[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8446359, member: 63508"] Or you could just codify some aspect of the cultural system to make it customizable. TCOE started this but didn't do enough. TCOE put proficiencies in tiers. [LIST=1] [*]Skills [*]Martial weapon or armor [*]Simple Weapon or tool [/LIST] So Elves being ancient get 1 Tier 1, 2 Tier 2s, and 2 Tier 3s. Dwarves being old get 2 Tier 2s and 4 Tier 3. Orcs being young get 2 Tier 1s and that's it. Then you can add more aspects in the Tiers. A Cantrip is tier 1. A superiority die is Tier 2. A maneuver is Tier 3. A spell is Tier 1. A language is tier 3. [LIST=1] [*]Skill proficiency, cantrip, or spell known [*]Martial weapon or armor proficiency or a superiority die [*]Simple Weapon or tool proficiency or a language [/LIST] Once you codify the generic cultural aspects you can figure out where more biological and psychological racial aspects fit as well as other cultural aspects like Tinker.
