[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8193147, member: 7025508"] Like I've said in previous threads, this is how I would do it if I were forced to create a system that supports a large swathe of different tastes: Break up all species features into half-feat sized chunks. (+1 ASI is worth one, +2 two.) Every character gets equal amount of these, six might be a good number. Small characters could get one more, as being small is mostly a detriment. Then there would be prewritten packages of these traits and ASIs for various species that people just could choose from. But as the system is modular it would be super easy for GM to create new species packages, and for GMs who want to allow more flexibility it would allow easily the player's creating custom trait packages for their characters. It could also allow various hybrid options, like for example all elves having three fixed traits and then they could choose three more. It would also allow easily trading two of these traits for a feat. [/QUOTE]
