[QUOTE="Davelozzi, post: 50220, member: 771"] You can get most of what you need by using the Ability Scores for Monsters rules on p 23 of the DMG with the average ability scores for the subraces in the Monster Manual, since they are the default (Greyhawk) subraces. Most of the races end up being similar to the FR subraces. Grugach=use FR wild elves Wood elves=use FR wood elves Grey elves=+2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Str, -2 Con (or use FR sun elves which have the +2 Int and -2 Con but no Str or Dexx adjustments) Drow=use FR drow (which actually represent the adjustment of female drow from the MM. Males have lower charisma but I would recomend against using this as an adjustment as it's not balanced). High elves=standard PHB elves Hill dwarves=standard PHB dwarves Mountain dwarves=standard PHB dwarves (or use FR gold dwarves which get the usual +2 Con but suffer -2 to Dex instead of Charisma) Duergar=use FR Duergar (Gray Dwarves) Rock gnome=standard PHB gnome Svifneblin=use FR svirfneblin (Deep Gnomes) FR Halflings don't translate well into MM halfling subraces. However the MM subraces don't have any ability score adjustments and the racial traits seem to balance any extra advantages by removing a few standard advantages. You could probably use them as is without any problems. Keep in mind that the more powerful subraces have ECLs (+2 for Drow and Duergar and +3 for Svirfneblin). [/QUOTE]
