[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7541786, member: 15882"] If you are getting rid of sub-races, why not give each race a main stat boost (like dex for elves and halflings,) and a +1 to any other stat. That way, you have the flavour of the elven dex but could go with a ranger (wood elf) by putting a +1 to wisdom or more wizardy +1 to INT. Do that for every race. It'll give players much more choice. It will allow for clerics in various races too. Maybe that second +1 has more to do with their upbringing than their actual race or whatever. Shadowsight: I like it. But I liked low-light vision in 3e. But why limit it to 60 feet? the easiest thing is to let them see in dim light as if it's regular light. Mechanically speaking, they get no disadvantage on perception checks in dim light. That's super easy to keep track of. Little races and carrying capacity. I like it. I always thought it was stupid that little races could carry as much as the bigger races. It's better than giving them a penalty to strength or capping their strength. That said, the Little races tend to wear little versions of everything which would make those items lighter. I might house rule that worn gear(like clothes and armour) does not contribute to encumbrance. Otherwise you'll have to house rule the weight of all the equipment of small people because you shouldn't limit a race from wearing a small suit of full plate. What I did with halfling PCs is just used flaws. "you can't wield that sword, you're too small. have an inspiration." [/QUOTE]
