Message: <blockquote data-quote="Doomsdaisy" data-source="post: 54422" data-attributes="member: 36">Hmmm, several problems.First off, ability modifiers should NEVER be given in even numbers.  Odd numbers only make penalties easy to conceal by assigning them to an odd numbered base score, and can create benefits where ordinarily none existed.  There is a good reason why every race is given ability mods in even numbers.Secondly, there is NO WAY that this race could be an ECL +1.  Even if they had a simple +2 Str. and -2 Chr., the other benefits of the class are pretty powerful (especially the myriad of skill bonuses).This race involves so many role-playing 'rules' that it is pretty much unplayable except by someone who wanted to conform to a specific kind of character.  First off, I see no reason why this race would lean towards good.  If anything, they should be mostly evil as they are descended from vampires.  Secondly, the class suggestions don't make much sense.  I think Wizard  would be a more appropriate choice than barbarian.Overall, Dunpeals would probably be better as a template rather than a race.  The feel that the author wants clearly would be better served with a template that could be applied to any creature.</blockquote>
