Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 6179933" data-attributes="member: 57383">From what I remember the authors did some editing of the original (2006?) version to alter some bits that the Burroughs estate had a claim to. I have no idea how substantial the changes between these editions were.That's a reasonable approach. I guess that means an "Earth Man" will get an amazing Strength bonus (plus a huge racial bonus to Jump).Still, if you want Greenfolk to be adventuring side-by-side with "Standard Races" I think it'd work better if their RP value was lower in order to reduce the challenge level disparity. It should be possible to get all the key Green Martian abilities within a 20 RP budget. There's no point aiming for a lower budget since Multi-Armed is a Monstrous trait, and that's kind of key to a Green Man.By the way, isn't the current Quadrupedal Movement trait more valuable than the standard Quadruped trait, since the latter has "members of this race use weapons and armor as if they were Medium (instead of Large)." I'd suggest adding that line to it. It'll also fit with the books better, since Green Martians and Red Martians were able to use each others weapons without problems).Oh, and if only "particularly skilled green men" use three or four weapons doesn't that imply they don't get Multiweapon Fighting as a bonus feat, but that some higher level Green Martians learn that feat?One problem is I don't have the Advanced Race Guide so I'm going by the pathfinder reference document site's version of the rules. It'd be easier if they had sample PCs of races with racial HD, but all the Featured/Uncommon races I can see appear to be ones without racial HD.I think you're right to include monster statistics for a Green Man. If you want a typical Greenie to have X Hit Dice you can always just make the sample an X level warrior. Considering their warlike lifestyle, an average Green Martian could easily be a warrior 3 or warrior 4, like the Guard and Veteran Buccaneer in the NPC Codex.</blockquote>
