Otherwise welcome to the site, plus the red is hard to read anyway. Stick with white text.It looks like you're trying to create a player character race, if so, to best balance with Pathfinder, the standard advice is a +2 Stat in one physical stat (Str, Dex, Con), and +2 Stat in mental stats (Int, Wis, Chr), then a -2 stat in physical or mental. You cannot have two +2 stats in physical, as you have here and be considered a balanced PC class - no matter how well that fits to your Neanderthal idea.Even though the idea of class dipping into Neanderthal seems odd (if you can do it at all), you have too many first level abilities. Since in Pathfinder, the classes get abilities at every level, there's also a goal to keep a one level dip from looking too inviting. So spread your base 1st level abilities between 1st and 2nd level - two abilities and/or a feat.If otherwise is considered Human, does that mean a free feat at first level? The stat bonuses couldn't justify that.Agreeing that a Neanderthal is a primitive, being able to use every single kind of primitive weapon in existence? That's seems a bit much. In fact I'd limit it to handful of weapons: hand axe, club, possibly a spearpoint.Neanderthals proliferated in the Ice Age covered regions of northern Europe. I could see cold environment advantages for such a race. Having the ability to excell in any chosen environment doesn't seem to apply for Neanderthal.I'd limit the language to Neanderthal common if there's such a thing, otherwise regional dialects of a limited language, think Druid's Cant, not a true language. I'd allow them to imitate animal sounds, but would not allow for additional languages.YMMVOh and welcome to ENWorld!</blockquote>
