[QUOTE="Whithers, post: 7120578, member: 6883963"] I have read the DMG and PHB in 5E. I have been looking online for days. Two things, which are somewhat related, have me baffled. The first is Feats - which I can't really get a grip on at all. There is nothing in the charts, instructions, etc. that definitely states how many feats a character gets during advancement. In Pathfinder 3.5, which is what I am used to using for the last few years, the chart on character advancement states when one gets feats. In 5E, if I understand it correctly, one has to give up ability point advancement for a feat - and then hope the best feat to get gives back the ability point one would advance. So, in Pathfinder, if I want to create a race there are specified feats and specified abilities according to the CR of what you are creating in order to maintain balanced play. I can't figure that out, find the right source, or there is nothing definitive enough for 5E. Below is my first attempt at a player character race. I used Pathfinder 3.5 and then attempted to convert it. I would like to find something for 5E. (Not including the full write up on this race in case I have a player reading here.)
