[QUOTE="skulrik, post: 167384, member: 1402"] For some time, I've been juggling with an idea about creating 1st level adventurer of a non standard race. Maybe it's have been discuss in a another thread. If so, can you lead me to them please? Here my idea: We can introce the concept of "Racial class". With a racial class, one can start, and only start is character as, for example, a Minotaur Level 1. With no other class. After that, he can gain level in anyone class he want, and can freely add level in his minotaur class, without XP penalty. Gaining level in the Racial class represent the growing of the character. This is an exemple, for the minotaur: [SIZE=4][B]The Minotaur[/B][/SIZE] [B]Abilities:[/B] Determine it with the method of your choice, and adjust Intelligence and Charisma as per the table 2.5 and 2.6 of the Core Rulebook II.

[B]Class Skill:[/B] the Minotaur class skill (and the key ability for each skill) are: Intimidate(Cha), Jump(Str), Listen(Wis), Search(Int), Spot(Wis). [B]Skill Point at first level:[/B] (2 + Int modifier) x 4 [B]Skill Points at each additionnal level:[/B] 2 + Int modifier [SIZE=3][B]Race Features[/B][/SIZE] All the following are race feature of the minotaur: - +4 Racial Bonus to Search.
