T5 has potential if they’ve fixed the issues RPG Review issue 22 published my review/play through of character generation with the last printed version of T5. T5 is comprehensive, it’s more like an entire game line than a core book. However, the presentation was terrible. It sounds like this...

This raises the races DPR to 8.5, would add +4pt to powerful build and to stay in line with the damage curves by level of the PHB race/classes the better weapons would kick in at level 3. Given this is within the first tier you might choose to ignore the level requirement if you don't mind them...

Papers & Paychecks Imagine: You get to work one morning ready for your big meeting with the Chinese Company CEO and there is a cow in your office. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1106063658/papers-and-paychecks Those of you who remember the 1st edition AD&D DMG may remember the papers &...

For example people have mentioned the Goliath. We are pretty certain of the STR, CON, and Athletics prices (P). This leaves 4 pt that really could go anywhere among Stones Endurance, Powerful Build and Mountain born. Note though if you change powerful build that will have a knock on effect...

...oh yeh and look at the evidence codes and star rating. Everyone talks points but few mention certainty of the prices/ quality of the evidence ok bed time here.

Hi all It is a joy to see you all engaging with this! The observation regarding possible asymmetric pricing of negative attributes is interesting. As always make whatever changes you want for use at your own table. I'm still waiting on my copy of the new book and breathing space in my paid work...

Not yet. Only the limited edition special cover has been released in my country. I'm glad to hear my systems prediction that WOTC would release races with minus attributes has come true.

Had a bit of a look.Looks like they are happy with people using races they own as PC races. The appearance of most of what I saw was very professional. Great artwork. I'll be skipped over a lot on appearance alone. Will continue investigations.

I could not agree more. "...This view is supported by press releases and communications with fans wherein WOTC consistently reflects the fan-base’s obsession with ‘balance’. As fans we can argue if they succeeded forever. This issue is compounded because every group plays differently, even if...

Haven't used the DM's Guild yet. Want to give me a summary of how it works?

After another year of play-testing and numerous changes and fixes I present a new edition of the Race Creation rules! After a couple of years of work I ask the following as a courtesy. You may use this to create races for publication if I am credited as “Additional game design by Karl David...

Thanks. I've been busy and haven't been checking here or working on the system. I have however been play testing. My campaign currently has a pixie, a sprite, a talking cormorant, a sea elf, and a thurse (9 foot giant) as regular players. The other 7 PCs are PHB races. So far (level 3) I...

TheHobgoblin "In fact, the more I look at it, the more and more I have to say that a lot of this "backwards engineering" is just random and arbitrary assigning of point values..." Common sense is simple 'judgement based on experience'. with a system this new and with the problem of human bias...

These have a much more satisfying feel than the rather bland versions I offer in the article. Nice work.

For an LA0 race with 2 resistances the cost would be a very expensive 26pt. See page 20 of article for more. please Excuse typos I am overseas and my laptop died so this is being written on my phone. At this point in time my focus is on running my campaign in my FLGS (big shout out to Gatekeeper...

The additional uses multiplier came out of fitting known damaging powers, that said using it for spells is justifiable. Your math looks right.

(Fingers in ears) "lalalalalalalalala" Checking the sheet you are right I have accidentally referenced the cell for Simple Melee instead of martial melee in the formula for elf weapons training. To fix this and get all the races to 12 again is pretty close to a an entire 'do-over'. I wish...

Good point Wis would fit better will the original concept.

Asrai Though listed here with the other elves Asrai are an Uncommon race. While uncommonly encountered the land dwellers know that the Asrai are fragile cowardly people worthy only of pity and curiosity. Asrai are xenophobic stone-age elves native to cold northern seas. They are fully adapted to...
