In the mean time, I realized I had started a bit wrong. I should take an easy core races and split it up between Racial and Cultural. This way I can get the basics down before moving to the other races.One other thing that wandered through my brain, have the Racial piece be Half-Breeds. Pure Blood would be tied to a culture. This would provide a mechanical reason for the typical enclave behavior of the various races and encourage play of half-breed types.Of course, my initial race to work on doesn't really have a half-breed option <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=":)" />New Mechanics:     Favored Skills. This is a skill that the character can consider a class skill regardless of which class they take. This reflects a skill or skills that are extremely common in the culture.   Favored Weapons. These are weapons that the character considers one step easier than normal. Eg, an Exotic Weapon only requires a Martial proficiency, a Martial weapon only requires a Simple Weapons proficiency. This reflects a weapon that is a cultural icon.  Blooded Feats. These are feats that the character may take with their first level slotBasically I am keeping anything that can be explained by genentics, such as good spacial oreintation, in the Racial aspect..and moving any skill based stuf into the Cultural.I agree that 'Feat' may be the wrong thing to call them. Trait or Aspect....or something else. I am sure by the end of this I will have settled on something <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=":)" />Either way, each character choses one 'Racial whatever' and one 'Cultural whatever'</blockquote>
