[Iron Heroes] Races

[GravyFingerz]

I really want to do a Dark Sun game in the Iron Heroes ruleset; but I'm not quite sure how to handle the issue of races. I was thinking, for the non-human races, have them assigned one trait and then allow them to choose one additional trait ; but also take away one of their feats at 1st level.

Any other ideas? Possibly better than mine? I see assigning level adjustment as a possible solution.

For every race but thri-kreen, can't you try to get your players agree to a gentleman code, that they chose traits that fit with their race? I think that would be the easiest way to do it IMO. It doesn't become exactly like DS but it will go nice with Iron Heroes without complicating stuff too much.

Just provide them with two extra, fixed Traits - one good, one bad, that balance out.

Hmm, but those are already in the game so I don't know how well that sort of balancing would actually balance out.

I would develop a set of racial traits somewhat similar to background traits, even to the point where you only get one.

It should be made clear though that you can get a racial trait and a background trait.

I like your gentleman's agreement idea. I would also create a few new racial traits, to go with the appropriate human/generic traits.

It's the same guy asking the same question on a different board.
