[QUOTE="Visigani, post: 5582355, member: 6676235"] If you think about it you really only need a differentiation between small and medium (or larger and smaller) replicants. If you go one step up add strength and reduce dex, if you go one step down reduce strength and add dex... and call them small and mediumc reatures respectively. let's say you made an elf replicant... just how terribly different would they be from standard elf society? Because we "see the numbers" they would look starkly different not having, say... longsword proficiency... but to a member of the elvish people they would just seem like an elf who was uncharacteristically bad at swordplay. Even elves have variation among their people and some elves are just better with the sword than others. But on the things that "mattered" the lack of Elvish Trance is replaced by something even better... as they need not sleep at all. A Halfling Replicant could adopt the same thing. They would seem like an uncharacteristically unlucky halfling... and one that wasn't quite as good as chucking stones... but other than that? Sure, they'd seem a little "different" but they wouldn't seem inhalfling... except to perhaps those looking for it (and so therefore defeating the +20 bonus). Further the unaware replicant may simply be programmed to forget all but the most crazy obvious evidence and in fact may have a backup program like a split personality that endeavors to 'clean up the mess' so that the true nature of the replicant warforged remains hidden... to everyone.. including the warforged herself.
