Alright, I tested this out with a few players today in my group. One made a Pandarian race, one made a race of Salamandians (ancient, noble, walking salamanders), and one made a race of men who transform into dragons.
Some notes.
- At first, all players chose abilities with both a +2 and a -2 to physical scores. After one player found out he could get a bonus point, he chose the Homogeneous ability.
- All players wanted to see the list of Flaws before the list of traits.
- Two players chose the "Oddly Shaped" flaw. This makes me suspicious that it might be too good for a whole 2 extra points.
- One player had trouble creating his race (the transforming into dragon men). A "Creating a Modifying Traits and Flaws" section would help a lot with this.
- That same player did not like the restriction on the standard +2/-2 ability choices. Perhaps a section after abilities that descibes a special option to take additional bonuses or penalties would be good. I imagine it will cost around 3 points for a +2 to an ability, and taking another penalty would grant 1 bonus point.
- We created a new trait called "Peripheral Vision" for three points. Races with Peripheral Vision would be immune to flanking.
