[QUOTE="Coronoides, post: 6736222, member: 6801453"] This thread is intended for sharing races built using the race design system discussed in my other thread “[I]Race creation system reverse engineered and 38 example races in short form[/I]”. You can post new races here and ask for help on specific questions for designing your race. If your comment or question relates to the system in general please use the other thread: The race design system can be found here: [URL]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?470684-Race-creation-system-reverse-engineered-and-38-example-races-in-short-form#ixzz3p9mdCC3W[/URL] [B]Entering your race[/B] Please include the point costs and evidence levels for your race’s traits and the safety star rating of the race overall. This will enable others to learn from your example or help them help you if you have a question. The Safety Star rating does not indicate balance; all races hopefully will be balanced. The Safety Star rating tells others how certain we are of the evidence used and how experimental the race is. You can do this in two ways. Firstly, you can use the standard short form format from my article. Secondly, you can enter your race with as much or as little fluff as you like then cut and paste the points and evidence from the excel sheet in below that. Here is an example of each method. [h=3]Orc[/h]** ½ Medium humanoid (orc). Speed 30ft. LA0, JL1. Languages: Common, Orc. Str +2{3-20}, Dex+0{3-20}, Con +2 {3-20}, Int-4{2-14} Wis +0{3-20} , Cha+0{3-20} (P 0). [B]Traits:[/B] Menacing: proficient in Intimidation skill (P 2), proficient in great axe, javelin (X 1.25). Aggressive (I 5.5), Relentless Endurance (F 2), Savage Attacks (F 2). [B]Total 12.25[/B] [B]Lesser traits:[/B] Darkvision 60ft. [B]Notes:[/B] combines influences from the MM, DMG282, and the half-orc PC race. [h=3]Half-Elf Variant[/h] [B]All the varied ways[/B] Half elves can arise from human liasons with wandering high elf bards, rangers who come to love the woodelves they fight alongside, and evil warlocks cementing an alliance with drow queens. This variant allows the character’s traits to reflect her heritage. Charisma is raised by +1 Speed 30ft [B]Choose one subrace of elf.[/B] You gain all of the traits of that subrace including the ability score modifier and lesser traits. Note that you do not get the core Elf traits and modifiers, only those listed under your chosen elf subrace (PHB23-24 or aquatic elf above). [B]Traits:[/B] You gain two skills of your choice. Darkvision 60ft, Fey Ancestry (PHB23), plus those granted by your elf sub-race. [B]Languages:[/B] Common, Elven, and any one other language.
