I'm trying to make all these races level adjustment zero for my campaign, so I need to know whats balance or broken, and need comments, ideas &/or suggestions for them. And just not statistic mechanically, but languages and descriptions, too.
Aasimar
Graced with a touch of holy, aasimars are usually tall, good-looking, and generally pleasent. Some have minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as silver hair, golden eyes, or an unnaturally intense stare. Most aasimars are decidedly good-aligned. They fight against evil causes and attempt to sway others to do the right thing. Occansionally they take on the vengeful, judgmental aspect of their celestial ancestor, but this is rare. They are rarely found in leadership positions and often live as loners due to their absolute dedication to goodness. Others are less fanatical and fit seamlessly into normal human society.

Whenever a dragonkin is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the dragonkin is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him.

The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.

Dwarves average 4 feet tall and weigh as much as adult humans. Dwarves speak Dwarven. Most who travel outside dwarven lands (as traders, mercenaries, or adventurers) know the Common tongue, while warriors in the dwarven cities usually learn Goblin to better interrogate and spy on those evil denizens of the deep caves. Most dwarves encountered outside their home are warriors. Dwarves are experts in combat, effectively using their environment and executing well-planned group attacks. They rarely use magic in fights, since they have few wizards or sorcerers (but dwarven clerics throw themselves into battle as heartily as their fellow warriors). If they have time to prepare, they may build deadfalls or other traps involving stone. In addition to the dwarven waraxe and thrown hammer, dwarves also use warhammers, picks, shortbows, heavy crossbows, and maces.

Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.

Most elves encountered outside their homes are warriors; the information presented here is for one of 1st level. Elves are cautious warriors and take time to analyze their opponents and the location of the fight if at all possible, maximizing their advantage by using ambushes, snipers, and camouflage. They prefer to fire from cover and retreat before they are found, repeating this maneuver until all of their enemies are dead. They prefer longbows, shortbows, rapiers, and longswords.

Gnome males prefer short, carefully trimmed beards. Gnomes generally wear leather or earth tones, though they decorate their clothes with intricate stitching or fine jewelry. Gnomes reach adulthood at about age 40, and they live about 350 years, though some can live almost 500 years. Gnomes speak their own language, Gnome. Most gnomes who travel outside gnome lands (as traders, tinkers, or adventurers) know Common, while warriors in gnome settlements usually learn Goblin. Gnomes prefer misdirection and deception over direct confrontation. They would rather befuddle or embarrass foes (other than goblinoids or kobolds) than kill them.

Goblin
Goblins are reddish-brown to greenish-yellow skinned creatures who inhabit caves and other dark and damp places. Most humans, elves, and dwarves, consider them monsters for all practical purposes. Their sheer numbers are far greater than that of any other race, aside from humans. Goblins, like wulfen, are earth dwellers and live in the darkest regions of the earth, primarily caves, deep forests, or ancient tunnels. They are also quite sensitive to light, as they are so used to living underground. Goblins wear clothing of dark leather, tending toward drab, soiled-looking colors. Goblins speak Goblin; those with Intelligence scores of 10 or higher also speak Common. Most goblins encountered outside their homes are rogues. Being bullied by bigger, stronger creatures has taught goblins to exploit what few advantages they have: sheer numbers and malicious ingenuity. The concept of a fair fight is meaningless in their society. They favor ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise. Goblins have a poor grasp of strategy and are cowardly by nature, tending to flee the field if a battle turns against them. With proper supervision, though, they can implement reasonably complex plans, and in such circumstances their numbers can be a deadly advantage.

However, unlike pure elementals, a stonechild wears utilitarian harnesses and some clothing, and wields a heavy weapon - usually a greatsword. A stonechild lives on the Elemental Plane of Earth, pursuing activities and a way of life at odds with those of its mortal ancestor.

Tiefling
Twisted, devious, and untrustworthy, tieflings more often than not follow their inherent tendencies and heed the call to evil. A few defy their nature, but still must fight against popular opinion (if their narure is known) or the feeling of otherworldly "wrongness" that seems to follow them wherever they go. Aside from a demeanor that many find disturbing, many tieflings are indistinguishable from humans. Others have small horns, pointed teeth, red eyes, a whiff of brimstone about them, or even cloven feet. No two tieflings are the same. In most human societies, tieflings mantain a low profile, operating as thieves, assassins, or spies. Occansionally one rises to a position of power, but when its nature is revealed it quickly becomes an out cast.

Wulfen
Wulfen are basically wild, wolf-like beastmen who inhabit the darkest forests of the world. They are semi-bipedal (standing and walking on two legs, but running on all four), and look very much like wolf-men. They have dark gray fur, tails, digitigrade legs, and the head of a wolf. A wulfen's hands are, however, fairly human-like, allowing them to wield weapons. Wulfens are often found wearing armor as well, and are somewhat skilled with a sword.
Wulfen Racial Traits
• +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence
• Medium-Size: As medium-size creatures, wulfens have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

• Limited Scent: An wulfen can detect opponents within 5 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 10 feet; if downwind, it drops to 0 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range. When an wulfen detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. Whenever an wulfen comes within 5 feet of the source, it pinpoints the source’s location. An wulfen with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Wulfens tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
• Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day speak with animals (canines and wolfs only, duration 1 minute).
• Automatic Languages: Common, Wulfen.
• Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Orc.

Dwarf

Dwarves average 4 feet tall and weigh as much as adult humans. Dwarves speak Dwarven. Most who travel outside dwarven lands (as traders, mercenaries, or adventurers) know the Common tongue, while warriors in the dwarven cities usually learn Goblin to better interrogate and spy on those evil denizens of the deep caves. Most dwarves encountered outside their home are warriors. Dwarves are experts in combat, effectively using their environment and executing well-planned group attacks. They rarely use magic in fights, since they have few wizards or sorcerers (but dwarven clerics throw themselves into battle as heartily as their fellow warriors). If they have time to prepare, they may build deadfalls or other traps involving stone. In addition to the dwarven waraxe and thrown hammer, dwarves also use warhammers, picks, shortbows, heavy crossbows, and maces.

A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.

Most elves encountered outside their homes are warriors; the information presented here is for one of 1st level. Elves are cautious warriors and take time to analyze their opponents and the location of the fight if at all possible, maximizing their advantage by using ambushes, snipers, and camouflage. They prefer to fire from cover and retreat before they are found, repeating this maneuver until all of their enemies are dead. They prefer longbows, shortbows, rapiers, and longswords.

Gnome males prefer short, carefully trimmed beards. Gnomes generally wear leather or earth tones, though they decorate their clothes with intricate stitching or fine jewelry. Gnomes reach adulthood at about age 40, and they live about 350 years, though some can live almost 500 years. Gnomes speak their own language, Gnome. Most gnomes who travel outside gnome lands (as traders, tinkers, or adventurers) know Common, while warriors in gnome settlements usually learn Goblin. Gnomes prefer misdirection and deception over direct confrontation. They would rather befuddle or embarrass foes (other than goblinoids or kobolds) than kill them.

Goblin
Goblins are reddish-brown to greenish-yellow skinned creatures who inhabit caves and other dark and damp places. Most humans, elves, and dwarves, consider them monsters for all practical purposes. Their sheer numbers are far greater than that of any other race, aside from humans. Goblins, like wulfen, are earth dwellers and live in the darkest regions of the earth, primarily caves, deep forests, or ancient tunnels. They are also quite sensitive to light, as they are so used to living underground. Goblins wear clothing of dark leather, tending toward drab, soiled-looking colors. Goblins speak Goblin; those with Intelligence scores of 10 or higher also speak Common. Most goblins encountered outside their homes are rogues. Being bullied by bigger, stronger creatures has taught goblins to exploit what few advantages they have: sheer numbers and malicious ingenuity. The concept of a fair fight is meaningless in their society. They favor ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise. Goblins have a poor grasp of strategy and are cowardly by nature, tending to flee the field if a battle turns against them. With proper supervision, though, they can implement reasonably complex plans, and in such circumstances their numbers can be a deadly advantage.

Born of union between a mortal and elemental, a stonechild is a hardy entity grounded in soil and stone. A stonechild appears humaniod in form only.

However, unlike pure elementals, a stonechild wears utilitarian harnesses and some clothing, and wields a heavy weapon - usually a greatsword. A stonechild lives on the Elemental Plane of Earth, pursuing activities and a way of life at odds with those of its mortal ancestor.

Tiefling
Twisted, devious, and untrustworthy, tieflings more often than not follow their inherent tendencies and heed the call to evil. A few defy their nature, but still must fight against popular opinion (if their narure is known) or the feeling of otherworldly "wrongness" that seems to follow them wherever they go. Aside from a demeanor that many find disturbing, many tieflings are indistinguishable from humans. Others have small horns, pointed teeth, red eyes, a whiff of brimstone about them, or even cloven feet. No two tieflings are the same. In most human societies, tieflings mantain a low profile, operating as thieves, assassins, or spies. Occansionally one rises to a position of power, but when its nature is revealed it quickly becomes an out cast.

• Medium-size: As medium-size creatures, tieflings have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Wulfen
Wulfen are basically wild, wolf-like beastmen who inhabit the darkest forests of the world. They are semi-bipedal (standing and walking on two legs, but running on all four), and look very much like wolf-men. They have dark gray fur, tails, digitigrade legs, and the head of a wolf. A wulfen's hands are, however, fairly human-like, allowing them to wield weapons. Wulfens are often found wearing armor as well, and are somewhat skilled with a sword.
Wulfen Racial Traits
• +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence
• Medium-Size: As medium-size creatures, wulfens have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

• +2 racial bonus to Survival checks, wulfens are naturally from the wild.
• +2 racial bonus to Handle Animal checks with any canine creature (Wolves, Dogs, Foxes, Blink Dogs)
• Limited Scent: An wulfen can detect opponents within 5 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 10 feet; if downwind, it drops to 0 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range. When an wulfen detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. Whenever an wulfen comes within 5 feet of the source, it pinpoints the source’s location. An wulfen with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Wulfens tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
• Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day speak with animals (canines and wolfs only, duration 1 minute).
• Automatic Languages: Common, Wulfen.
• Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Orc.
• Favored Class: Ranger. A multiclass wulfen's ranger class does not count when determining whether it takes an XP penalty (see XP for Multiclass Characters in Chapter 3: Classes in the Player's Handbook).
