[QUOTE="DarkSong, post: 402058, member: 4676"] Morrus: Thanks for the tips on material that's already tread this ground (or at least something similar...). I'll definitely check out the Asgard stuff. Chun-tzu: Like you say, having multiple point tables would be less "elegant", and is really something I'd rather avoid...making more races available seems complication enough...adding different cost scales would really muddy the waters. Elder-Basilisk: You're totally right that the system breaks down a little at higher point values, but I think this just also a part of the point system. I really don't think it'll be a problem, since at high point values, you're looking at pretty heroic characters, and shouldn't that be where you'd expect to see an Aasimar or half-dragon tagging along? One conceptual problem I see is that, if you make some effort to "correct" for the huge stat bonuses some ECL races get, then you've effectively adjusted their stats to be close to equivalent to ECL+0 races, while in theory these races should have higher stats...it's almost like you're putting heroic stat humans with low-end half-dragons (or whatever). Does that make sense? And if so, is it even a problem? Or just something that the player will have to consider when constructing the character? Thanks for all the feedback. Later. [/QUOTE]
