Master of Orion Conversion

Hello, everyone.

I don't know how many of you have played the critically acclaimed game Master of Orion, and its sequel, but with the advent of Dragonstar, I decided to convert all the races into...well...races. Anyway, I've done some work, but I've been lacking in inspiration, so maybe you guys can help get me inspired to keep on working on this.

The "primary" setting would be for Dragonstar, but I tried to make it so that non-Dragonstar campaigns are compatible with these races. Just take away all the Dragonstar-esque bonuses. Also, I'm trying to avoid ECL's and Monster levels as much as possible.

My main thing is with Balance, then after that playability (because what's the point of making races if nobody wants to play them?). I stopped somewhere during Meklar production, so that and everything below that is obviously unbalanced (as in they have nothing but stat changes, favored class, size, and base speed). And forgive me for hte flavor text, I'm rather horrible at the stuff.

Thanks a lot for your help, so without further ado...

ALKARI

darloks: + to cha because they'd be better at cha based skills ... disguise and what not.

Yes, my friend did tell me to do that, since it does fit into their skills, but it doesn't fit into their character.

The darloks were hated by every other race in the game Master of Orion because their reputation preceded them, so I had to lower their charisma to demonstrate that distrust.

mistrusted ... yeah,

(trying to think of counter arguement and failing miserably!)

Darloks do not receive a penalty to any skills with Charisma or Dexterity as key abilities as a result of low ability scores.

and I just saw this ... good job covering your bases on that one, and pretty cool twist too.

ej

Updated the racial list. Completed most of the races' stats. I...uh...feel too lazy to actually make racial profiles for each, but maybe I'll go the Mythic Races route and make a specialized prestige class for each. Maybe. So anyone else other than Wolf, whose comments I greatly appreciate, wish to comment?

The DC of the check is 10 + Caster Level, and if successful, the item is identified, as per the spell.

hmm, charisma is a funny thing that way. I would suggest a bigger bump in those charisma based deception skills, so at the end they come out higher than someone of another race.

Bluff and Disguise would be +4 to make up for their low charisma, considering these skills are what they are supposed to be good at anyway. If this feels unbalancing, you could take some of the other items off the list, or perhaps give them a racial penalty to diplomacy checks.

it leaves up the question of whether Darloks still recieve a charisma penalty when in disguise...

I think that maybe the Silicoids should also be immune to poison. I mean think about it, they got no penalties to toxic or radiated planets, on the other hand to do that the Silicoids should have a +1 ECL.

I was a bit reluctant to give the silicoid natural armor.

I really wanted to give them some sort of poison resistance/bonus, but to do that would upgrade them too significantly. I suppose I can eschew that Toughness resistance for a +2 or +4 racial bonus to Fort saves against poison.

Impressive... I think the Gnolams should be small though... The MoO2 races mesh wonderfully with spelljammer.

give klackons linked minds from MotP? ... that might simulate their hive mind mentality.
