Only Gnomes gain a free Spell Focus. Only Humans get an extra feat of their choice. But we can still measure them against each other, pretty accurately to my mind.We can measure them against each other because they are presented as balanced against each other.  Given that assumption - you derive your values from there.  Only humans get a bonus feat, only gnomes get the spell focus, only.... and by comparing them you can attribute to each of these a relative power level or value.The only reason we cant agree about those things is that you havent presented reasons for why you feel as you do about them. Ack.How is a +2 natural armor bonus drasticaly better than a +1 to save DCs with a spell school (Gnomes) or a stackable +1 bonus to all saves (Halfling).See above.Or perhaps some of them are sub par. Or some combination of the 2.That is my assumption - so I attempted to create an average for future races - rather then balancing them to the most potent or weakest races.  Thus my system.I wish you well in developing your race - I'm pulling out of the feedback dept 'cause I get dizzy doing circles.B<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />B</blockquote>
