Need help with balancing a race

[DungeonDragon]

[MENTION=78958]Empirate[/MENTION] Thank you, and I'm sorry about all the fluff, I basically just copied it and posted it here, I forgot all about it. I think I can edit it out? Or is that against the rules here?

 

[Empirate]

'Course you can edit it out.

BTW, I do enjoy reading a race's fluff as well, but you could also just put in in a separate paragraph, or spoiler tags, or something. '-2 racial penalty to Spot and Search checks' is really all that's needed to understand the mechanics.

Oh okay. I'll try to edit it when I get back from the millions of things I have to do today.
[MENTION=6667844]eve[/MENTION]ryone: As I mention in the title of the thread, any help/suggestions on how to balance anything is appreciated. If you don't think its balanced, I would really appreciate suggestions.
Ie: They're too strong, maybe add a -2 etc or weaken this trait./ They're too weak, maybe add a +2 etc or strengthen this trait.

I think you could keep the Pulo's penalty to spot/search, but make it work as Low Light Vision, since it says "regardless of the amount of light." It wouldn't be overpowering, in fact, I think it would make it more balanced. Alot of people will rag on a penalty to a stat without a bonus, such as the Elan.

That's a good idea. You mean like increasing the distance of their sight while keeping the penalties?

Yeah, sure, increase the sight range, along with low light vision.
