[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5074725, member: 18701"] Heh, in my case, I wouldn't trust myself to create a brand new race that was balanced with other races. I'm not that good at judging power levels so I wouldn't really know if it has the proper level adjustment. I'd either just use a pre-existing race and change it's history info, or slightly modify a pre-existing race by changing the way he looks, but keeping it's stats (with minor adjustments if needed). The funny about it is, when I compiled my list of 35 races, I assumed that was more than enough to satisfy any player. But I've had a couple players come into the group that still asked if I would allow some other race not on the list...and one girl wanted me to custom create a race just for her :confused: I don't really know what you're definition of a race being "too outlandish" means because I thought maybe you wanted races that appeared more human-like, but then you mentioned Dragonborn and the problem with them being their breath weapon (not their racial features). But if it is just a races abilities that you find outlandish, it should be pretty easy to just tweak a race you like so it does what you want.
