After posting, then pondering, I see that the a) option isn't working under any circumstances.... Do you think that dropping Flurry of Blows would be a balanced tradeoff? "Monks have the option of not gaining any FoB attacks, in order to have their unarmed attack treated as a +1 BAB at 1st...

...In your game, in order to either a) get the fighter's BAB progression? (Doubtful this would fly in our game, but I figured I'd ask) or b) to be treated as having a +1 BAB with unarmed strike at first level? (More realistic, yet it seems like an "odd" type of house-rule) Is it possible to...

Quartz--- The Aassimar get +2's to the same two stats, with no other stat penalties, plus other special abilities, even a spell-like ability, at a +1 LA. My race isn't equal to that. I guess next time I post something here, I'll make sure and type "New Race... is it balanced?" I have a fully...

I appreciate this. I now understand where the "mechanical penalty" phrase fits in. I will adjust my ideas to include something like that, no prob. I would love to see some links to something similar, so I can have a working model of something "less flat" to compare to. You know... constructive...

I'm not sure I'm quite clear on the whole flat character issue. I put something in this race for flavor (i.e. not using bladed weapons, so that they can attempt to incapacitate foes, unless their life is truly threatened) and it gets singled out as having "no mechanical reason for it". But then...

By taking literacy, the same way any 1st level barbarian who wanted to multi-class as a wizard... or who just wanted to be able to read. The Bouminiarr (or somesuch) from the planar handbook is a non-speaking race and you have to take a feat in order to be a wizard that can cast spells with a...

Pirate- Basically it is just a "blunt weapons only" restriction much like the old cleric used to be, the rest is just flavor text. They are not subject to Non-violence any more than any other race or class. Maybe some italics or something would clarify, hehe. And thanks for the...

...insert minor hijack here.... Is there any PRC, feat, etc that allows a divine familiar other than the Magic of Faerun's Mystic Wanderer 2nd level ability? Is the staff familiar only for arcane casters? I had a character with the two level dip in MW and Improved Familiar feat and it was...

Stoic Racial Traits +2 WIS, +2 CHA, -2 STR, -2 INT: Stoics are quiet and contemplative, with generations upon generations striving for enlightenment. They are plain-spoken and honest, and trusted as mediators in almost any scenario for their foresight. Long periods of meditation, however...

Thanks for the input. I might have to wander on over to the house rules forum and see what I can dig up over there, for custom races. just fyi, I could not find the +0 LA aassimar in Races of Faerun... The section on that race specifically said +1 in the info panel just under the heading...

Thanks for the leads, ya'll. Any speculation as to why the drought of WIS adjusted races? When I had the initial thought to begin this search, I didn't think it would be quite this much of a wild goose chase.

So far, in my quick, skim-scan page-flipping, I have only found one (1) race in the Wizards books that allows a +2 WIS racial bonus with +0 LA. It was the singing, non-verbal monk-like race from Planar Handbook. I would like to play a cleric in a high powered campaign my group is starting, and...

A tavern... hmm. I'd settle for a sunny day and no little buggers trying to pierce me, slice me, or freeze me. Ydyr moves to climb down 2nd, after Jerek.

Ydyr swivels his head between Lehko and Kuma. Catching Kuma's eyes, he shrugs and sighs... bowing his head. Diplomacy, friends, allies... all take second place to "surprise" he thinks.

Ydyr moves to the door and nods in assent to open the door, ready to spring away, should there be a surprise waiting on the other side. We did check this door for traps, right? he asks the group queitly.

Ydyr comes to a halt with the rest of the group and pauses. He closes his eyes and inclines his head. Here's a prayer to Illmater, should he find me and this group in this foul place... a prayer for Plan A. *sighs quietly*

I'm back... odd sort of lapse in my subscription to the thread. Was so busy, that without the email reminder smacking me in the face I just went about my daily business and forgot. But I'm here (again)... glad I sensed well during the negotiations while I was away. :)

Ydyr sags visibly after the negotiations... partly from nerves.. and partly because it was still somewhat of an effort to remain standing. This place might yet sink its teeth into us, he thinks. I'll like it more when its my fists that are doing the talking, instead of this politicizing.

Ydyr looks up at the exchange from a cross legged seated position in the corner of the room. In the heavy gloom, he sighs, and tries again to center himself, reaching out to Illmater, finding a calm restful place inside. [[Ydyr is nervous and restless, but understands the power that the wyrm...

I was awake the whole time... though not much of a contributor.. lol.
