First Post
Okay, I'm trying to convert over various 3.0/3.5 FR stuff to use with the PF system.
Here is my first draft of races. I want them to be roughly on par with the PF versions power-wise.
Small Notes:
1. I'm avoiding any flat-out immunities, unless they have to be there.
2. Favored CLasses are added back in: I like the PF mechanic for them, but having everyone 'just pick what you want' defeats the purpose of having favored classes in my opinion.
3. Half-Races: Your free +2 needs to come from one of the bonuses the non-human race provides. Only humans can pick ANY ability score.
4. Weapon Proficiencies will work alot like in Unearthed Arcana: Weapon Groups. You gain new groups and exotic weapons as your BAB progresses. Basically don't worry about this part.
Some of the fluff text refers to other races with the same ability.
Now with the races. Comments and any tips on balance problems and adjustments would be great.
It's far from ALL of the FR races, but it's a start.
