ones you mention for DK are level 2 stats.

    Attributes should be independant of the class chosen.

    And the racial passives should not be a factor until something like level 5 (at work and too lazy to use google).

    I am sorry, I was noticed that the starting stats are all the same, but when you level up all your stats go up in addition to the attribute point. I didn't realize this so what I was comparing was one character at level 1 and one at level 2. I found some of the build calculators which help me see exactly how racial percentage bonuses affect the stats. Sorry for starting a bogus post.
