I have finished off the major nations in Khorvaire, along with some sidetreks into odd cultural choices such as the Feral..Let me know what y'all think!Oh, I formatted for actually posting, to all the code tags look a bit silly <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/edit]But seriously, now that I have you reading the thread <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I have been bantering an idea around for quite some time, but really have not had the time to invest in it properly. I thought I would resurrect the idea here and gather suggestions, input, improvement, and criticism from the wonderful folks at EnWorld.Problem statement: RAW races have hard-coded cultural ties and do not handle half-breed and cross-culteral raised characters very well.Suggestion: full rewrite of how races and cultures are handled mechanicallyPreferences:- The race slice I will focus on a short list of mostly core races; Dwarf, Elf, Halfing, Orc, Ogre.  - The Culture slice I will focus on is that of Eberron, simply because thats the setting I currently run.Concept: split racial and cultural mechanics into feats. All characters start with 3 feats, one General, one Racial, and one Cultural.A human character is one who has choses to use the Racial feat as the Human bonus feat.Neat ideas to add in: - Blooded aspect... Bane weapons only work against creatures with the Racial feat or monster types. Humans are immune to Bane enhancements. Enhancements can be made to target or require a certain Blood line.- Blooded Feats instead of favored class, Perhaps Elves have an inate arcane ability that grants them a +1 effective caster level.Before diving into the weeds on this, what sort of constructive criticism can I get on the overall project?If you want to dive into the weeds right off the bat, don't hold back! Eventually a Feat writeup is needed for each race, culture, half-race, and any nice Blooded traits.Thanks in advance for a good debate on this. I hope the resulting discussion will be useful <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
