Especially in the case of me splitting up the ability scores, I need to make sure that each is still viable. As of right now, strength is very easy to pass up on by some casters, but that's okay to me: they're casters because they're not good with a sword, but a low strength means a low fire chakra ...My goblins are medium sized (specifically elf sized), are completely hairless, have eyes made of a solid puple, have very angled features and are incredibly emaciated. They are a semi-aquatic race, with a swim speed and the ability to hold their breath for an incredible amount of time. They also have a chameleon-like ability to change their skin color, and their skin color naturally changes to match the area they live in (river goblins have a more bluish green skin, while the goblins who live on city-ships have almost purely blue skin). They believe in loyalty, but only for as long as their trust isn't misplaced (one slight and they change from best friend to worst enemy). They are very lawful, but do not work well unless they are in a large group. They are incredibly communal as well; goblins have practically no understanding of "property", aside from what is one clan's and what is another's.The half-humans have only +2 physical (the one that the whole race had +4 to) and -2 physical (again the same as the non-human race). The other half's get more complicated: Elf/Goblin makes Drow (LA +2), Orc/Dwarf makes Bugbear (LA +2), Elf/Orc makes "Wild Elf" (LA +1), and Goblin/Dwarf makes Duergar (LA +1).Sorcerers favor one element and cannot cast spells of the opposite element. Clerics spontaniously cast their domains spells. My ultimate goal is to assign each spell to an element, and to create a way to somehow determine the strength of a character's chakras, which will determine their caster level with each element: if your caster level is not equal to the minimal mana cost of a spell, you can't even access it. Being my ultimate goal, it's a long way off.That's exactly what my Zero level includes: and yes, max hp and x4 skill points is normally first HD, not class level, but after running several characters who had racial hit dice (one with dragon, one with aberration, and one with humanoid), I've noticed that that first HD can destroy character concepts (a 2 HD humanoid who took rogue did not have enough skill points until around level 12).That's an idea I'll have to consider.It's just me and my desire for continuity: I prefer using fractional save bonuses and adding thirds and halves (you have to write them both as sixths, and having a 3 5/6ths save bonus sucks) is annoying.Thanks. Some spells look like they have to be Void (Wish and their like), but I'd prefer to make Void be incredibly rare, and not put "required" spells into it.If there's a demand, I can make a new thread with my classes. Should I make one thread for each class, or put them all in the same thread?</blockquote>
